Once we learned that "roots in the pipes" also meant "because the old clay stinkers have collapsed altogether", we played a delicate game of not letting TOO much water go down at once, lest we trigger the horrifying Sh*tgeyser in one or both bathrooms, until the plumber (they're ALL busy, I tried) could finally come and dig up the whole mess. A few months' wages later, my pipes are now golden! (Both literally and figuratively.)

Oh, no, BBBB. It is black as the heart of darkness.
