I told you on page one they were frozen you dumbass. Why do you ask if you aren't going to listen to your superiors?

I need a hobby

So....your DRAIN LINE is frozen?

Oh yes....that's really needs a plumber........

.....because boiling a pot of water and dumping it down the drain is too hard for your tiny brain to conceive.

How do people like you cross the street without getting hit?

Things in this thread that are sooooooo koooooot (^_^):
- the Blood Brother/star-crossed lover thing between youfist and EAGLES. awwww
- the verbal chest bump/high five/backwards baseball cap of guys calling other guys "dude". awwww
- the rise of the Toolchest Sisterhood and their incredibly sensible advice. You go grrlz!
- youfist's "Jeremiah Johnson" beard. rowr+awww combo bonus points!
- Equalizer reference. Edward Woodward RIP awwww.
- that dastardly COLD AIR that keeps blasting everyone in the face. ::shakes fist:: ooooo, we'll get you!
- the "small snake" jokes. tee hee.

Things in this thread that are BORING SNORING (>_<):
- all this home improvement and fluctuating house pricing talk. WHATEVAH (Z . Z)
- Florida ---> may be about time to Old Yeller that old bitch with a targetted nuclear blast. (X_X)

Things in this thread that make me go hmmmm (?_?):
- this curious picture, it's like a metallic wotsit, ain't it???

- why some pseudointellectual hasn't gone all pseudointellectual and posted the obvious, declaring youfist's situation to be truly "Kafkaesque," ignoring the fact that if it were indeed Kafkaesque our special little Florida-bound konfuzzled darling would be a six-legged thing about now and would be able to crawl inside the drainwork of his newly-installed white elephant and finally, *finally* see with his own peepers if he was battling a redheaded clog; a pipe that maybe needed to be thawed or unthawed or insulated or blown apart; or a litigious war of apparition with a mischievous plumber (no doubt moustachioed, amirite???).

- youfist in general WTF??? Cutiepie with curiousity, imagination and posts his address, yet seemingly running towards a preplanned life in a preplanned community which has been reanimated through the genetic manipulation of shavings of crusted smegma off Walt Disney's bigotted bowtie. You and your brave, long-suffering wife aren't even bogged down with kids yet ---> it should be gimp-masked, drug fueled debauchery 24/7 with kinky Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra roleplaying. Does Not Compute.

Le sigh, there was a time when I would've tracked you down and left you broken, nay SMASHED like an unsuspecting toilet, but mayhaps it's time to close this chapter. Time to go collar my llama, I guess. (;_;)

I found myself getting pulled deeper and deeper into that post...like a quest that I knew I had to complete...but feared completing as I didn't want it to be over so soon. It was brilliant, not in a Norman Mailer type of brilliance but more like a Vermeer painting...so much depth and perspective that makes you appreciate it on so many levels that it almost becomes unable to appreciate without the ability of abstract thought.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, the temps when to 38 yesterday and I came home to find the pipe defrosted and repaired. Weems (aka Capt. Obvious), I poured about 5 gallons of boiling water down + hair dryer.. over the past few days.

Aye, have had meetings at the route 10 location, the one that is 12.88 miles away from youfist's clogged pipes.

Omni tit, he has to have insulation and a vapour barrier under the plumbing! He has a frozen pipe because of it.

Can I suggest that you burn down your house to unthaw the pipe?

dude, I got the snake to the point where it simply would'nt move anymore and started to crank the augur handle...low-and-behold something caught....I pulled it up and I ofound chunks of ice ...like you would find in a slushie/ flavor ice.

frozen pipes confirmed.

Frozen water in a trap!! Youfist, it's good that you're going to have the place sold before next winter... since you'll be gone, you won't have to worry about doing the carpentry / enclosing work that's needed around that thing!! A freeze in a non-pressurized drainpipe...man.

"Congrats!!" on the problem resolving itself with some help from Mother Nature!!

that link was to a 4 bedroom house for $235k. how can anyone consider that overpriced?
seriously! the square footage was what? 3200? huge for just the 2 of us.
that same house went for over $400k a few years back.

in Celebration (a Disney community a few miles away), that house would still be in the high 3's...

this link is Celebration...which is awesome

I live close to there- small world. Celebration is a little too white-bread for me. If a black person so much as strolled into a store, he'd be cuffed and stuffed before he hit the first aisle.

thanks dude.

I did slap another insulation buffer on the bottom of the garage door...hopefully that keeps out the frigid air.

It was nice to get a solution to this problem...now I can go back to Modern Warfare 2 online instead of hairdryers and pots of boiling water when I get home from work

I shall reward myself with one of my signature home made pizzas on my pizza stone.
Creamy pesto sauce
meatballs
red onions
on a thin crust pizza.

thanks again for your advice and Mullet's too.

this is the greatest sauce ever. On sale at the local store for $1.00 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of Olive Oil...stirring constantly (medium heat) till a boil

seriously, when I have guests I hand out a menu from 'Fistie's kitchen' and this pizza gets top selection.

this is my bathroom

tiles starting to go on

far wall...instead of going with a stupid rack for your shampoo and soap, we built a tile 'cubby' in the wall

this is the tub that drain line froze. Under the faucet, you can see the 'cover plate' to the overflow pipe. I took that off to see the ice blockage.

I added pic's after being insipired by the 'where do you sleep' picture thread.

The room now is complete, except for new paint on the ceilings and walls before we put it up for sale.
