It fell to me to once again put on my plumber's hat and unclog a drain. This was .... awful. The shower in the main bathroom was beginning to drain very slowly and what's a lone lady to do? Grab the rubber gloves, the red bucket, a screwdriver, baking soda, vinegar, and a Turbo Snake. That's right, a Turbo Snake.
My daughter-in-law heard that I'd be digging in and removing loads of nastiness out of the shower drain and she brought this handy little tool over.
It worked very well. The Velcro end attaches itself to the great big globs of greasy, grimy (gopher guts, mutilated monkey meat, chopped up baby birdie feet) hair and "soot". The stiff wire feeds well through the drain pipe; I think I need to invest the $3.95 in my own little Turbo Snake.
I finished off with lots of baking soda and vinegar, followed by a hot water chaser. The smell, though, is burned on my brain, stamped forever in my olfactory system. Yuck.
God bless all plumbers every where.
