Wordless Wednesday (Happy Halloween!)

Spoke Too Soon ...

Unfortunately, our drainage problem was not completely resolved. We had a few days were it seemed everything was back to normal, then yesterday morning Brian put on a load of laundry and, surprise! Water on the floor in the workshop again.
We had someone come look at it today and figured out what the problem is. Now to get it fixed! Fingers crossed it is not too much of a hassle and not too much money!!

Brian, The HandyMan

It seems Brian has solved our drain/leak problem (fingers crossed!)

It turned out that the water was coming up through the drain in the floor of the workshop when we ran a load of laundry or drained the tub. So somewhere along the way, there was a blockage sending the water back into the house. Brian rented one of those snakes and sent 'er down the pipe! It reached all the way to the septic tank, so apparently whatever was blocking it was pushed out of the way. We ran the washer several times, filled and drained the tub, and there was no water in the basement! Yay! Grace was very eager to help and supervised in her rubber boots while we ran the washer to make sure the water wasn't going to come back up. 

I have to give Brian credit. Since we moved into the new house, he has proved to be much more of a handyman than I thought he would be!
