Truth! May times I have enjoyed the Joys of Home Ownership while other times I have experienced the “Joys” of home ownership.
No doubt. Here’s my latest “joy” of home ownership. It’s the last piece of cast iron drain lines I hope. My kitchen sink has been draining into my crawl space for who knows how long, it’s completely rusted through. I have a guy coming in a couple days to replace it with ABS. Then I have some air movers I’m gonna borrow to remove the moisture. Sucks. Doing without a kitchen sink for a few days now.

I had to replace a section of cast iron as well, only problem is it was buried under my concrete basement floor and ran directly under my furnace. Said screw it and ran PVC overhead to another stand pipe down stream and capped the pipe off. Dig out a 18” x 6’ section of my floor at first only to find it was bad under the furnace. Dug up a 18x18 section by the other stand pipe to cut off and cap the abandoned section. My problem was the bad section also handled my 2nd floor bathroom so I had roughly 60 gallons of literal crap I had to dig out of the trench before I filled it back in and put in new concrete.

Yech. Yes, I am thankful it’s only a kitchen sink that mainly saw water and no poop. Luckily I never was one to run food through the disposal, my ex did though years ago even though I told her not to. One day I came home from work and she said the kitchen sink was plugged up. I asked if she was using the disposal again and she said no. I ended up on the roof, using a garden hose to try to flush the line by running the hose down through the vent pipe. I was looking down the vent pipe so I could see if water was filling it up. All of a sudden a ton of apple peels came flying up the vent pipe and shot out all over my face and all over the roof. I found out she had been peeling a bunch of apples to bake pies with and can and had run the peels through the disposal instead of throwing them in the trash. I guess she just thought the disposal made them disappear. Notice I said she is my ex.
