I have just had a lovely time clearing a blocked drain. The Sink I thought drained via another path but testing showed it was the kitchen sink. At any rate I took the cover off and baled it and the gunk out Yuk! I found the inlet and outlet and the out let was sure blocked. I cleared as much as possible by hand Yuk! Yuk! but it was still blocked.
I thought maybe a plunger might free it But I dd not have one. Then I thought Maybe I could make one. I grabbed a pice of timber and cut a couple of squares glued them together, put a 1/2 hole in the middle, put a two ft length of threaded rod in it and put the lot in the lathe an turned up a disk the right size.
I took my Plunger round to the drain and pushed it down till I felt some resistance then gave a great push, the plunger went down another ft with a great gurgling noise. Pulled the plunger out and the backed up dirty dish water started pouring through. What a relief now I need two showers to wash off the stink. Yuk!Yuk!
