We'll never get this house on the market!!

We just can't get ahead. Every time I fix something two more things break. Last month the plumbing on the West end of the house backed up again (for the fifth time!!) Thrice before it flooded the kitchen and ruined the hardwood floor. This time the flood didn't ruin the floor, but the plumber did.

After two days of plumbers they finally figured out that the drain line for that side of the house had a low spot and wasn't draining completely. That made it possible for stuff to get trapped and back up the pipe.

They Dug a new trench and installed a larger diameter pipe at the correct slope. While they were at it they dug up the septic tank to inspect it. Of course, it had to be pumped and cleaned too. $5800.00 later and now the kitchen sink drains. Why couldn't I just run a hose into the flower bed?
