When the pipe from the sink is clogged and greasy brown water is backing up into the dishwasher and then onto the floor and liquid plumber doesn’t work, the next step is to get under the sink and take pipes apart randomly until the clog is found and you’ve soaked yourself well. Then put it all back together and mop up the greasy water from the broiled lamb we had last night. And keep pushing the dog away — for the dog it’s all free floor soup and why shouldn’t he get in on that action?
The clog itself was an inch-and-a-half thick plug of congealed grease and various unknowns. I’ll need to get back to the weekly salt-and-hot water treatment of the pipes. I only mention the clog because the sight of it made the Mrs ill, which is understandable, but in the mess I needed something to be proud of and so the clog was my grail.
I also know now what lies beneath the dishwasher, having unmounted it in a fit of exploratory surgery.
floor soup. *crying face*
