Big time clogged bathroom drain. Ew.
Okay, tried pouring boiling water in there, in case it was a lump of old soap that clogged the drain pipe. No go.
Wait, didn't I buy a metal spiral sewer thingy a few years ago?
After rummaging in various toolboxes, I found the thing.
And after poking around (Yuck! Ick! Damn!) I now have a fully functional drain again. Phew!
Thanks to dad, who didn't mind having me along when doing maintenance on the house, that taught me a lot of practical things.
Like fixing a clogged drain, changing tires, putting up shelves, assembling furniture, changing the suspension springs in a car, how to fix scratches and holes in various surfaces, how to polish copper (ketchup, guys - rub it on, leave it on, remove), remove chalk thingy edges from the various bathroom things and faucets, and so on.
Thanks to dad I can now take a shower without having to call a plumber first.
