Longtime readers of my blog know that I have a special hobby of cleaning out sink drains and p-traps. Check out my home renovation label for some earlier examples. This time around, though, it wasn't just a random whim to go hunt some biogoo: our apartment bathroom sink was starting to empty scarily slow.
I have now far surpassed my previous record for grossest nastiest yuckiest foulest thing pulled out of a drain or p-trap:
For size reference, those (in)famous needlenose pliers are just under six inches long.
Our apartment building was built in 1935, but I would roughly place the pink sink (and toilet, and bathtub) in the 1950s era pink bathroom craze, during which this delightful website, Save The Pink Bathrooms, estimates that perhaps one in four bathrooms built in the era had pink bathroom fixtures.
Anybody want to hazard a guess on the last time this sink drainpipe was cleaned out?
