Plumbing in the Dark

I earned my Blind Handyman merit badge yesterday.  Plumbing by faith- you should try it.

When I turned on the garbage disposal, both sides of the kitchen sink backed up with nasty water! Ug!  The plunger didn’t do the trick, so I got under the sink and applied my nonexistent plumbing skills.  As I took apart the U pipe, what did I find? A salad shooter!  Filth and muck shot all over me!

            After detaching and cleaning pipes, then reattaching and testing them, there was still a clog somewhere.  I went through the process again and found a rodent sized vegetation blockage, with my fingers.  Yuck! Braille sure comes in handy while plumbing in the dark!   

            I put everything back together and it worked!  I was a plumber.  I plumbed.  Although covered in muck, I felt very accomplished.
