Alas, no shit geyser...

...but also in the Fun Home-Ownership Department, some bees have decided to start building a hive on our garage wall.

Good times, yo.

Lovely! Because fecal matter problems are always enhanced with a concurrent insect problem. :~(

In related news, I found a spider web (with large egg) behind our downstairs toilet, which had backed up & overflowed. The litterbox we keep in that bathroom was also, er, 'affected' (so to speak). Our cat notified us of this problem by peeing on the bed...

*sigh*

I'm just glad I can do laundry again. So that's what I've been doing all day... laundry, laundry, laundry. Turns out the insects in question are paper wasps, not bees, so Zip is going to take care of them tonight. (He's had experience with these little critters, unfortunately.)

Oh man... you had plumbing problems and spiders? That is truly of the suck. And cat pee in the bed?

*shudders*

So does this mean Mr. Jet Truck successfully cleared out your pipes, so to speak? As for bees? Get Mr. Exterminator in now, before they can successfully establish a bee-chhead. *g* ::is skeered of bees::

Well... the pipes are running, but there's a good chance that we still either have tree roots or that the line is damaged. ::cries:: Needless to say, I'm really hoping it's the former. We should find out on Wednesday when the camera guys come out to take a look-see...

If it's just roots, Mr. Jet Truck will come back out and get rid of them (for free, even)... he would have done it today, but for some reason he can't with the equipment he has, unless he knows where they are. Plus, no way to know without looking whether it's roots or a damaged line.

(And it turns out we've got paper wasps, not bees. Zip's dealing with them later tonight.)

So that's Zip's new nickname. AHEM.

"Mr. Jet Truck, that's my name, that name again's Mr. Jet Truck!"
