This post is all about me being so proud of myself for fixing the kitchen sink… I clogged the sink on Wednesday night. The same thing had happened a year and a half ago after Cali was born (http://searchponderpray.com/Jana/?p=510) and it was bad, took forever to unclog it and lots of help from my neighbor so I had no desire to even try and fix it. I busied myself with other things on Thursday and Friday and limited use of the kitchen. Finally on Saturday afternoon I decided I had to deal with it since I’m leaving town and the kitchen was starting to smell.

I tried all of the unclogging tricks that I know and nothing worked. I then went down under the house and discovered water spraying out of a crack in the drain pipe! So now I had a clogged sink and a broken pipe. I called a few family members to consult, and even the plumber that I had out last month. I would have had him come do it but it was Saturday night and he said he could come Monday… to make a long story shorter…. I cut the pipe. Drained the nastiness. Had Ben help me hook up the garden hose underneath by the pipe and I crammed the hose down the pipe unclogging it until the water ran freely! Pipe unclogged. DONE! A quick trip to Lowes – 8$ out of our pocket to fix the pipe and I have my kitchen sink back!!!! I was so proud to save a buck and even excited to get up and clean my kitchen after letting the cement dry on the new piece of pipe.
