Where do we go from here?

So, if the Jet Truck can't fix the problem, we don't pay for it. Which is good.

But then it means our problem won't be solved. Which is bad.

I'm guessing next they try a small tactical nuke?

Holy...uh...cow.

Does that mean it's becoming more likely to be a city problem, not a Sis-Zip problem?

[ghoulsis.livejournal.com]

I really hope it's the city's problem. There's just no way to know yet. I think... they're going to run a camera down there at some point, to see if they can figure out what's going on? Not sure on that now.

Just, you know, if you ride it out in your underground (but away from the plumbing) shelter, don't freak out and think there's been a nuclear apocalypse and stay down there for 30 years. :)

That depends. Am I in the bunker with Brendan Fraser? 'Cause I might be willing to stay down there for a while, if that's the case...

[lillassea.livejournal.com]

Brendan Fraser?

Er, is there room for me?

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Ah. Very good question. That might make a difference, especially if he can swing dance.

Nope! Next, they bring in this guy:

This is amusing me far more than it should. ANd I've gotten more use out of the Poop icon than I have in God knows how long.

[ghoulsis.livejournal.com]

You know, I'm truly glad that this is amusing everyone (ourselves included), because really? Pain like this should be shared.

i know it's NOT funny, but it sure sounds like it from where i'm standing... erm... sitting. :)

last time i had plumbing-related probs the entire toilet exploded, and i had to mop up about 2 inches of water from the floor of a Really Big Bathroom... NOT fun...

i hope they'll fix it. and i hope you won't have to pay for it. :)

Oh, we'll be paying for something, no matter what. Already have, in fact. The issue becomes, is the underlying problem on our property, or not?

I'm hoping the jet truck can blow whatever this is out of the line. At that point, I guess they run the camera down there to see if there's damage to the line (requiring a replacement) or what. In any event, we're probably looking at several thousand dollars (at least). Which, I guess it goes without saying, we don't have.

mkay... plumbing in general... funny! your plumbing related problem, anything but that. that's scary, actually... especially since it's most likely not your fault the thing is busted.

i hope they'll fix it soon. *crossing fingers*

It's most definitely not our fault. The guy yesterday told us that a problem like this takes a long time to develop, and was here before we bought the house. He even suggested that we contact a lawyer to go after the previous owners for not disclosing the problem (which they're required to do by law)... problem is, we can't prove that they knew anything about it. So going to court is pointless. It's our problem now.

I hope the jet truck gets here today. Even if they can't get it fixed today, I'd at least like to know how much longer this might drag on.
