That takes me back to the time when nothing would go down the drain at all, any and all drains...
The main line had been clogged by tree roots to the point of the pipes breaking and collapsing...
Under your basement is not a place that the city will take responsibility for, either, not that I tried...
For us, it turned into a big, messy, stinky, expensive job...twice, actually...After the first time, we were warned that there was an area that could have the same problem in a few years, and sure enough, it did...
I highly reccomend Mr. Rooter, who also do other plumbing jobs. They scope out the pipes with a camera to find the area needing attention...Then it gets interesting. To replace pipe, they have to dig through cement, dirt. It is not a quick job, but it is a dirty one, and smells like they dug up the graveyard..
Ask for Les to come out. He's the best...

This has got to be one of the cruelest things "people" do to animals - I just cringe when I think of how these poor pigs feel for their whole miserable lives - just makes me cry - I wish it would just end.....
Animals have done us no harm and they have no power of resistance. There is something so very dreadful in tormenting those who have never harmed us, who cannot defend themselves, who are utterly in our power. ~ Cardinal John Henry Newman.

On another note - one of my presents this year was the new DVD/CD set of GODDO "The Pretty Bad Boys Return" It was recorded live at the Sound Academy 2010 and I was there! Haven't had a chance to watch it yet but I'm sure it will be good and maybe I'll see someone I know in the audience!
Another gift was tickets to see them Dec. 31 at the Rockpile East so I know what I'm doing for New Year's Eve!!!!
It looks like your on here mechman and I remember you seen them a few month's ago there - what was the old knobbie like? Is there much seating and is there lots of standing room in the front? Have no idea when to get there? Can you tell me anything about the place?
I also got Lynyrd Skynyrd "Sweet Home Alabama" playing live in Hamburg. Should be great too!!!

There is limited seating on the left wing, pretty large standing area, low ceilings throughout.
Two bars, there is also an anti-room off the other wing, where they can set up chairs, but no view of the stage.
The first few seconds of this video, is shot from the back close to the seating section, might give you some perspective.

Best Video from the Grand Opening Weekend.

Good afternoon all. Have been working today, but we have all been in the office since boxing day when it just got too cold. We have been warm and have had the internet. When we went home to get the turkey on Christmas it was party frozen in the bine, thought it was going to be a problem but it cooked ok. We called home a half an hour ago and the power was on, and the answering machine answered. But it is back off again.

Thanks mechman, that helps. Does the seating give a good view of the stage - not that I'd be lucky enough to get it and I'd like to be up front as well!
Did anyone play before them when you went?

Another perfect night to get comfy in your favourite chair & find something good to watch on TV. I wonder if there is anything good on?
Love the Andy Griffith before & after portrait. Wasn't it nice that they were able to pose together again?
I made a great bit pot of turkey soup today & tomorrow I'll make a turkey tetrazzini casserole to freeze & put away for one of those nights when we are having a I-don't-know-what's-for-dinner times. (seems we have quite a few of those)

Good one Jester...But Mayor Ford is not my mayor, though the one we got has some nasty rumours about him going around that would make Ford look like a choirboy!!!
Thanks for the post bww, but we got off lucky, it wasn't collapsed pipes. Seems it was a just a nasty clog and with the equipment we were using yesterday it just wasn't powerful enough. Home Depot and Lowes were open but their rental departments were closed, so we just bought a cheap snake. The plumber even said his heavy duty auger had a hard time breaking through. He got the auger 60 feet out the drain that should take it to the main sewer line. The city checked the sewers out on the street but once they saw the sub-basement they bailed and told me to get a plumber. We used Thos R Birnie & Sons. Very good service as well...
Time for a cold beer
Cheers!!!

I'm exhausted !! Spent much of the day trying to clean up. There's dog hair EVERYWHERE.
Only had so much time though, my niece & her boyfriend came from Brock University for a visit this afternoon & just left to head back. It was really nice to see her.
I think I'll take Loocie's suggestion, and pull up a chair & crash.
