I’m so so incredibly sorry for your loss; I’m still grieving and hurting from losing my guy in March; I know the pain too well.

He was loved leaving this world and that’s what matters most.

I genuinely hope you heal how you need; you’re in my thoughts 💕

Its def a shit show :')

Thank you loads<333
IM HOPING we can just. get it done without having to reroute - and if we solve the clog...we can avoid cutting a hole in the window...

Crossy ❄️ @icefoxworks.bsky.social · 4d

We tried the vinegar/soda method but it didnt budge it either :')
We tried to briefly snake/auger it , and that didnt do much.

SO we're trying liquid heat, and then ill probably try the bladder again but for a longer time OTL

Crossy ❄️ @icefoxworks.bsky.social · 4d

WE have one spare bit of plexiglass LMAO

ill def do that - we were able to cut the window to size before with a scroll saw, so im hoping the drain pipe is as easy of a cut with the drill OTL

Crossy ❄️ @icefoxworks.bsky.social · 4d

we had a plumber come look and he said the only solution is going to be to demolish the concrete to get to the pipe and completely reroute the drain pipes outside of the house - BUT thats a 6k job we have no dream of paying :')

Crossy ❄️ @icefoxworks.bsky.social · 4d

That primary drain pipe is terra cotta, and 70+ years old, so its very breakable.

We dont know if the terra cotta extends under the concrete :')

We have tried a bladder to dislodge it, we're trying liquid heat today OTL

Crossy ❄️ @icefoxworks.bsky.social · 4d

ohboy loaded question LOL

we have a primary drain pipe that runs from our kitchen sink to under our basement floor(concrete).

We also have a steel drain pipe from our washing machine that goes into the ground.

both connect together under the concrete. THAT is where the clog is :')

Crossy ❄️ @icefoxworks.bsky.social · 4d

OO thank you for the tip OTL - that would have been such a nightmare :')

Crossy ❄️ @icefoxworks.bsky.social · 4d

To do list for today..
- install 2 windows
- repair a cut off valve to our water heater
- install new faucets into our bathroom
- sand a wall
- plaster a wall
- fix a toilet issue

AND brainstorm how to cut a drain line hole in a window, and unclog a very breakable pipe under concrete 😅

Boy do I feel that :c

I hope you’re okay; I’m always here for ya if you just need to vent 💜

Crossy ❄️ @icefoxworks.bsky.social · 4d

I guess the good news is a few things MIGHT get repaired tomorrow

We just can’t unclog our main drain pipe to the entire house because it would break the pipe and it’s going to cost 6k to reroute it lol

So we just can’t use a lot of water when we cook or do dishes

Crossy ❄️ @icefoxworks.bsky.social · 5d

if i could get enough to take just like. 2 months off having to rake in comms/work for bills. if i could pay like. 2 months of bills. even if i had to take a loan.

I could catch up to my queue and my life would be exponentially easier. but thats money that NO ONE has
