And the thread about cleaning out pipes in the drain goes down the drain. Well, now that the gate's open, guess my long hippie hair was the source of the problem.

Maybe, but even my short straight guy hair clogs 'em too. Hair is the natural enemy of drains—ask any plumber.

As far as snaking a drain goes, I've had my best luck going down the roof vent if it's a single story, and you have access. It's usually a straight shot down without traps and stuff unless you had a creative plumber do the install.

Probably N/A here. Didn't have all that much trouble getting the snake down there. Just had to learn that patient, slow cranking with moderate steady pressure will eventually catch and get past any difficult places.

I hear the short curly hairs are the ones that wrap around the pipes and cause all the trouble.

What's the last sound heard before one of those short and curlies goes down the drain?

In my old high school "the sea creature" (that;s what the kid was called) flushed a blockbuster down the toilet ans it blew in the drain and started a massive leak. We were in the bleachers smoking heavilly opiated pot and drinking 100 proof scotch and "the creature" claims he did it. Those were the days when school was cool and all the cool students were stoners.

I bought a complete kit on eBay a couple years back. Best $200 I ever spent...has paid for itself a dozen times over.

I've seen those that use .22 blanks.

I got a hammer that uses those. It'll drive a 3" nail into cement with one whack. Please use hearing and eye protection.

Snakes in a Drain! AAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhh!
