This month has been a rough one house wise. We’ve had to replace all the supply lines. It is silly how bad the pressure was before. That also uncovered that there is a crack in the main stack, so that needs replaced.
The basement flooded the same time, it was awful. It was supposed to be jetted & camera sent down after that, but there was some internal office issue. Well, it happened again a few weeks after that, thankfully, from the washing machine this time. Just found out, after the jetting, that we need to have the mainline replaced. It is over 100’ that cuts diagonal across the front yard and under the double driveway. Thicker tree roots at every joint. Waiting to see if that will be approved. Not looking forward to the process there, ready to have the basement never flood again though.
I’ve never been so thankful for insurance, without it, I wouldn’t be sleeping. Though this isn’t exactly what I had in mind when I said I needed to get the house in order.

4speedy that is quite a day. I hope things look up for your pup from here. Also I'm sassy enough that I would've looked at the receptionist and been like, what? Do you want to see them too? 😂😝

clucky fingers crossed for a approval and the least destructive replacement possible!

Plumber is going to have to call and see what our coverage is. The agent I spoke with said the main stack is a “fixture” and not covered. Which is … odd. I may have cried to the office manager when I relayed what they told me. Thankfully she understood because she was caught up on all the work orders they had open & completed in the last few weeks. She also mentioned her early 1900 home woes in solidarity.
DS3’s birthday is coming up and he wants to have a few friends over. NBD but we have a bathroom without a giant chunk of wall. At this point, I may have to put up a shower curtain to cover it.

We're on a trip to MN. And of course, the serpentine belt fell off of our car when we got here.

It’s been a week. DD1 seems to be doing ok with middle school but I feel like DD2 is struggling with Kindergarten. She never did preschool and now I’m feeling real guilty about that.
This was our first 5 day week at work. We had a child transfer from another class and then was expecting another new one on Thursday but he he didn’t show up. I got scratched by a little girl that broke skin almost from wrist to elbow. The teacher is out on paternity leave and the other para that is covering is struggling.
My sister, BIL and 3 month old nephew have Covid so they can’t attend our parents 50th anniversary party today.
Yesterday was my birthday but my H forgot. He had bought me a few gifts last week so he knew it was coming but forgot the actuall day. He and DD1 left for the bus stop with neither saying anything. I guess DD realized while at school so when she came home she put up some decorations for me. (It’s what I usually do for them). I know he felt bad when he came home and tried to make it up to me last night with takeout from one of my favorite places. I know I’m an adult so it shouldn’t bother me but it did.
Sounds like everyone is having a rough September so hugs to all! ❤️

Happy Birthday klw That does suck they forgot, I hope you can joke about it later. One year MH didn't get me a cake and I'm still a little salty about it but it's mostly a joke at this point

Update for those interested:
My dog came home from the hospital late this afternoon. She got a lot worse before she got better. Her chest continued to swell quite a bit after we first got her to the vet and she lost a lot of blood. She wasn’t bleeding internally, thankfully, the blood was pooling underneath the skin to the point that she had a giant bubble of blood on her chest. She also had a small pneumothorax. She had to have a blood transfusion the first night, which she had a bad reaction to. The vet said in 30 years, she had never seen a dog have a reaction to a transfusion like that. So that required epi. Later in the evening, her chest swelled so much that it compressed her heart and she started having long runs where she was missing heart beats, so they put her on more meds to regulate that. She has been on cardiac monitoring for several days. The hospital has a vet on site 24/7, but one vet even told me the other vets were all watching Eva’s monitors from home because they were all so vested in her outcome. She’s totally doped up on pain meds, including a fentanyl patch, which we’re supposed to avoid touching, except with gloves. Everyone who has looked at Eva agrees she must have startled a deer sleeping in our yard and she must have been kicked in the chest. The vets all say there is really nothing else that could have hit her with enough force to cause that much damage. We are so lucky she doesn’t have any broken bones and wasn’t gored by antlers. The vet said dogs rarely survive a deer kick, so she’s our one in a million dog.

klw happy belated. Sending hugs ❤️❤️I’m sorry. athn64 I hope everything sorted!! Thankfully it was an easy fix. The belt tensioner was broken so it and the belt had to be replaced, and it was done this morning. Not a fun bill to have to pay while on a trip, but at least not a long wait either.

4speedy wow about your dog kicked by a deer? My dog many many years ago got kicked by one of my horses. He just had bruised and slight cracked ribs according to vet so we went about our way and he stopped running thru horse stalls to grab apples and carrots as pieces fell out of the horses mouth. But then he kept having a wound open up right above the ribs and he ended up having a small piece of rib/tissue pushed into his chest cavity with super slow growing pseudomonis bacteria growinf on it. That took a lot of strong antibiotics to kill off. Hope your pup stays clear of deer?!

klw my dh tends to forget my birthday. HE says He's hoping if he forgets mine I'll forget his cause he's getting old! But it's cause he remembers to get cards and buys gift or Something and then forgets where he puts them and then takes all day to find them. Or all month. He never makes or orders a cake tho. Amazingly enough these guys do love and care for us. They just screw up things like this. Hope your dh made it up to you and isn't quite as much of a mess up as my dh is. It sucks to feel forgotten though. Hope you celebrated yourself somehow?

He had ordered a few gifts because he knew it was coming just forgot the actual day. I mentioned that I wanted a desk calendar and that I needed a new bundt pan. He listened and ordered them so that was very thoughtful. I was surprised when I opened them. can tell he felt bad. ❤️
