Assuming that this was a simple clog in the trap I took a plunger to it, got a bunch of debris out but it still didn't drain. Took the trap out, I know how, I put it in there the last time. There is no @#$%#$ clog in the trap. Figures, that would have been too easy. As I already have the trap out I might as well try to snake it, but there's a 90 degree angle right past the wall, so that's no go, and I don't want to force this because this same drain snake already broke once (I'm working with the shorter piece). I know where that pipe comes out because it has clogged before and my husband opened up a clean out plug about 20 years ago (it was full of sand then, and it most certainly wasn't from us). However, the clean out plug, not having been moved on 20 years won't budge under my weight (on an adjustable wrench) or a hammer on the same wrench. at this point in time the choice is to call a plumber or to try drain cleaner. As we have enzyme drain cleaner (I try to stay away from caustic stuff), after consulting with my husband, I put the drain back together and put the enzyme drain cleaner in, and some hot water until the pipe on the other side of the wall got warm.
As the enzyme drain cleaner says to wait 6 hours I then went about shipping that days orders and to work. (to be continued)
On the Hilo Beads side: If I pick another 3 1/2 pounds of Jobs Tears this weekend I'll have as much again as I did at the beginning of the week.
The title of this treasury matches my mood that day:
