Still haven't called a plumber about our washing machine situation

[conuly]

which in retrospect is just as well.

After replacing the u-bend plunging still wasn't getting anywhere, and I was perplexed that I heard a hissing noise every time I pressed down. Was there still some leak somewhere?

Not exactly. After the shitty contractor took out the old toilet that used to be by the washing machine he failed to cap that pipe leading to the outlet, instead just shoving a sponge in there. Which I guess has worked more or less fine until now, but still. Still. According to google this is a fairly cheap and easy fix, which makes this all the more absurd. When I have a chance, I'll deal with that.

...WTF? A cap doesn't even cost that much! He must not have had any with him. Shitty contractor was indeed shitty.

Ugh. Having to fix what your contractor was supposed to do makes them much less likely to get used in the future.

There are so many things, you don't even know.
