The plumber just left --- to the tune of $242. Things were badly backed up (if ya know what I mean)
I'm so mad at myself! On Sunday we ran out of TP, and I just went to the RiteAid across the street from us because I didn't feel like getting into the car and driving to the store. I usually use Scott because I know its so much better for older pipes (ours aren't just old, they're geriatric!), but the price was $1 for a single roll... highway robbery!!! There was a sale on Cottonelle (or was it Charmin?) Whichever, I bought it because it was 4 double rolls for $2. WELL... things started backing up Tuesday morn. Why? Because of the @$%# Cottenelle/Charmin! In my little tirade of not spending the $1 for a roll of the stuff I KNOW is good for our pipes, I bought the other stuff, which cost me hundreds of dollars!!! NEVER will do that again!
Folks, if you have older pipes, PLEASE never ever buy the comforting, soft TP. But the cheap scratchy Scott. There's a reason!
But... the plumber was AWESOME. Gave us a $50 discount because he liked my cats. He has THIRTY TWO of his own!!! I knew having a bunch of cats was worth something.
