Hey y’all — Donovan here, and in this episode of Call Me Donovan, I go full tilt into the joys (read: hell) of homeownership. What started as a normal Sunday with laundry turned into a plumbing nightmare: backed-up sinks, overflowing washing machine lines, and a trip—or three—to Lowe’s. I recount how my daughter and I tackled the clog from hell, including crawling under the house, getting soaked in nasty water, and me ending up covered in kitty litter and PVC glue.
I also reflect on what it’s like to own a home after years of living in double wides, share a few family stories from my younger days, and throw in a little unsolicited advice for anyone romanticizing the idea of homeownership. Spoiler: it ain’t all HGTV.
So if you’ve ever dealt with a stubborn drain, a busted garbage disposal, or just needed a reminder that homeownership means you are also the plumber, carpenter, and janitor—this one’s for you.

This one’s messy—in more ways than one.
