Washing machine drain backed up, so I decided to tackle that tonight. Our upstairs kitchen sink feeds straight down through the basement, where the washing machine drain taps into the drain pipe at a T. What a damn mess of cast iron and PVC and God only knows what else ... but Hey! Total repair cost: $10.68 for a 20'f drum auger at Lowes, and I used every last foot out of the reel.

I swear on my mother I will never, ever pour bacon grease down the kitchen sink 'just this one time, it'll flush with hot water!' again.

Oh, and when you're working downstream, I STRONGLY ADVISE you tell the wife not to run an upstream tap. Yuck!

Worst home repair job ever. Plumbing still reigns supreme. :sick1:

I hate when my hot water tank dies, especially since that means there's no heat either in this abode. Spent the better part of day getting that replaced when I should've been watching football. Now I'm just waiting for the water to heat enough to fire up the heat.

At least it didn't wait to die when it was 10 degrees outside, like it will be next month.
