Living High on the Plumbing

Back when Henry the Plumber was engaged in the epic battle to re-plumb our entire house, he took a break part of the way through to take a vacation. A month-long vacation to New Zealand.

I called him a couple of days ago in hopes of getting him and his industrial pipe snake here to clear out the kitchen sink drain, which is operating at about 10% capacity and is OH MY GOD SO ANNOYING. He said he's about to leave for vacation, but he'd be happy to put us on his list for when he returns. From Japan. At the end of October.

I'm thinking the travel benefits alone make it worthwhile for Cubby to become a plumber when he grows up. Forget college--trade schools are where it's at.

amen I am pretty sure though I wouldn't choose New Zealand or Japan to vacation to though.

No more grease down the drain... :). You mean you don't do plumbing?
Remember you are paying his way to Japan after all. It might be worth a try to unclog it yourself. :)

Tell him, "Sure. You can have fun plumbing in the snow."

Geez. I feel like I should quit school and become a plumber. That teenage dream of backpacking through New Zealand might finally come true.
