Home Sweet Simple Home


Plumbing Update

11:43 AM, 2006-Jan-20 .. 0 comments .. Link

Thanks so much to everyone who gave suggestions for my clogged  toilet problem. Wouldn't you know it- when my husband got home from work and I told him about the toilet (water right up to the rim) well- he went to check it and it was fine! It seems during the day the water receeded and all was well. Ug! I don't think this is the end of the saga. I was finally able to find a "liquid plumber" like substance that would work on toilets- but it's $20! I thought that was bit steep. My hubby isn't sure that will work and is wondering if we should just put the $20 bucks towards a new toilet. Hmmm.

I will try the baking soda and vinegar recipe today and see if I can't keep it "limping" along until I've got enough money saved for a new toilet. Boy- that wasn't on my wishlist! But, in the grand scheme of things it's better than Little Orchard Homestead's water problem. God knows how much I can handle- and a clogged toilet is just about it for this week. [things have gotten a bit "stressy" since my wonderful Monday].

The Wagner Clan

My Husband (DH)-
Mr. Steady

My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.

DD11- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.

DD8- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added spice of flavor to our family.

DS4- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He likes to think he's in charge and often is! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
