So, my fantastic sister in law (Mandy...Scott's wife) was cooking at our house and she made some yummy mashed potatoes. Can you guess what she did? Yep....she put all the peels down the drain and can you guess what happened next. I bet you can.... The disposal would turn around and around but as soon as we turned the disposal off the water would come flooding back into the sink. It was a couple days before we could figure out how to fix it. I called my friend Nattalie (her hubby is a plumber) and he said to take apart the pipes under the sink and see if the peels were caught in the pipe. So we took his advice but since we are not plumbers we didn't know what to expect. We had a tiny towel.....yep....another stupid thing!! As soon as he unhooked the pipes.....Ahhhhhhhhhhh water started flooding onto the cupboard and the floor. Keep in mind we just got wood floors put in. They were brand new and we are all ready breaking them in by flooding the kitchen. We quickly started throwing towels everywhere!!! We finally got it cleaned up and we still couldn't fix the problem. So at a later date we became more prepaired and put a very Large bucket under the pipes and began to take them apart somemore. This time we fixed the problem. YUCK!! I dry heaved as the dirty, stinky water flooded into the bucket and Jay made me wash out the pipes that had mold infested potato peels stuck in them. Mandy felt really bad. Of course we won't stop teasing her!! That's what family is for! Later I will put a picture on the blog of my new floors. Technically, they aren't finished yet. They forgot to do a spot. Jason was home and didn't notice. I guess you can't expect a man to review a job before he pays them the final check. Some advice....always have the wife check it out before you give the company the rest of the money. Haha!!! I keep teasing my hubby about it. When I get a chance I will post a picture.
