My garbage disposal wasn't working today, so I did what I knew how to do.... use the wrench and hit the reset button. Still clogged. So I googled how to go further. That led me to a youtube clip on what to do if the wrench and reset button doesn't work.
It was funny because the video had a graphic at the head of the clip that read "Don't pay a BLEEPING plumber to fix your garbage disposal or remove clogs. "
Anyway, the clog was not at the disposal trap, but in pipes inside the wall. So it recommended that I use a pipe auger... A what? Anyway it showed what to buy at Home Depot, so I did..... and it took me about an hour, but I was able to bust open the clog and save a few hundred bucks..... at least according to what the guy on the video said.... which I believe because a plumber came out to my house last year for a clog and it was well over $100 for the repair.
Man, I love youtube.

I love You Tube too.
I dunno... it worked. And no pain, or matchsticks.
Anyways.... I don't even remember all the examples, but in my head I thought "Why don't they just Googl..... Oh yeah"
