Had a bad day?
 
Let's compare.

The flounder I made for dinner was pasty and my black beans were very salty. :(

Mrs. WI took a shower and upon completion informed me that the tub wasn't draining. :huh:

I went in to see if the drain plug was stuck, or maybe if there was something there in the drain, and saw that the tub was filled to the brim. :eek:

I examined the trap and was perturbed to discover that there wasn't a clean-out plug there, but there was one in the main line. - removed that plug and found that the bottom 1/3 of the 20' line had a nice even layer of shite. :yikes:

I powerwashed it clean and, thankfully, it all ran outside to the septic tank. But that didn't explain why the tub wasn't draining. :confused:

Back I went to the tub trap and found that there was a 4" piece of brass pipe making the transition from the tub to the pvc trap. I removed it and found it to be clogged with hair and soap. Those of you that know me well, know how much I despise hair in the sink, so you can imagine how thrilled I was. at least it was partially disenfected because Mrs. WI pees in the shower. :p. At any rate, I spent the next 30 minutes scooping hair and soap bits out of the trap through the tiny gap (using a teaspoon), and flushing the line clean with a garden hose.

Mind you, it's 40 degrees out and I'm spraying water all over my basement with a hose and a powerwasher.

Feeling any better about your day yet?

Well consider this...when I typed all of this out, I deleted it by pressing the wrong button!

You so don't ever want me in your bathroom... I leave hair everywhere. :p

That's the worst part! Besides the stench of rotting body hair, that is. :eew:



I know it's not my hair! :hair:

I'm another one where my hair ends up everywhere. I have clean the wheels of my computer chair about once a month because of stray hairs being on my bedroom floor clogging them up. And I've pulled mouse sized hair balls out of the shower drain a few times.

why don't you just tell the sheep to take tongue baths from now on?

WildIrish 11-05-2010 02:25 PM

And risk them being too tired to service me? NEVER!!!

Well, that's your own fault, you shouldn't keep letting the sheep use your sink.

Sheesh and I actually bitched because the crazy Bulldog fans of my town had to drink a ton of lattes before they could start their tailgating.

WI, you need a hug.....and a warm bath. :x:
