Teddy made a huge blunder this year just before the 'East Coast Baker's' Christmas meal was ready. It hadn't even been served, eaten or cleaned up yet when he plugged up the kitchen sink!
Though he was very remorseful, the repercussions have been amazing. First of all, Danielle and Nancy did a lot of the dishes in the tiny sunroom bar sink. But we saved the bulk of them until the next day, (in hopes that the plumbing would be fixed relatively quickly). It ended up, though, at around noon, that two big boxes of dirty dishes got brought to sweet neighbor Jane's house (where the water was running).
Meanwhile, Thomas' good friend Brett had come over and he told us that it was possible to unclog a kitchen sink by using a garden hose. He was then kind enough to stay around to supervise and to hold the stopper over one sink, while Ruth helped Teddy with the hose and Thomas manned the spiggot in the back garden.
FINALLY we had success and a free sink! (As well as clean dishes from across the street!)
Teddy, you are forgiven but you'd better thank Plumber Ken and his entourage.
