Ok, so I hinted earlier about my adventures in drain clog clearing and how I’d give more details later. Now’s later. Let’s do this! So over the past few months, I noticed that the kitchen sink was draining kinda slow. As the weeks passed, it was slower and slower.

I was, of course, past my one year warranty >.< I called Thursday, and the shipping box & label showed up Monday, so that’s not.. Read More
