whitereflectionAnd so it gets more interesting. >_> Seems the original owner of the home, when doing various improvements and basement/bathroom finishing, he sealed off the main line stack behind dry wall. Behind dry wall. >< So thus the plumber has to run this cable again through the roof vent stack--but unlike the snaking Friday, this requires two people. And the second person is out here at $45 per *half hour*.
They've been at it a bit. Looks like one other person from the company is here, but I don't think we're paying for him (and he's got his son with). So there's four total people out there, and they're getting root crud, but so far progress is slow. As it is they think they broke through a clump, but then it plugged up again when they pulled out the clearing cable. It may be improving some, but they're having to run a camera cable down to see if it's making any difference and how bad the problem is really. Still don't know whether it's going to be the (estimate changed to) $700-800ish job, or that $1600-1800 one I mentioned earlier.
Honestly I shouldn't always focus on the pricing of things like these. But it's what's on my mind, so what I write out.
And am having to shift around where Bebop is shut away during feeding times. Seems he's ruined both the bathmats, and yes, I was just *thrilled* to discover that this am when freaking out about the plumbing thing. But with taking down the laundry hang-up line and collapsing the rack when not in use, we can shut him in that back storage room with one of the litterboxes. Fecking cats. They've been the worst possible pills about this whole feeding separately thing--it just gets worse and worse. As it is, Tink is still bad about stealing Crystal's food, and now Missy's started in on it too. Maybe I need to toss Tink in the spare bedroom with her food and a litterbox...then with Bebop already shut away, I'd just have to keep an eye on Crystal and Missy (who is not so much a food ninja, just a sometimes one). I dunno. I dunno why I even ramble about it. Just kinda thinking out loud. You lucky people, you.
