Plumbing Foo'
On Monday I was taking a shower and started noticing that the water was going down slowly. I opened up the drain and there was a wad of hair almost as big as Abi. Well, taking out that chunk of hair apparently cause a cascade effect because once I pulled it the drain stopped up completely and I got the bonus of taking a bath with my shower.
So off to Lowes I go to get Drano and after inspecting several bottles I can't help but notice the bottle on the bottom shelf. It was a black bottle and the thing that caught my attention was the fact that it was in a protective plastic bag. Now I'm thinking "that's gotta be some good shit" and start reading what the it is in between the 800 poison and warning labels. Low and behold it's sulfuric acid for unclogging drains. This is the stuff in chemistry class you would have to wear all kinds off protective clothing to use so I just have to have this now.
So I take it home in the process of 2 days end up killing everything inside of the drain as well as a few whales that will get a whiff of this stuff when it drains to the ocean. It was pretty fun to use though because it sizzled when it hit the water in the drain. I could just see the conversation of my wife explaining to the firemen why her husband exploded in the bathroom "he said he got some awesome stuff and then I heard a loud pop".

Joe recently purchased this stuff too...the instructions say to put something like a baking sheet over the drain in case of lye explosion. Nice!
