Nonno saves the day!!!

Nonno has averted our second housing disaster within two weeks!!! Last week he came out and diagnosed our 'drain-field' issues with professional investigative sleuthing skills, and this week fixed another incident that was threatening to flood our basement, yet again.


Last week we had a septic/drainfield guy and Nonno come out to diagnose why nothing was draining into our dranfield. It was just creating a pond in our yard every time we took a shower. Without dad here to diagnose the issue and determination to uncover the entire septic tank and find the second door, we would be digging up our entire front yard right now and 12k would be down the drain (field).

Post-traumatic Septic/ Drainfield.. all fixed!!!

And today, after picking up a sea monkey kit at the store, I read the directions that specified the need for purified water, so I decided to go down to the basement to find the Brita pitcher. When I got down there, I found a fountain spraying out of a pipe in the corner of the basement, and the floor about 3" of goopy, puddled mud.


I immediately called John and my Dad and they both rushed over here as fast as was legal. (Of course, this would happen the day before we are to have Willow's birthday party) Within two hours and a trip to Lowe's everything is back to normal. I don't know what we would do without ya Dad!!


Here is Juneau doing his very best to keep Nonno from leaving the premises!!! This is a ritual around here. He loves his Nonno. and so do we!!! We cannot thank you enough.
