After a year or so of feeling the pain of calling plumbers each time a guest clogged their toilet, I figured that it would make a lot more sense to learn this skill and save us money. Easy may not be the best way to describe plunging someone else’s backed-up poop and even worse doing it on a regular basis. However, in the early days when things were pretty tight, it was either do-it-yourself or suffer somewhere else, like not being able to afford a well-needed vacation after constantly caring for other people on their vacation. I decided it was time to learn.
