Wife clogged up the damn kitchen sink....

I did not discover this until around 6PM.

I am now living on subfloor, with new bamboo hardwood slowly going in throughout.

That kind of stinks. Sorry to hear.

We had sink backups two Thanksgivings in a row before we learned that potato peelings basically turn into concrete when run down a garbage disposal. I don't know how my wife and I both lived 40+ years without learning that.
