You call the plumber to fix the shower and the toilet. In the meantime, since he's there, you show him a small leak in the bidet. In the meantime, as he investigates, he realizes the septic tank has a problem (it's probably full). So I call the specialized company. They arrive. In the meantime, as they investigate, they say that what I thought was the tank is just a connecting pipe and, as they investigate, they discover that our septic tank hasn't been emptied for decades. And, as they investigate, they can't find the cover because the tank is probably extremely deep, judging by its outlet pipe, and enormous. As they investigate, they discover that the beautiful hydrangeas nearby have broken through the pipes and ruined the grease trap. So, they need to investigate thoroughly, digging up the driveway AGAIN for meters. Hoping to find the cover, hoping the damage isn't too severe. Hoping that...

I sit down.
In 12 days, there's EuroBSDCon.
I just think that in 12 days, there's EuroBSDCon. And this cheers me up.

Damn. Pipes and plumbing are the flesh of nightmares. I hope everything gets fixed soon. Luck!

Oh no ! I do hope this isn't a major issue for you. I've everything crossed.

@justdude This is the worst possible timing (for money)

@justdude in the worst case, all the works will be interrupted before leaving for EuroBSDCon and resumed after 🙂
But the worst timing is for money - this is the worst time of the year (lots of taxes and unexpected expenses).
