Yesterday I blogged about our clogged sinks well instead of waiting around for maitnence to fix it I actually fixed it myself! My prediction was that the garbage disposal (or garburator as we say in Canada) was the cause of the clog so I looked information up online about garbage disposals. Several websites said that to clean the garbage disposal run ice cubes through the disposal.
With the cap off the piping and a bucket to catch the water I got out my tray of ice cubes and ran a few cubes through the disposal at a time. Well … sorry for the gross description … a bunch of gunk and grime came out through the pipes. After I accomplished the task with all the ice cubes I screwed the pipe cap back on and ran the water on all the sinks and the water drained out just fine! I guess a ‘do-it-myself’ attitude will come in handy for when we become homeowners soon!

Good job! And I’ll try to remember that tip in case our disposal ever gets clogged.

Good for you! I would imagine it was pretty gross, but that’s awesome that you fixed it yourself!
