Ain't no sunshine till it's gone

After searching the forum posts, I realize the toilet is clogged. And a snake is the only solution. Question - how do you get the snake into the toilet drain?

Thanks!

With THAT snake, the answer is YOU DO NOT. At least you do not unless you want a toilet with deep scratches on the bottom.

Now, that song is stuck in my head, lol.

Well, first, you clean the toilet up nice and shiny before you post a pic in a public forum.

Seriously though, I believe I've seen somewhere, a type of "sleeve", that you insert part way down the throat there to protect the toilet from the snake. Can't remember where, or what its called. Perhaps Google.

K, Better Artie?

Get yourself a closet auger. It has a bend and a protective sleeve. Next step if that doesn't work would be to pull the toilet and either try to dislodge whatever is in the toilet from the bottom, or use the easier access to get down the drain.

If you can find the version by Isaac Hayes, from the Live at Wattstax album... amazing.

The full 17 minute version, I mean: just checked, and Google will offer you a bunch of free listens, but they all start 1/2 way through...

Yes, and he gave a big kiss on the lips afterwards to show his appreciation.
