Thanks everyone. The birthday went like this:
Wife lets me sleep in since so she gets up with the kids. "Sleeping in" means I don't actually get out of bed until 8:30. Wife has pancakes, I eat these and things are going well. I walk downstairs into the basement looking for something and step into 2 inches of standing water. My day is going downhill rapidly. The house I have owned for 9 days has a blockage in the sewer line someplace between the section of downpipe that handles the kitchen and the laundry room and the section that picks up both the bathrooms. The drain for the washing machine is the lowest one in the house so everything is draining out of there and flooding three rooms in my new house. I spend the rest of the day drying everything, cleaning everything and then attempting to snake that drain from every which way I can. I finally get everything mostly dry and fans going to try and deswamp the carpet. The cleanout has been covered by cupboards some time in the past 56 years, so I have to use my recip saw to create a clearance to get to it, in doing so I hit a water line and the place begins to flood yet again. I finally get the water to the house off and get that water line replaced. Now I learn that the cleanout is way too tight to get open and I give up for the night.
Birthday cost:
14 hours of cleaning and fixing
6 separate trips to Home Depot
$130 in supplies
Birthday BBQ cancelled
Next day I have a plumber come out. He can't get the cleanout open either but uses a 75 foot snake to clear the drain from another access point and has the whole thing fixed in 45 minutes. My snake was only a 20 footer. Now I am treating my pipes with Root-X. Could have been worse, at least the bathrooms were draining and my basement was filled with grey water, not black.
Thanks for the happy wishes all :)

:zombiefuck: Nothing like the joys of home ownership and a new home.
Been there. It sucks.
Hopefully this will be the last major occurance for awhile for you.

I got an old house too. Mine was built 1902 and some of the walls are still made from the same plaster (that old old lath-and-plaster) In places i could punch my way through it!
Floods, had several. Worse one was upstairs and my entire kitchen ceiling came down with the weight of it :zoinks:
Then, despite being warned the staircase wasn't safe i decided to play 'chase' with my two dogs (a boxer and a Bordeaux) and i went through the bottom step, through the floor and was standing about four foot underneath my house covered in cobwebs and spiders. The dogs were safe and looking down at me rather puzzled (i am sure they were laughing) :hahaha:
Oh, and one special christmas i came through the loft and hit my head on the bannister at the top of the stairs. Knocked myself out for hours and missed my christmas dinner at my mom's :grrr:
People say "oh i love old houses, they have so much character" - no but they sure do build one :LOL:

Your sewer is all backed up because you take elephant style dumps in your toilet dude. you need to put one of those airplane pottys in your house, the kind with industrial action suction.
