jeriendhalThis afternoon was mostly consumed with dealing with the ongoing saga of my toliet. With the gratefully appreciated help of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jvowles I managed to pry up the jammed toliet and run the pipe snake down, to try and clear the jam I thought was way down in the pipes. Before we set the new seal on the bottom of the seat, we decided to play it safe and run the snake up though the bottom of the toilet's pipes just to be certain. Which I'm very glad we did.
Folks, somehow Thomas managed, in a moment of unsupervised time, to flush an entire chicken breast down the toilet, where it unsurprisingly got thoroughly jammed. I knew the powder room was smelling a bit funky, but I'd passed that off as being the result of stagnant, water. No such luck. That thing had been in there for two weeks and when I finally pulled it out both Jim and I nearly gagged. I can laugh about it, because thanks to Jim I managed to avoid paying $250.00 to a plumber to locate the problem and fix the seal. As it was it only cost me $2.50 for the new seal and a bit of time.
But I am going to have to find a way to keep Tom out of there until we can get him pass this particular experimental stage... O_O
BTW Jim, I owe you a dinner. Name the time and place.
