Drain, Drain, Go Away

I mentioned to Doug that the kitchen sink was draining slowly a couple of days ago and today, it quit draining completely. We tried the Drano route and that was totally ineffective.

So, the next option was to drive to Plain and buy a snake (drain auger). Doug worked and worked with it, to no avail. Then he went on the roof to try and use the snake down the vent. No luck there either.

Another trip to the store was now required, this time to Wenatchee to find the sealant for the vent on the roof and a longer snake.

Between Doug and myself, we managed to soak every towel and the floor and the cupboard and the counter trying to get to the clog. Finally, about 8pm, we gave up. I washed the dishes in the bathroom sink and we cleaned up the mess.
