If you dont know already, I do Interior Design as well as stage homes! Well, one of the houses we stage, and currently live in, JUST SOLD! Yay! This is great! Well, we all know what comes next... Inspections.
The home needs 8 piers and has had problems with plumbing in the house. The "structural guys" came out, dug their holes, jacked up the house and BAM, the kitchen sink completely HALTS its draining purpose. Of course, my lovely husband had just finished cooking a GIANT meal.
So long story short, the pipes going under the house have possibly busted. Causing water to stand in the sink for well over a week. Meaning don't use the sink and don't use the dishwasher. Pheww!
I cannot stand a messy house, let alone a messy kitchen! So as you can imagine dishes are piling up, and it doesn't smell too hot. Windows wide open, air on full blast. I think its time for an intervention! So when all else fails... Do the dishes outside! Old School Style! - Now just keep in mind, I am just now getting to the dishes because we were under the impression that for the last 5 days, a plumber was suppose to come...and didn't.
My version of doing dishes outside include: 2 hampers (to hold the dishes of course), gloves, dawn anti bacterial dish soap, a scrub brush, towel AND the water hose!

| By the time I was done, this towel was beyond full! |
Needless to say, thank GOD for dishwashers! That took forever and a day. My back hurts, I think I might have a sunburn and my backyard is soaked! - But like I said. When all else fails... Do the dishes outside! All clean :)
