The pipes that make water leave our house have completely failed. I thought I had one problem. Turns out we have four problems. This means no cooking that requires dishes.

No idea how this will all be fixed or if I will be totally screwed. It’s just a hair beyond my skill level but it’s way beyond my physical or financial ability. There is only so long I can spend in a crawl space after breaking my back a few years ago. But a friend gave us some money for dinner. A local Mexican place has a new appetizer. Deep fried pork belly with guacamole. I’d make this at home if I could.

Thanks for listening to me vent. Enjoy your dinner no matter what it is.

    Paper plates and plastic utensils. If you have a friend with a membership to one of those bulk stores, get them from there.

    If you don’t mind my asking: do you know how your plumbing is busted?

      I crawled under the house to see if I would be able to cut a pipe and snake out the main drain. When I did I discovered that water was running from pipes that had never been glued together and had separated from the backed up water weight of the clogged pipes.

    Man that sucks about the pipes. You got a GoFundMe or something that the community can help you out with?
