Great Plumbing Fiasco

 I'm not even sure where to start in explaining the great plumbing fiasco.

Let me sum up:
There was a miscommunication between the builder and the plumber.  Apparently the plumbers didn't get the memo that the sewer main line was actually above the level of the basement and that since sewage doesn't usually flow too well uphill we would need a pump.  Because this information was figured out AFTER all the concrete was poured (and framing had been done and drywall was being installed during the process) the plumbers had to come in and cut up a bunch of floors and install a sewage ejector pump.  And THEN since all the upstairs sewage was flowing through the main line it had to be rerouted so that it would flow out of the house and not have to flow downstairs and be pumped up.  Because of this, all of the upstairs plumbing had to be re-routed which resulted in the ceiling being torn out of several rooms of the basement.

AAAANNND, since the upstairs plumbing had to be re-routed the kitchen and laundry plumbing had to exit the ho use on the opposite side and travel under the front yard over to the main sewer line.  As you can see now, this has been a GIGANTIC mess.
