someone was waiting for me
maura @ 8:46 pm
Jonathan was grumpy about yesterday’s post, which made it sound like he was sitting around on the couch all day eating bonbons and watching Kiki’s Delivery Service with Gus. But he wasn’t! We were both working the whole day, though Jonathan’s chores were less painty and more plumby.
See, in the morning, just before Jonathan was about to head out to the food coop to do the grocery shopping, I asked for his help with the drain on our bathroom sink. It’s been slow for ages and I had the evil chemicals* in hand, ready to fry whatever clog was down there.
* Oooh, how unhippie of me! We have those chemicals from before I got all crunchy, and I figure it’s better to use them up and not buy any more than to just throw them away, right?
So we pried up the sink drain and boy howdy, the gunk, it was intense. Dr. Seussian, even. Inspired by the degunking (no chemicals required!) we moved on to the other bathroom. Where we promptly broke the pipes.
Now, it wasn’t really our fault, more the fault of the crappy plumbing they put in 20 yrs ago when our building went coop. But still, a broken sink is a broken sink.
Jonathan went to the coop as planned, then took a trip to Lowe’s for plumbing supplies. But he couldn’t find the right thing, so he and Gus had to go back to Lowe’s today.
And then when he was installing all of the new pipes a different part of the sink broke. Guess it’s back to Lowe’s tomorrow.
So, to recap the weekend’s activities:
Bedroom: ceiling painted (white), walls painted (pale butter [har, of course!])
Bathroom: sink broken (twice)
