Thread: Are your sinks backed up?

No, No No, I won't go there,,,,they'd put me in the box for a week,,,,

Im pretty sure I got it at Lowes or Walmart. Just checked Lowes online and it listed a similar one.

Your calling me old, and you are getting all in a flurry of excitement over a new sort of sink plunger! I hope your bathroom turns into a swampy swimming pool and you have to start shaving in the kitchen. I have to go, must go and dress in black before moping round the local shopping centre, that's what us young folk do these days.

If I don't sell it I will put it in a box so that no one else can get any enjoyment from it either.

See, what did I say? Grouchy today aren't we Ed? Think Walt Disney thought and it will brighten your day. And as for Bombay, in terms of your lawn care, tell him to sod off.

Funny thing is that the bath tub drain clogs periodically as well. Now I have significant hair loss (I'm bald!!!). Every time I unplug the tub drain, I pull out wads of my wife's hair. She has a full head of hair!!! Go figure.

I hate lab drains! If there is a puddle of blood/ etc. on the floor that is OK because i know what I am dealing with.

I went to a funeral yesterday and I don't notice it seeing her everyday but after seeing old pictures, my wife use to have a lot more hair. [DON'T tell her I said this!]

From the look of that thing, I'd suggest you may find one at your local Adult's Only store....

That's the only time my drain gets clogged. It starts with mustache trimmings that slow things down, then shaved beard hair and soap start to accumulate, eventually stopping up the works.
Pulling the drain plug out and cleaning both sides of that actuator with a wire makes it good to go again for six months to a year.

No, if they are I use lye. Lye has lots of great applications. (soap making, hominy making, cleaning, clog clearing, bucking hides, renewing iron skillets...)

If that doesn't work, i examine the system-I installed everything but the tank. Last big problem was a nearly-consumed soap puck that got flushed and hung up in the trap of the toilet. I had to R&R the toilet to find that problem.

No hair issues since the little women cleared out. Short hair is not an issue in my system.

For sinks I like a style that looks like a mini toilet plunger.

Two fire drills in a row I showed up with one in my hand. You can imagine the comments I got!
