Those dreams of mine...
I woke up, realizing where more of the drainage problems were occuring, and why the scale built up in the first place.
The sewage was backed up at the street. It all makes so much sense now:
Why the drains often burped when draining. I snaked the sewage at the front access.
Worked like a charm!
The neighbors who gave us Rusty (who was run over in September) brought as sweet present,
A 6 week old Pomeranian puppy!!! This little guy is smarter than any dog I've ever owned. He figured out the doggie door in the first two hours. He's got the idea of using the bathroom on some newspaper we spread out, and is close to being paper trained. AND, I gave him a nylon rope with a knot tied on both ends...he untied the ends and tied a knot in the middle!
