\"\"<\/a>
The Romans had pipe problems, too, and look what happened to them!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The current status:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The drain from the kitchen now … drains. \u00a0The cracked clean-out cap is replaced. The rotted-out cast iron bit running below it has been excavated, cut out, the standing water (!) cleaned, fixed up, covered with sand, and concreted over. \u00a0I rinsed off the massive amount of dishes from the CIO dinner party, and have the first of several loads running through the dishwasher. \u00a0All is well on that front. (As a special note, Fred from ARS Rescue Rooter of Aurora, the folks who did our last sewer line disaster<\/a>, did a bang-up professional job, soup-to-nuts.)<\/li>\n
  2. The carpet downstairs is still damp, and there are nascent mold issues. \u00a0Really, the carpet in that area needs to be replaced.<\/li>\n
  3. We replaced our garbage disposal with one that is (a) not 15 years old and is (b) more powerful.<\/li>\n
  4. The insurance company has been informed. \u00a0They will not pay for damage from an ongoing, unattended leak, but indications are they will probably pay for replacing the cast iron pipe (which was the, um, most pricey part of the whole soiree today). \u00a0Will they pay for the carpet, et al? \u00a0That remains to be seen, based on the judgment of what really happened, what damage may accrue if the carpet is not replaced, or whether they decide it’s worth it to replace that entire remaining length of pipe before more breaks are discovered (and the risk of house damage increases with it). \u00a0If not, we’ll need to figure out how to deal with that issue.<\/li>\n
  5. Many maximum mega-kudos to Margie who managed the whole affair from start to present. She freaking ROCKS, and I owe her far more than the champagne I just poured her.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So still a lot of longer-range work to deal with, but the immediate crisis is addressed, and that’s worth a hell of a lot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
