Clog update

We seem to have lost the battle but gained intelligence necessary to winning the war. Mr. Samoa dismantled the plumbing under the sink and determined that it was not in the house, but rather in the plumbing under it. Now, we don't have a basement, we have a crawl space. So, it was necessary for Mr. Samoa to don his coveralls, wedge himself under the house and go in search of the cleanout port for the sink.

Which he found. But, alas, he also discovered that the misbegotten thing is made out of cast iron and has rusted shut. So, it will be necessary to procure another LCC, one that melts rust, dump it on there, and THEN we can go in and, at long, long last, get the clog out of there. The good news is that Mr. Samoa did manage to stuff himself through the access hole, twice, without getting stuck. There was concern that he'd have to telecommute from under there, but he is out and fine, albeit a trifle muddy. Now, to procure the LCC. We will not be defeated!!!
