Plumbing

The PartPimp has been having beaucoup plumbing problems! It started with the septic tank pump, then a overflow of the cistern, then another septic pump problem. Now there's a bad stink in the bathroom, like sewer backup smell. ARRRGGG.

The funny part of the story was the changing of the septic pump. The PartPimp had a mechanical by-pass when he was very young so easy household maintenance can be somewhat challenging. I plugged the pump in, connected it to the long pipe and placed it back into the tank. As I was connecting the pump pipe to the field pipe the pump turned on. I know the pump works REAL good. It was blasting the black water all over. As I was trying to stop myself from puking as I fumbled around trying to unplug the pump. Needless to say, the PartsPimp became the PooPimp.

I guess if life was easy, everyone would be doing it. Onto the parts! We've used the guys down at Houston Drive Train several times and they really know what they are doing. They handle driveline, rearends and transmissions for light, medium and heavy duty. Their website is http://www.houstondrivetrain.com.
