I installed a new garbage disposal today. My old one kept getting clogged and I would buy drano and soak it and nothing would change so I'd do it again. Eventually the drano began to corrode the disposal to point that it would not work. It took a lot of hammering to get the old one out, with a little blood and lots of sweat but I got it out and cleaned up the mess. When I peaked inside I saw a plastic cap (like for a whipped creme can) jammed inside near the drain exit. Suddenly all became clear and I realized that my putting drano into my sink was only making a bad situation worse. These days I feel like I am queen of making things worse simply because I don't understand the root cause. I am left wondering if the only way to fix things is simply to start all over again with something brand new.
It was a very frustrating day and I felt very alone for most of it. I was out way too late and woke up way too early, so I am pretty sure I am in need of a good nights sleep. Other than replacing the disposal, I got a nice swim in. I went out to eat and went for a couple of walks, but today could not end soon enough.
