I hate plumbing repairs part II and don't get married
Just needing to vent.
Per my advice, I told the wife it's not a good idea to dump the shredded chicken down the disposal. Well, she did anyway thinking if she keeps the disposal running, it'll pass through. Now, both sinks (double kitchen sink) and the bathroom sink (on the same wall other side) are plugged up. I removed all pipes under the sink to clear and confirm blockage and broke one side of the sink pipe from drain. Therefore, the drain needs to be snaked. The good news is all other drains are fine and I assume blockage is mainly in the wall before it hits the main drain. I'm also glad I have a plumber friend who will lend me his snake, but I hate snaking. It's such a freaking mess. Other than the cost of a new drain pipe, it'll simply cost me time away from what plans I had for tomorrow. When will women start listening and stop thinking they know what's best when it comes to not only things they know little about but things we men know more about. You single guys, don't do it. Stay single. Women make you age faster. BTW, anyone know why Eternal September news isn't working? |

Running egg shells down a garbage disposer is one of the classic methods of cleaning them (the others being coffee grounds, ice cubes, and orange peels). An eggshell is far too fragile to jam a disposer. Unless you're dumping ostrich eggs in your disposer, maybe... |

FWIW, the manual for the disposal reccommends putting chicken bones down the thing, apparently on the idea that they'll scrape gunk off the cutters and other parts of the mechanism as they go thru. BTW, anyone know why Eternal September news isn't working? No - they haven't bothered to post server status for years. I assume they had to perform maintenance of some kind - that happens every few months, and they're usually down for 3 or 4 hours when they do. John |

We just put the coffee grounds on the compost pile or in the trash, same with egg shells. |

John She puts chicken breast in a crock pot for several hours and the stuff falls apart and melts in your mouth. Great for chicken tacos and whatnot. Anyway, it was an old batch we forgot in the fridge. Not only does it melt in your mouth, it goops in your drain when wet. |

Hum - my 3HP auto reversing unit states that egg shells can slip along the edge of the spinning disk and do a jam fit. I've seen one that was done that way and a 15" wrench onto the Allen just bent the Allen wrench. It is akin to a dime in a door jam - maybe a penny. Can't open the door since it needs to move in a radius and is stopped. Martin |

Eggshells jamming a disposal would defeat the phrase "walking on eggshells". I agree, I cannot nor will not accept the argument of an eggshell's ability to jam a disposal. If so, I would have had jams continuously for the past several decades since I always throw eggshells in the disposal when in fact, I never had one. |
