Pre-vacation

In true “K” family fashion, we seem to have a problem with going on vacation without any major issues.  (see here)

So, what would be any different from this time around, when we had 1 day before our family reunion?  Nothing.

I may have put a HUGE CHUNK of pot roast down the disposal. (A HUGE CHUNK = 1/2 a pot roast cooked)
I was cleaning out the fridge and when I went to put the chunk down, Spencer yelled (several times) “No mom. DON’T! It’s too big, don’t do it!”

So much for listening to my 6 year old. As the disposer was going, it started coming up the other sink. With Luke at basketball, I called my dad and he said that I would need to take apart the pipes below the sink. No problem. So, with the kids holding Luke’s player, we skyped as he showed me what to do.

Needless to say…it didn’t help. We took it apart 3 different times to run water down and each time it would come back up, so we knew that it had to be further down the line.

 

Luke ended up taking off the next day, Friday, and he unscrewed the pipe.  We rotor rootered it a few times going down the line, got some gunk up and flushed water down a few times.  GROSS! 

It worked!
