Hot Diggety Dog!! I'm a plumber now ...

[BadgeBunny]

OK ... As GC leaves for work (and as I'm on my way home from a doctor's appointment) he tells me "BTW, honey, the toilet is clogged up and I can't get it undone."

Hmmmmm ... says me to myself "Well, Self, it worked just fine when we used it this morning ...

Now ... I love plumbers as much as the next person, but the money I have in my pocket I had other plans for so ... I go to the trusty-dusty wwwdot and lo and behold ... It "may" be possible to unclog a toilet without a plunger ... (Yes, we have a plunger. No, I'm not very good at using said plunger because I do not plug the toilet up ... )

So ... I do like the trusty builder guy in the video tells me and pour an "ample" amount of dishsoap down into the toilet bowl. Sure enough, it sinks to the bottom just like he says it will, thinking to myself "Well, if it spills over the top at least I'll have clean, soapy water to work with ... "

And then I let it set for 30 minutes (the guy in the video said "20 minutes", but I'm an over-achiever). Then I pour a pitcher of hot water into the bowl (just like video guy has told me to).

It WORKED!! (Thank God and the trusty builder video guy!)



And this concludes my home improvement segment for today ...
So guys ... next time you want to impress your wife after you've stopped up the toilet ... take this guys advice ...

LOL ... that' is an urban myth perpetuated by men who are threatened by the fact that not only can I shoot, but I can out-shoot them! (Not to mention the fact that I can drag a deer outta the woods backwards, wearing high heels! )

Do you charge by the hour or by the job? I'm in regular need of someone to unclog my throne.

No way! I only do that for men who give me their ENTIRE paycheck ... (And I still about it even then ... How hard is it to NOT clog up a toilet?? Seriously. I've never clogged up a toilet. Never. Not once ... And I'm a OLD, OLD woman now ... )

Someone is going to think hot water means boil a pot on the stove and crack the piss out of their bowl sometime, or they're gonna be like me and have hot water temp at the taps maxed out and the wife pours 170 degree water into the bowl and cracks the piss out of it. I had to clean up 2 broken toilets in apartments in the past when residents thought using hot water would unclog their toilet was a good idea.

Maybe you should leave the toilet repairs to men...

It takes a real man to lay one down big enough to stuff up the pipes...

So BB it sounds like you didn't even have to get down under anything and show-off the old plumber's crack for this one! Good job!!!!
