Cathy, long hair wouldn't be causing problems as drastic as yours I don't think. Lots of people have long hair and have working systems. You are having trouble with multiple places in your house, multiple drains. That says system problem to me. We had a problem in one house where the system was too small. But we weren't overusing it, it just couldn't handle the liquid. High water table in your area could be a factor too. Nowhere for the water to drain to.
I'm glad you have plastic pipes. I watched a fix-the-old-house show this morning where they took out cast iron in the yard to the drain but they had already put new flooring in the house, so all that cast iron is still in the house under the new floor. I hope they replaced ALL your piping. I can't imagine how you're managing. Hoping for an easy solution for you and an inexpensive one too.
I am very down in the dumps today. Could kinda feel it coming on. I think its all the work facing us.
And my house is "getting away from me" again. DH was talking about getting something to work on the grout joints here in the kitchen...and I just about lost it. What he really needs to do is pick up his messes around here, hang up his clothes, do stuff that really makes a huge difference every day. Maybe fix my desk light so I don't get blistered fingers turning it off.
I have started working in the kitchen. 3 drawers emptied and sorted and washed out. And I'm working on the tip-out under the sink, bleaching the white plastic trays now. Waiting on the rubber mats for the one drawer to dry.
We've been in this house as long as we were in the last house, and this was the time I had to redo a lot of stuff, a lot of paint touch up, cabinet work, and not a lot of maintenance work gets done around here. No time for much of that. I know this is too much house for me to keep up just everyday stuff with all the other stuff I have to do. Long list of things needing done.
I'm going to make 2 pies to take to group tomorrow night, but after I finish some of this work and S2S.
Dee, maybe DSiL will be more mindful of the messes he leaves around?? One can only hope!
