Unplanned Dirty, Stinky, Nasty Repair
First thing this morning, I noticed that the bathroom sink was not draining. I don't mean it was slow or sluggish. I mean it was not draining. We had to run to the Post Office as early as possible this morning to ship a couple of packages but I knew I would now have a frustrating morning ahead of me once we arrived back home. I had a pretty good idea that the rather long drain pipe running to the side wall was probably clogged with hair, gunk, soap and I don't want to know what else. This would mean that I would need to disassemble the drain. I decided to just check the trap under the sink first though just in case this could be a relatively simple problem to resolve. I emptied out the long vanity cabinet and then went looking for a bucket. I placed the bucket under the trap and disassembled the trap... nasty, foul water spilled out... but the trap didn't have as much gunk in it as I thought it would or should considering the sink wasn't draining at all.
