Both my shower drain and kitchen sink has been pretty clogged lately, even after bottles of Drano. I decided to break out the big gun - my new crank drum snake drain cleaner. I watched a few YT vids, and started on the tub first as I'm SO tired of standing in water. It was quite challenging with the immobile leg, but I went slowly. I took off the overflow cap and turned the drum to feed the snake as far as it could go. I ran across a little resistance, but after working it and retracting the snake I expected there to be some nasty shit dredged up. But all that was on it was some black, smelly liquid. I decided to go down the water drain, which they did not recommend, and I didn't really bring up anything from there, either. But when I turned on the hot water it ALL RAN FREELY DOWN THE DRAIN! I must have knocked some huge blockage loose, and it simply fell down the main pipe! How nice, I deserve it. Can't wait to take a shower now. I tried on the kitchen sink, but no go. Then I tried a plunging method I watched by tucking in the flange of the plunger so it makes an air/water tight seal with the standing water. This time I pulled up some nasty shit, but I totally cleared the drain! Nice.
I'm cleaning up because my piano buddy is coming by to hang and play chamber music for the first time since June when I first injured myself. I'm so excited to hang - single malt, beer, weed, awesome conversation, and sight reading great classical music. Couldn't think of a better Saturday night...
and now I need coffee
