Related: About this forumI hate plumbing. It is just dirty, hot and nasty
I finally tacked my slow drain with the snake and removing the trap. But, God I wish it was less intense of a workout in a confined space. I remember getting my snake oh over 25 years ago. It is a good snake, but I just hate all this. On the plus side I did save some quid if I managed to fix it. Otherwise, I will have to get the plumber with the fancy snake.

Plumbing work can be nasty.

then climbing behind the dryer to remove the vent and suck lint and crap out of there is bad, too. I live in Humid Central, so it accumulates water like clock work. Never a pleasant job.
Nor is fixing a toilet. Been there, done that, not eager.
