Lessons learned...

We have continued to use baby wipes with the girls. I find it's easier to clean the girls with wipes then with toilet paper. And we have been flushing them down the toilet...

Last night Brian went downstairs for something and there was water all over the floor. Our basement leaks so having water down there isn't' something new for us. The only thing is it didn't rain and it's been too cold for the snow to be melting. Then he looked in the washing machine and there was water in there. So we tried to drain the washer. As soon as the water starting going down the drain pipe water went everywhere! We had a blocked sewer pipe...

We took the drain pipe from the washer out of the main drain pipe (hope that makes sense to everyone) and what did I find?? A baby wipe. I know right then and there we were going to need a plumber. And I knew getting a plumber on the weekend was going to mean $$$!!

The plumber came and told us we had the record for most baby wipes clogging a pipe!! $245 later we were flowing again!!

So the lesson learned is... No more baby wipes in the toilet!!

OMG, $245, lots of money.

We had a "same" problem but it was with paper towel. Thanks God, my husband fixed it.
