Pluggers by Rick McKee for April 08, 2020

and being an unplugger like that is no fun

When i was a kid i remember my father using one of those things several times. Never seem to work he always had to take the pipe apart and run a sewer snake down the pipe to clear it.

You gotta be kidding me. Do I believe what I am reading? By the way, dishwashing soap is helpful for this.

You’ll find the cause of that problem if you can answer this question – When did my wild oats become bran muffins?

Did not know that one was on the Plugger Bucket List !

I had a chronic clogging problem in the old bathroom sink, turned out to be corrosion on the screen. A couple of good pokes with a bamboo skewer cleared it.

This used to be much less of a problem before someone came up with the bright idea of low flush volume toilets.

Replacing the toilet often helps.. the insides get a major build up of minerals that reduce the size of the hole.

There is a reason they call you the family plugger.

Never had that problem with our outhouse, just wasps

Ewww. Just ewww.

While cleaning Mom accidentally dropped the toilet paper holder roll into the toilet as she was flushing it. The holder was made of wood. (happened long ago) It stuck inside the pipe (p-trap) of the toilet. My Dad could not extract it from the toilet ‘p’ trap. He took the toilet out and tried everything. No go. My eldest brother, with a flash of insight, had my Dad lay the toilet on its side while he took a garden hose and let water flow gently through the toilet. The wooden holder just floated out. My hero.

Good one, Jerry

I built my home and installed my own septic system. All went well until my two visiting menstruating nieces came to visit and crashed my system. Later, I DID tell them that they, like their mother, should have ‘saved’ their @#$%^& tampons in it’s box that no robber would ever look in for their valuables. Such is the lore passed in MY family.. >eye-roll<

As ye plug, so shall ye unplug.
