How i spent my 1st week of summer vacation....

Pics are documented on myspace "Auntiekackie" More or less documenting filth and some of the damage so far from the previous renters.

anyway....

I have certainly been in my element all week…. It’s been everything I am about. This moving business to Austin has become a totally house rehab. I was there last weekend to work on more painting prep minor

Tree

There's an Australian comic strip called Footrot Flats with a character called Cooch. He has a tree growing in the middle of the house, been there for years, uses it to hang laundry on and hang his hammock from. He also climbs it when the neighbor's hogs rampage through his house. Apparently for him it's a wonderful multi-use piece of decor. :-)

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH! I loooooooove your interior decoration! everyone should have a tree in thier basement.

Where the heck is Austin/yer digs anyway? I have some hostas and can snag some day lilies. I also went a little nuts on bulb buying.

Hi, my name is Renee and I like bulbs. Bulbs on sale. For more dirt than I have.

As far as the drain clog, describe it. Is it a floor drain? Clogged with what, mystery crap? Is it cloged at the top is further in? If it's a floor drain with some drainage after you fill it a bit with water, that's the larger roots of the interior decoration. That takes the pros with a Big John and a cutter blade. there could be other damage if it is tree roots.

If it's a standard drain, try running a snake attachemnt for a regular drill.

When you find a sink you like and it's up here, tell me where and possibly I can go get it. Since I have a car that runs now....

the drain is in an old basement shower At 1st i thought it was a tiny cistern. Low and behold the previous tenants cats used it as a litter box. Thanks to Darnele it was cleaned out. But alas... its clogged.... No I am NOT snaking it out myself. YUK a plumber can do it and the owner can pay for it.
