So, a few days back, my kitchen plumbing started to fail. I found this out when I did dishes. The backflow from my dishwasher decided to fill up my sink, and grace my floor with some gross crap. My garbage disposal failed, and the main drain line from my primary sink to the shared plumbing with my secondary sink clogged. Even draino couldn't clear it.
So, tonight, armed with a channel lock, various pliers, plumbers tape, screw drivers, and such, I went to battle, not having a remote clue as to what I was doing save some experience back from college of doing sprinklers and irrigation for a public park system in CO.
Aggrivation, hatred, and furious anger ensued. Well, aggrivation, mostly.
Took it all apart, even the garbage disposal. Cleaned all the mechanics, replaced the clogged pvc, put it all back together.
The sound of my now running disposal and free flowing water through the drain was the musk of victory!!!
Being pretty much a perpetual renter, I always had the luxury of someone else fixing it. However, my leasing company sucks and no one still had come by, and I have dishes that needed doing!
Small victory, for sure, but my god, so sweet.
Lame shit thread. Lock and ban, or just share stories of small victories that still felt so damn good.
