We had our first homeowners fiasco this weekend. To make a long and nasty story short the roots from the gorgeous tree in our front yard penetrated our pipes and clogged our drains. Anytime we washed our clothes, or ran our dishwasher, or even flushed the toilet the water would drain into the tub. NOT GOOD!! Fortunately I'm married to a plumber who has connections. Rich, from the shop, brought out some heavy equipment and helped Jonathan clean the pipes. Bad news is they made a pregnant lady go a day and a half without a working bathroom. Good news is they fixed the problem and with proper maintenance it shouldn't be a problem. The picture is of Rich where my toilet should be and the big ball of roots that they just pulled out of the pipes.

We just had the same problem two weeks ago...hopefully you are not too sensitive to smells right now. Hopefully that will be the last of it!
