Stuff just happens.... Hate when it does

• Belly35

  

  The family and friends coming over on Monday so I'm fixing a few things. Because I have a ton of tomatoes I figure nice bowl of gazpacho and some bruschetta along with the traditional brats, bake beans and sheet cake andwhat ever others are bring.
  
  the sink start to fill up, turn on the disposal water goes down, turn off disposal water comes back up.
  Sink is clogged... Tried every thing plugger it several times, really did want to put a drain cleaner in it but I did.... Nothing still clogged.
  It is Sunday afternoon, called our Plummer ... Tuesday at best...
  
  so last night around 9:00 I'm under the sink disconnecting the pipes and feeding a 25 foot snake ...fixed it... One hour and 30 minutes. I'm sore, stiff and neck is killing me.. But it is fixed, I saved a few bucks not using the Plummer and the party will be able to use the sink...
  
  Ever notice that things like sink get clogged, sewer backs up, power goes out or some stupid thing happens when you're having a party or during the holiday get together?
  
  note: two things I hate to fix .. Plumbing and electrical

  Belly - maybe you should try taking better care of your sink and garbage disposal?

  No.

  But I DO know that if I have to get under the sink to do some work, it's an automatic stiff neck/sore back the next day.

  the sink and disposal not the problem.... Onion, skin, pepper seeds and tomatoes ... Just to much for the old house drain pipes... Clogged up the kitchen drain pipe.. Good new this won't happen again for another 10 years...

  I learned that the crushed up egg shells are a problem.

  If chicks smelled like bacon or tacos they'd get laid more often.
