So after much harassing on our part, the landlord decided to call a plumber. I think it had something to do with me mentioning that we should not have to pay full rent, due to the inconveniences of the power/plumbing issues. The 'real' plumbers arrived at 4 just as I was leaving for work. But thankfully it was Mr. Rooter. And not some guy he knows. When Mike got home at 7:30 they were just finishing up. Apparently the bill was $550. And here's why. There is a vent pipe that goes up to the roof. And it seems that someone who used to live in the upper suite decided to experiment with this pipe. They pulled out various items, including a block of wood and a CB radio antenna! Finally the drains flow properly and I don't have to worry about that particular issue anymore.
But now this morning, the power outlet that powers the all wonderful coffee maker stopped working half way through the brew. Craziness. We are still looking for a new place to live, and now Mike is a little more willing to move sooner rather than later.
Oh honey - not the coffee maker. I mean not showering for a few days, using the outside potty, that is survivable. But only HALF A POT OF COFFEE - that is unsurvivable (wink, wink). I hope this will be last the of the trials for you guys for a while. We're praying God leads your family to a wonderful house with great landlords!
