(At The Wine Store) Chris said, "How much do I owe you for that wine?" Scott responded, "Nothing. You're gonna snake my drain later." That conversation needed some explaining to the bewildered cashier. But, the bottle of wine was more than necessary for the adventure that was about to ensue.
Five minutes before Chris and Jill were to arrive at our house to pick us up to go see The Bourne Ultimatum, Scott noticed a horrendous sewage smell coming from our guest bathroom. He invited Jonnett in to investigate, as he could not find the cause. With nose plugged, Jonnett looked around, and much to her dismay, she pulled back the shower curtain only to find that the tub was the culprit. After a few minutes of disbelief, we realized that our tub was full of junk from our garbage disposal. We had a clog somewhere, and a bad one at that. Doorbell rings, and little did Chris and Jill know that they were in for a long evening!
But, thank God for Chris and Jill, and their many suggestions. After a bottle of Drano and a plunger had failed, they made the trip with us to Lowe's to pick up a 20 ft. snake. They even provided moral support as Scott crawled under the house to figure out how the pipes are connected. The snake worked after a few tries, and with the help of our new Memphis friends, we managed to avoid a rather sizable plumbing bill. Whew!
