susandennisAnd speaking of yucky things, let's review my slow bathtub drain problem. Not a clog. Not even a big deal. It's just barely makes it up to the level of issue. Instead of slurping down right away like normal, the last bit of the shower kind of lingers a bit before going down the drain. A very little bit.
But my http://www.flexisnake.com/ order arrived. They are quite cool actually. Definitely not for major problems but in about 5 minutes and about 60 pokes down the drain with the thing, I managed to get about a tablespoon of hair and gook. Tomorrow, my Safeway order should be delivered between 10-noon and part of that order is Alka Seltzer and white vinegar so I can do![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

jsher's trick. An alternative to drain chemicals: pour some white vinegar down the drain, then pour in 2 crushed Alka Seltzer tabs, and wash them down with a little more Vinegar. Let it sit for about 20 minutes, and then run hot water for a minute or 2. If the drain is really bad, you may need to repeat it.I think I can knock this problem right out. If not, I'll probably get a plumber in here eventually - say when the shower water gets ankle deep.
