... that's just not my trade. Post a coin that relates to your trade.

    I make training videos and do video conference support. Dunno if there's a coin for that either..

    I work for a company that makes automotive filtration devices. Not sure if I've ever seen a coin on that subject.

    Considering I am a plumber by trade, I think a "potty dollar" would be appropriate but I do not have one to post.image

    It just so happens that my wife called me two nights ago and said that both sides of the kitchen sink were not draining, something was wrong, to expect a problem when I got home. My first question... did you pour grease down the drain? Her solution was lots of bleach and soap to fix the problem.image Do not call the wife for DIY plumbing!

    I get home at 2AM to see that yes, the sinks are full of soapy bleach water and dirty water. Glad she did not find the drain cleaner (Sulfuric acid) to add to the miximage After bailing out the two bleach infested sinks I was able to remove the P-trap. Yep, I guessed it... total blockage of solidified grease. Some just never learnimage

    Plumbing is not my trade but I don't like giving away portraits of Franklin if I don't have to.

    I'm now wondering if that whole 1793-1857 set of Large Cents member coinpictures posted might have been part of a floor that was refinished image

    I feel your pain on that, my mom dumped a nearly full container of 5 year old metamucil down the drain. It solidified into a 10 inch long clog in the trap. I will never understand why she didn't just throw the container in the trash. She also has this annoying habit of dumping candle wax into the sink when candles get too liquidy. Had to go searching for a wax plug in the pipes a few years back.

    Looking to have some custom cuts or plain custom cards built? PM me.

    Years ago I'd tried to fix a clogged drain using a leaf blower. I went in the basement and unscrewed a cleanout mid way up a 5 inch pipe in the wall near the first floor bathroom. We'd just had our new baby girl, and my wife was holding her and walking near the bathroom when I hit the switch...Bad idea...It blew up the toilet, sink, and shower drains...Stuff spraying and flying all over the place...even covered the 9 foot ceiling. She was screaming but I couldn't hear anything cause the blower was very loud. When I shut it down, I knew I'd messed up because there was water coming through the floor on my head...

    She was a bit mad and I spent the rest of the night at my neighbors house. I entered the story in a contest on the fluidmaster website and won the grand prize..$500
