Another plumbing job

A couple weekends ago, we had another plumbing issue at our house.  The garbage disposal decided to stop working.  I immediately came inside from playing in the backyard to help Dad solve the issue.  (Mom says to ignore the smudges and dirty paw prints on the glass.)

I had to help Dad all by myself because Steve was busy helping Mom with the laundry.

Dad and I discussed whether he had done that thing to unjam the disposal and he had and it still wouldn't work.  

The disposal looked pretty old and finally Dad and I decided that we needed to go to Lowe's and get a new one.  Once we got back, I supervised Dad while he installed it.  Steve took a break from the laundry to come help.

Here's the new disposal all installed.  Doesn't that look better?  It works better too.Another plumbing emergency solved by the S&K Plumbing Team!

What happens when you don't use professionals

Here's a picture of our bathroom now.

Yeah, that's right, there is no flooring in half of the bathroom.  Once Dad got the leaky toilet out, he discovered that the seal between the toilet and the pipe that goes out of the house had been leaking and had ruined the flooring under the toilet and there was water puddled under the floor for a lot further radius around the toilet.  So there was no other option but to take out the flooring.

Dad claims that the flooring would have been messed up even if he had used our professional canine plumbing services.  We disagree and say that it's all his fault.  We could have surely done something to stop it.

Look, the humans think they are so smart.  They put the rug down.  Oh yeah, we can't even tell there is flooring missing now.

Next time, hire the S&K Plumbing Service!

Here's how our day went yesterday.

Dad: $%&%##@

Steve: Hi Dad, I'm Steve!

Kat: And I'm Kat!

Steve and Kat: We're from S&K's Plumbing Repair.  What seems to be the problem?

Dad: The toilet is leaking.

Steve: Not a problem!  I brought all my tools.

Kat: And just let me take a look over here.

Kat: Well I can see right here that the toilet is leaking from the bottom.

Steve: Look!  This bolt is broken.  Let me give you a tool to remove it.

Dad: This bathroom isn't big enough for the three of us, so why don't you let me handle it?

Kat: Fine!  I can tell when I'm not wanted.  Let's go, Steve!

Steve: Grrr...

In our next post, we will tell you what happens when humans try to fix things without the help of canine professionals.
