\"shower<\/a><\/p>\n

At least a decade ago my shower drain started leaking into the basement. When I had some home repair guys here laying tile on my bathroom floor at least 8 years ago I asked them to fix it while they were here. They told me it couldn’t be fixed without removing & replacing the shower stall itself. Not gonna happen. So I simply put a large, old canner on the basement floor under the shower drain and moved on with my life.<\/p>\n

Now, since I’m trying to sell my house, this bothers me. I have to hope that no one comes to look at the house shortly after I’ve taken a shower. Not good.<\/p>\n

So I decided that I’d call my local plumber\/repairman guy. (Different than my local electrician\/builder\/general-fix-it repairman guy.) If he told me the same thing – that it couldn’t be fixed without removing the shower stall, I’d leave it, but I didn’t think that’d be the answer. Darrel’s a problem solver. A local guy who understands that there’s always a way to fix things.<\/p>\n

He came yesterday morning with his son and a man he thought would be helpful. They looked at the drain and immediately said it could be fixed without too much difficulty.<\/p>\n

They were right about it’s fixability but wrong about the ease of doing so. Still, including a trip to the store and to one of their homes to get some needed tools, they were done within two hours of initial arrival. <\/p>\n

Why did I wait 10 years to get this fixed? I don’t know, but I’m glad it’s done now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
