This is the unbelievably ridiculous sewerage plumbing situation we created for ourselves when we demolished the old bathroom that came with our house. We lived with it for a little while, hoping against hope that it would stay put and not fall over and shower nasties all over the place.
Thankfully it lasted long enough for us to create this flush-with-the-house-pole situation.
In order to make that possible, Tom and his brother attacked the slab of concrete at the base of that pole (left over from the old laundry under the house before we raised it).
That concrete all ended up in the front yard (as seen here).
They then dug a little trench to allow the pipe to sit as low as possible on its way to the sewerage hookup.
We thought it was hilarious that Allie immediately claimed the trench as her own.
We had some work to do to reroute the rest of the pipes that used to connect to the old ridiculous pipe.
That makes it look like it was me doing all the hard work.
It wasn't.
And after working into the night, we were left with this connecting to the kitchen...
And this connecting to the bathroom (and our new laundry)...
And the most important part, this connection to the sewerage pipe.
And it works! Thank goodness!
I'm so glad to have this now in our past, as something we can laugh about forevermore.
