Ifyou read my last blog you remember the clogged drain. I tried all day to get someone out here to fix it, but I guess no one needs the work, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. I mean, I have plumbed many a sink, surely I can get one unplugged. So off I go to home depot.
Since I had tried the drain opener and it didn't work I went to the tool rental center to rent a drain snake. And this wasn't just any drain snake, it was a POWER drain snake. Oh, be still my pattering heart. So after lugging it to the car, up the steps and into the kitchen,(the darn thing was really heavy) and after many more trips to the garage for tools, flashlights, etc. I was ready to dis-assemble the drain and start the adventure.
Now I don't know if you've ever snaked a drain, but it is DISGUSTING, I mean nasty, nasty, disgusting. But after 25 feet of cable (all there was) I pulled it back in and let me tell you, if what was on the end of that snake was even close to what was clogging that drain, not suprised it wasn't draining.
So after holding my breath, and many swear words about how icky the crap on my hands was, I ran the water. and ran it and ran it. SUCCESS!! It drained. Can I describe the power (not to mention the smell)?
Now I have done a lot of home improvements, but the sound of that water going down the pipes and knowing that I did it, was a crowning achievment in home improvements.
Yes, I have a new love affair and his name is "power snake" LOL
