There's poop in my basement.

[raynes]

Our sewer has backed up. There are floaters.

And if course our water damage deductible is $2000.

We had a contractor out to take a look today and he says that there is $2000 worth of work, but its all stuff we'd normally do ourselves, so we're feeling like its not even worth it to submit a claim. They won't even take care of clearing the drain.

So, it's off to Home Depot to rent a power auger and buy some rubber boots.

Can someone just make it magically go away?

Well crap! Good luck!

[nannerl]

Oh shit! :-|

So sad for you, so many poop jokes.

It makes me feel shitty to make jokes about your crappy situation.

[carawestt]

Ew I'm sorry!

[mrsjaymay]

Oh yuck! Sorry you have to deal with that.

[raynes]

And of course my H I'd just sitting her playing Minecraft instead if getting stuff done.

Awesome!!!!!!!

[Dorothy Zbornak]

Minecraft?

Oh wait ... I thought you meant minesweeper. Anyway, there are turd barges docking in your basement. Dude needs to get off his ass!

[ruby412]

Yuck, yuck, yuck!

If we were texting on iPhones, I'd send you the smiling poo emoji.

What a bunch of crap! Tell him to get that shit cleaned up!

[thedahliharpa]

That is awful! They are your floaters though right? Not your neighbor's?

[spaghetticat]

Oh God. Somehow the thought of it being your neighbor's poop just made it so much worse. I hope it's not too painful for you guys.

[raynes]

Thankfully () it's just our poop.

Being a nearly 30 year old man, my H is clearly incapable of going to Home Depot by himself, so he had to wait until Owen woke up from his nap so we could all go together.

Bonus, I said that if that was the case we were getting Five Guys for dinner, which was delicious.

[rxbeth]

That sucks! Is your basement unfinished? Is anything ruined?

[raynes]

Mostly unfinished. Nothing major is ruined, I don't think. Thankfully all of Derek's tools were off the ground. All the foam mats in my gym are garbage though.

[rxbeth]

Boo to ruined foam mats! One of my worst home fears is flooding or sewage in the basement. Especially since it is finished in our new house. I try to make sure anything stored under our stairs is raised off the ground. My Dad is a plumber so he came and fixed out sump pump so that we have a back up if the power goes out. Not a battery back up but something different that was more expensive but he said was better.

Good luck with the clean up!
