Roto Rooter #3.

The sump pump was actually working! The Roto Rooter guy came out and got it to work AND he's not going to charge me. YIPPEE YAHOOO.

And we're on the queue to get the 2 broken drains fixed. He thinks that we will likely have to spend moocho donairo in the next few years to replace all the crumbling concrete perimeter drain tiles but in the immediate future he is going to fix the 2 that are clearly broken (minor donairo $$) to get the water flowing in a connector fashion-all about the house. Then he says wait thru a rainy season (i.e. the winter) to see how it goes before deciding how major of repairs we need to do.

So that is that. The queue to fix the drains is about 3 weeks so I know that you will await with eager anticipation my update to that service....
