The Sump Pump took a Dump - Part Duex

Guess what? Not an easy fix. 4 days of trying to get our plumber friend over and after 6 calls yesterday from Frank, he finally got back to us. We were at Menard’s and he said he was sending his partner and our other friend; they were to be there in about 90 minutes. We got home within that 90 minutes and they still weren’t there. I called and they said they would be there in another hour. Great, right in the middle of our show’s season finale and we don’t have DVR/TiVo. So they come, all they were going to do was install a new battery and make sure the sump pump was working right.

TWO AND A HALF HOURS later and they tell us the sump pump backup is dead. We need a new one and it will be $250-500. Awesome! He cannot make it back until Saturday or Sunday. I am praying for Saturday because Sunday is our anniversary and I am going to be pretty pissed off if we have to wait for him all day and miss our dinner reservations at the Melting Pot! I told is partner, please let him know that Sunday is our anniversary and we have dinner reservations so if he could come earlier that will be great.

Let’s hope this all goes off without a hitch.
