Just a reminder .. clean yer drain when you turn the clocks back and
change battery in the smoke alarm....

My shower drain seemed a little slow, so I took off the grate (dropped
one screw into the drain, of course) to see if it needed cleaning.
Using a quality coat hanger, bent with a small hook at the tip, I began
the task. When it hit bottom, it felt kind of spongy .. that worried me
that the pipe might have rusted away or something. I started pulling
stuff out, but still soft at the bottom. When I finished, I was totally
grossed out..think I might have something for the Guinness book of
records. There was at least 100 years worth of long hair in the drain,
but the building has only been here about 40 ...... Ick!

I use the little drain filters and they work well.

I wrote an article on a little device that works a lot like a hanger,
but is flexible, so it will go down in the curved area of a toilet to
get a toy out. Here is the link.

Been a long time since any toys or wris****ches went down our drain )

If I waited that long, it would be hopelessly plugged. We seem to have
overactive hair follicles or something, the drain picks up enough hair
in a month to start slowing down.
