So one day you're just chilling on the counch and suddenly your wife tells you "hey the sink isn't draining anymore"

Your response, you go to the store buy some draino and call it a day. Sink is unclogged yay. But wait, your outside minding your own business and then you hear a stange noise coming from the basement you know the kind of noise that sounds like water being poured on top of concrete the wasing machine is no longer draining and is dumping water all over the basement floor. Whoo hoo what to do now, 2 bottles of draino later. Low and behold its still not draining. Solution rip out the sink drain and snake the pipe and pray. It just so happens in this house the washer and sink share the same drain. Gee I wonder why its clogged up. Even worse those drains that share are not vented to outside air at and these pipes are old as the house (90 years)

So a few hours later the repair looked like this.



Its not permanent by any means I'll end up re-doing it when we rip out the kitchen later on next year. I just had to share the story.
