Today the hovel has no bathroom. It's lots of fun!

Zion woke me up before he left for work this morning to tell me that we can't use the bathroom today. Something is wrong with the entire plumbing situation (shock-shock!) and the guys didn't know about it until this morning when they had to leave for work. The really awesome thing about it all is that we don't even have a car to go anywhere with(Zion and I haven't gotten our cars switched over to AZ plates yet, and our Ohio plates have expired), so I guess we will be holding it all day. =)

P.S. This house stinks!!!





UPDATE:
1:30 p.m.
Becca, Brandon and I just got back from the school/church down the road. We couldn't hold it any longer and the guys won't be back till 5ish. We'll keep you posted. =)

6:04 p.m.
Zion, Becca and I just got back from Office Max, Zion took Becca and I to the bathroom as soon as he got home from work while Jariah worked on the plumbing situation. (Brandon was napping...) So far the guys aren't having much luck, I believe they are going to go rent a snake and see how it all comes out. =)

"It works now", well, as much as it ever has...

I seriously doubt that Brandon had anything to do with it, because we always close the door behind us and he very rarely even gets in there, except with Becca at night to brush his teeth.

It's not that Jariah thinks it's impossible for it to be Brandon's fault, it's just that we all know the plumbing here is pathetic and it most likely has been building up over time and clogged the drain.

my suggestion is watch your wording on how the snake will help you see how it all comes out that is just gross

Jeshanah said...

uhh, duh! That's why I said it like that, it's funny!! (They say that on Elmos Potty Time video that I bought for Brandon... it's very entertaining. The video was brought to us by the letter "p" and the number "2"... at least that's what elmo says at the end of it.)I might need to get out more...

She's quoting Elmo's Potty Time video, that's just sad... I don't even do that!

Miguel threw a toothbrush down the toilet flushed it himself and clogged the toilet at my mother-in-law's multi-million dollar house in Hillsborough.

I guess that makes her house a hovel now.

Miguel is talented that way, he doesn't need an unsuspecting person to flush it for him, he does it himself.

My favorite part of Gabriel's Potty Video was the song:

"It it feels like a push

or a squeeze

just below your belly

and above your knees

It's your body telling yoooou

that it's time to goooo!!"


That song rocks!!

I sell Potty DVDs at the store, but, alas, I've never had the opportunity to watch one. They sound wonderful!

HEY JEshanah Guesse what !
i'm comeing out to Az to live..

Jeshanah said...

I know that the toilets can get clogged anywhere, it's happened to Zion and I before at our old place... there was a root growing into our drain pipes and created a huge mess, and it took days to get it all straightened up. It was a real pain, but, thankfully, I still worked at the Holiday Inn, so Zion and I just crashed there for the duration of the problem.

Ember, don't do it, man!!!

So we're all coming to Arizona after all. Flying into Phoenix very late on February 15th and flying out Feb 22nd.

Jeshanah said...

You should really come in March, too!!!!

Israel said...

Ummmm, Thanks! But Nooooo...

Nothing personal it's just that some people have these things called JOBS!!

Others work for annoying people who are constantly demanding results, those people are known as CLIENTS!!

If you ignore your clients long enough eventually they fire you which makes it hard to earn something called MONEY!!

Without money it is impossible to do things like rent snakes when your toilet clogs.

So then your house fills with raw sewage and after a couple of months of this kind of living you start thinking, "This is no way to live, I'd probably even rather live in OHIO!!"

Then what happens if you really do end up moving to OHIO? Eventually you end up living on a pile of frozen sewage, and nobody, but nobody wants that...

Hully said...

I will say this, if I had to choose, I'd rather stand on frozen sewage than the non-frozen kind.

Jeshanah said...

no doubt, John!! Good point.

Israel said...

I vote for not frozen, cuz it's easier to keep your footing and at least you won't fall on your face...

Sharla said...

Jeshanah PLEASE! Start another post about something other than the bathroom!! This is getting SO GROSS!

Jeshanah said...

My apologies for all the toilet talk, nothing of interest has happened since the bathroom incident. =)
