(The Stink Itself. Warning: Don't read this post while eating... more exciting pictures to come... lol)So... there have been some pretty daunting odors wafting around the kitchen for the past couple weeks, and while knowing it was a sewage/draining/possibly grease tank problem... the disgusting-ness wasn't exposed until yesterday afternoon.
Jenna, Jo-el, Gloria and I were all in the kitchen Sunday afternoon when suddenly the drains spouted up a lot of smelly water... yuck. Clambering quickly for buckets, mops, and towels we got the water cleaned up, stopped, and wrung out.
And then... the action brigade started.
Returning to the north of the comedor an hour later, I saw Jo-el on the backhoe, Bill directing, various work team members observing and lending a hand (we currently have a specialty welding group here helping us), and kids of all ages making gagging noises and expostulating over the overwhelming stink coming from the opened drainage pits [okay... time to admit that I do not know all the technological language for this, and will probably not write it correctly... ;)].
Amy and Jenna stand at the edge of the opened pit, showing us how they really feel...
Professional Stink-Remover #1: Jo-el actually looked like he was enjoying this...
Professional Stink-Remover #2: Bill prepares to stick his arm into the mess of gross-ness to insert the wire-enforced water hose. He also looked happy at this point...
... maybe not as happy at this point. Pobrecito is really the only fitting term here. Jo-el was kind enough to hold up the back part of the sleeve for him... ;)
The spectacle drew quite a crowd. I am especially impressed by Paola's reaction (girl at right, in blue) in this photo...
Finally the stuff started draining after excessive water-blasting, and Michael and Francisco were ready to help with the "last details." So... a big thank you to the Smell Remover Crew... you are my new heroes. ;)

Yuck, yuck, yuck! SOooo sorry I missed that one! Many thanks to all those who took care of the problem!
I'm not to worried about my feet, but it will be a while before I will shake Bill's hand.
What, did the plastic sleeve leak? Ack.
Good work, gentlemen! Makes me realize how much I take U.S. plumbing for granted :)
So, Amy and Jenna are standing there with hands over their mouths looking as if they just tossed their cookies, and at their feet is a big brown puddle ..... the conclusion seems obvious to me. (Who's the new cook???)
Don p.,
Maybe 1000 hotdogs are starting to fight back!!
Where is Tobi when you need him?
Wow... I didn't expect the comments on this post to make me more queasy than the post itself (i.e. thoughts of Tobi lapping up hot dog remains... sickness).
So... thanks for that ;)
