Taking Care of Problems #SOL16

I'm joining with Two Writing Teachers for the Tuesday Slice of Life.


Yesterday I took a personal day. I had scheduled to get my septic pumped. The guys came and there was bad news. My septic was draining properly. Turns out,  I have to replace the first 12 feet of the field line, called the header. I did this nine years ago. Should I really have to replace this already? I called the guy who did the work. He said text him my address and he'll let me know when he can come out. He mentioned something about today, but I haven't heard back from him. So my poor mom is put on alert. When the guy calls me, I call her, and off she runs to my house. Then we had quite a bit of rain last night. While I was watching tv and relaxing, I begin to hear a dripping noise. I discovered a leak in my roof. When it rains, it pours - I guess. Houses - blessed to be able to own one, but boy is it a pain in the neck!

  1. I think you need to dance with a paintbrush. It's great for relieving stress over septic.

  2. When it rains, it pours is right! Hoping that you get these out of the way and then get a long stretch of "nothing."

  4. Ugh! Water can be such a nuisance, can't it? We have a foyer window the leaks terribly. I can't even get somebody to return my call. I can hardly imagine how much it will cost to replace it. Good luck to you!

  5. Water problems were definitely the theme for the day! Home ownership is definitely a drag in such circumstances; hope all is fixed soon!
