How do temporary life fixes turn into something permanent?
First, something breaks, and it’s complicated, expensive, so call in a pro.
Then, in this case, the pro wants to re-pipe under a sink, tear out the wall, change the height of the drain.
They wouldn’t agree to fix it back the way it was because their professionalism wouldn’t allow it.
But it had to get fixed before a big event, so why not try a bag of promises?
Easy, cheap, and you get used to washing dishes in hot soapy water on one side when waste water back-flows into when the garage disposal runs on the other side.
That’s the temporary life, baby.
How’s your back-flow going?
