Another gift from my predecessors...

Wow, so I purchased and used some Drano today, but my drain was still slow.  So then I decided to try the old coathanger trick, and I pulled this giant...thing out of the drain.  It contained what looks to be a makeup applicator, lots of hair several inches longer than mine, and some other unidentifiable objects.  Like a lot of things in this house

Sheena, that is such an adorable picture!

But down to business! Basically I had this coathanger I'd used for fishing wires before. You just bend it out straight and then make a little hook at the end. I took out the part of the drain that opens and closes and just stuck the hanger down the drain and snagged the nasty clump. A flashlight helps, too, so you can see whatever's down there.

I can show you a picture of the hanger if you want. I'm just really tired and lazy tonight :-P

Ok, now I know what you meant by nasty pictures..that's truly gross. I hope nothing like that ever comes out of my drains. (Ok, I admit I've pulled hair out of the shower drain a few times, but at least I know it's mine!)

OMG Jaclyn. Warning label next time. PLEASE.

[jaclyn325mink]

Hey, I don't believe in warning labels most of the time for two reasons: logic and context clues.

Being totally serious, the act of pulling this out of the drain brought me very close to vomiting.

That statement, combined with the fact that it's behind a cut, should have made its own warning label, so...not legally responsible! :-P

Jaclyn, I don't read. I skim. lol. But that's just... SICK. That's something I'd show my mom to scare her. lol.
