I tried the garden hose...didn't work

I'm trying the shop vac thing...so far it doesn't
look too promising...


When our shower drain seemed a little slow, I got out the old coat
hanger...straightened it out and bent the tip into a very small hook.
When I put it into the drain, it seemed like it hit something soft - I
was worried the pipe was broken and I was hitting dirt. It wasn't dirt
- it was an amazing, huge, disgusting glob of hair. Probably 35 years
worth (

I realize a hanger could be dangerous, but I had no intention of
inserting into the bend in the pipe. In another home, the plumber got a
tub drain cleaned out, and could tell there had been only two people
who had used that tub. He was right, and he knew their hair color. Yuck!
