We have bad luck with drains. Our history is not good. We have yet to meet a drain that can withstand the demands we put on it. We have no idea what we do to clog them, but we always manage to slow the flow.Well after many tries with draino to clear the drain, we just weren't getting the results we wanted. The drain was still so S-L-O-W! So Chad had me go get a new P Trap and then he got to work. He unhooked the pipes and found the clog or rather just gunk that had built up. He didn't have the tools necesary, so the engineer in him took over and he fashioned himself his own tool made with the things that were under the sink in the bathroom. When Riley and I came in to see how it was going we saw this...
Chad had made a drain clearing device made from a pencil and a tampon and duct tape. Riley asked Chad what he was doing and why he was using a tampon. He told her he needed something long to push the clog out of the drain. She said, "Nice contraption Dad!" we all laughed. It worked though and really that's all that matters.
