We’ve got more plumbing issues than Mario and Luigi can handle between the long gap between the filming of Super Mario Bros VIII and Super Mario Bros VIIII. I know that’s not how Roman Numerals work but there was also never a Super Mario Bros. 8, as far as I know.
Listening to: Sisters of Mercy – This Corrosion, not only a Goth anthem, but also the anthem of yesterday and today.
Luckily, Scott dropped a tool in the exposed floor of the kitchen in Unit B only to discover the corrosion in the main drainage pipe in the kitchen. Further investigation revealed, that not only was the pipe severely corroded, but about 5 feet down line it was completely broken off. This means, in addition to the bathtub in this unit, that it has been draining for who knows how long straight into the earth below the house. Scott was cursing the home inspector that did the pre-purchase inspection and the previous owner for the severe lack of attention. I must admit there were a few minutes where I was upset about it, but then it passed and we focused on how to correct the issue. It took some puzzle-solving, but eventually we formed a game plan and decided which pieces we needed to solve this problem.
After numerous trips to Home
We started to get the sub-floor reinstalled to put the first new tub in, but it was nearly time to quit for the day. All in all these plumbing issues have cost us almost two days, but while we were delayed progress was made elsewhere. The stucco guys came in today and applied the first layer of stucco. This guy Marcos and his crew were very
Lots of people have been marveling at our break-neck pace, but the way we figure it, for every day that we aren’t listed on Airbnb that’s $200+ dollars that we are potentially losing out on. It’s all about opportunity cost (look it up.)
Oh Mario help me fix this awful plumbing 
Early today Scott discovered the kitchen plumbing was also a mess 
Just like the bathroom, corroded galvanized pipes 
Not Mario, but Scott to the rescue 
We opted to just redo all of the plumbing in Unit B 
This Corrosion, not just a great Sister’s of Mercy track… 
Scucco has begun 
In the Upside-Down 
More Stucco 
Stucco guy and our massive pile of trash 
More trash, more stucco 
The previous owners left a stucco mess here but now it’s clean as a whistle… 
Some strange lyrics on the bathroom wall 
? 
This tub is going in if it wants to or not
Love the Mario reference. Since Mario is his first name and they are known as the Mario Brothers, does this mean his name is Mario Mario? Great Sisters of Mercy call back. There are bound to be drawbacks, but keep the eye on the prize.
Thanks Rick! You’re always the perceptive one. Mario Mario is surely his name. Luigi Mario is his brother who is constantly living in his bro’s shadow.
