When you have water coming up from under your foundation…

And then you have 5 different plumbers give you estimates to fix it that range from 5 grand all the way up to 20 grand…

It’s a huge mess.

But it has to be fixed….

Yes, that’s right.  The first few pics are from the kitchen and the second huge hole is in our bedroom floor.  And just be thankful smell-o-vision isn’t real.  Cuz’ it stinks!!!

The pipe that connects the washer dryer/sink/dishwasher  to the main sewer line on the other side of the house broke.  And I can’t really live without running my washer, dishwasher, or using my sink.  So we had no choice but to get it fixed.

This was phase one of fixing the problem.  Tomorrow they will attempt to pull a new flexible pipe through the old cast iron one.  The hope is that their machine can bust up the old pipe as it goes so we don’t have to have any more holes dug into our foundation.  And so they can finish before Christmas.  Oh please, let them be done by Christmas.

It stinks.  So incredibly bad.  And on top of the smell, it just plain stinks.  This doesn’t feel like Christmas at all.   If you’re the praying type, we could use some prayers.  This is a big mess.  And it isn’t looking like we will get to hang out at our house much before Christmas.

I apologize for the ugly pics.
