Sunday evening involved my brother stating: "hey, can you check out this pipe out for me? Apparently, since their house was built, the trap underneath the bathtub was NEVER hooked up. For however long, all of the bathtub water was draining into the crawlspace. Luckily, this is Colorado and the air is dry enough to not let this cause a huge mold problem. It took a few minutes to fix, but Russ decided to check out the other tub drain, which he found to be leaking too. So we ran down to Hardware Hank and got some plumbers putty and a very expensive Crescent wrench (which subsequently was returned to Hardware Hank). Now, both tubs do not drain into the basement. Neato.
