What Do Electricity and Plumbing Have in Common?

Dear Diary,

"When it rains, it pours," OR in our case, "when a wire sparks, the plumbing leaks!"  Our electrician has spent the last four hours repairing all our wiring code violations (for a mere $150/hr).  I'm thinking the home inspector never really looked, five years ago, when we bought this house.  Meanwhile, our wonderful electrician is under the house and our plumbing gurgles up some sewage.  He smells quite lovely, now.  I'm calling him 'flower' for the rest of the day.  So, we asked everyone in our house not to use the bathroom near the leak.  Low and behold, the shower in the main part of the house deposited leftover water, as well.  A quick check by running the master bathroom shower and that leaks too.  It appears our whole house is falling apart.  Happy Holidays to us.  Guess that Christmas Bonus had to go somewhere.  And my complaints about the smoke smell?  No longer an issue.  The smokey odor has been overpowered by the stench of sewage that is under my house.  Meanwhile, my mood ring is greenish-blue today.
