Will I never learn

[Brengirl]

This afternoon I noticed a not too pleasant smell in the kitchen. I emptied the fridge disposing of all bits and pieces best dumped. Then decided that the freezer needed defrosting (and it is a big cabinet freezer) so got a duvet down to cover the contents while said freezer defrosted. In the meantime the smell was still hanging in the air so started to investigate the plugholes. They were decidedly grotty so filled them with bleach and bicarb and boiling water. The smell persisted so studied the under sink plumbing. Off came one pipe and then another what a load of gunge. Eventually all the piping was removed and cleaned. What a sense of relief SORTED! Then came the task of reassembling it. A bit like a Rubik puzzle. So that's where I am at the moment....contents of freezer defrosting on the kitchen floor awaiting action. The sink is inoperative so I have poured a glass of wine and decided to have a moan.

Sounds like a good idea Bren. BTW, have you ever disconnected the u-bend under the sink and then poured a bucketful of water through the sink to flush it (without having a bucket underneath to catch the water) I have.

[Brengirl]

Very nearly Rusty..today even. Gerry was under the sink. I picked up the tray of defrosted water and Very nearly did it.

Ive done that, cleaning out the inlaws piping and had a bucket under the sink catching all the water and rubbish etc then poored the entire contents down the sink. hehehe although didnt learn as after clearing up washed my hands in the sink!!!
