    Completing basic plumbing tasks is one of the more rewarding DIY experiences. It doesn’t take long, and it doesn’t take many tools, but the results can be day and night.

      I once was the person doing general maintenance at a bar, and there was a lot of raunchy shit. But the one I almost couldn’t finish was unclogging a drain by opening the trap.

      I was less nauseous than when I was trying to unclog a puked in urinal.
