The kitchen sink was clogged and, wouldn't you know, I broke the garbage disposal. After adding chemicals and furiously plunging, ugly gunk poured out the bottom. Yuck!They're called 'garburators' here and my model is a Badger. Thankfully, disposer technology doesn't seem to be advancing. It appears that the exact same model is still sold. We've owned this apartment nearly six years and the device was probably an original making it another nine years older. I guess a garburator doesn't last as long as a refrigerator. On the new Badger, I hope all the holes and fittings line up. The only major difference I can see is that the one still in the box is made out of a lighter-weight metal. Go figure!
You could strew the innards of a PC all around the room and I wouldn't mind putting it together. I'm handy, but plumbing frightens me.
Mission accomplished and things are NOW going down the drain!
