Stop reading right now if you want. As I sat down to type it, Ralph barfed up half a can of chicken and salmon cat food. *head banging on desk*
I am trying to think how to make this succinct and non-gross, but there is no way. The long and the short of it is: boys are disgusting.
I have waited too long to re-caulk around the toilets in the boys’ bathroom and haven’t changed out the toilet seats since Lloyd was in Hawaii. Combine that with the fact that boys – both little and big- can’t aim worth a *&%^$, and we have the lovely fact that the boys’ bathroom reeks. REEKS.
I had been in denial all week, but it came up at staff meeting so it needs to be dealt with. After exploring the situation on Friday evening, it seems that urine has been leaking under the cracked caulking and has collected underneath the toilet. I am sorry for typing this all out, but please remember that I told you at the start of this that you could stop reading. Skip to the video -that’s sadly funny.
Anyway, this is beyond my area of expertise. We need to get a real plumber in there who can change out our ancient toilets and remedy the situation. The problem is that I had already removed the caulking, and since a plumber can’t come right away, the toilets need to be re-caulked so more pee doesn’t go under there. I spent Saturday afternoon buying supplies and researching toilets, and Saturday evening scraping caulk and trying to wick out what I could from underneath.
Enough about that. Here’s the disgusting funny. Also brought up at the meeting was that one of the sinks in the girls’ bathroom is draining very slowly. I said it was probably another paintbrush stuck in there (seriously) and that I’d check into it.
Well, I poured a little CLR around the drain nuts, and when I ran some water, this started to happen. Watch for the spraying pinhole:
Grrrrrrr…… I took the trap off, fainted at the giant clog (I will email you a picture if you want it) and bought a new trap.
*sigh* that is all.
