Our home

What Santa gave the Nguyen's in 2010 was new plumbing.

It started off with a couple of blocks down the toilet....which in turn backed up all the toilets in the house. So the dreaded plumbing works begins....

At first it was a novelty peeing in Hayden's porter potty.... But that was short lived. We took a lot of trips to the store to buy gas or groceries (while using their toilets of course) until our plumber could get out to the house on the weekend.

After plucking out parts of the deck and lots of digging by a crew of 5...they replaced our main sewer line and pushed Hayden's toys (and prob lots of crap... No pun intended) through. I'm sure it wasn't Hayden's block that damaged the plumbing. We had put it off for some time in fact. It was just the straw that broke the camels back.

Part of the territory with a 70 year old home...which we actually love.. And still love.

  1. That's so "shitty" that you guys had to go through that. I have always, always said, "The toilet is the best invention! Better than TV!)

  2. I love your house too! And now you don't have to worry about plumbing for a long time...and can focus on something more fun, like the treehouse!!
