You think the Coke trick is neat? This worked for me when I had a blockage in the kitchen. . . I knew my dishwasher PUMPED its waste water out into the kitchen sink's drain pipe. So I ran the DW without dishes but with its detergent and when it started to drain I plugged up both kitchen sink drains with whatever was at hand (their "strainers" wrapped in heavy plastic, I think) and pushed these down tightly when the DW started to drain and BINGO the blockage was pushed down and the water all went out that had backed up in the sink earlier. Now if I could get the DW to operate on really hot Coke . . . well, I'd SELL the idea! :-) Wait a minute, THIS isn't the PlumberMagic hotline!! I'm lost! Sorry all you PD guys, whoever you are. Hmmm, what does PD mean? Plumbing-Disadvantaged? Can you folks help with some advice, ideas, or - fun! Uncle David ____________ On Fri, 23 Aug 1996, V. R.
