MP101 and REDWOOD, Thanks for your advice.
As you can tell I am NOT a plumber.
Just a guy trying to do a job.
I have done some cool stuff over the last 2 months plumbing wise though.
Tiled a bathroom(over concrete slab), leveled it out first, Replaced a broken toilet flange, installed shut off valves for the water supplies in the room since none existed(guess they werent available in 1950...lol), added a new toilet, and a new sink.
The sink had the same issues as the other I just completed repairing at the house being sold.
The extension pipe from the wall corroded.
Anyway- I feel more confident about my skills and would just like as much support as possible.
I am definately a do it the best I can guy.
I was given advice to use a rubber connection to connect a messed up wall conection to the trap, but it didnt sound good to me.
I spent an hour or so and go the mess apart to get the job done right.
Same thing here.....
I want to run through for the clog.
I picked up a slightly more industrial snake. actually hooks to my drill for quicker application.
MAY ALSO HAVE MORE CLEANING POWER(Hopefully).
I will post an update later.
BUT about the clean out plug.
As a home owner, I would surely like mine to work and be removeable in case I needed to access it.
If they are frozen in place, couldnt you drill it out.
I am just thinking if I put a giant hole in the center/side ir multiple holes to allow me to remove it.
Is this at all an option?
I would then reinstall a nice new one and the new home owner would have easty access in the future.
Opinions?
For now- I am gonna liquid wrench it while I finsih the cleanout of the 2 remaining rooms.
Somone suggested giving the actual plug about a minute worth of steady blows with a 3 pound happer?
Maybe to loosen the joiint...
Good/Bad idea?
As far as I am concernded- I will try the plug a bit more while vising the house for other stuff.
If all else fails, Friday we will have a plmber come in...
Its not about the money so much as trying to do it, so I have the knowledge and experince for next time.
MANY things I know how to do are from doing it the harder way the first time...
