Home repairs

Problem #1  The kitchen sink has been clogged for about a week.  I've tried Drano twice with no luck.  (And sadly, that is the extent of my plumbing skills.)

Problem #2  The dishwasher was making a racket this afternoon.  I mean it usually sounds like a freight train running through the kitchen, but this was even worse.

Dan has been working on both problems for about 5 hours now.  When he started he just needed a new plug for the trap because the old one was rusted and corroded.  Of course he ended up replacing the whole unit because the thingamajig connected to the whatchamacallit broke.  Then in the process of replacing them, the thingymabob on the whatsit cracked...
First a trip to Rona and then a trip to Home Depot because the guy at Rona sold him the wrong part...Home Depot, of course, didn't have what he needed.  Looks like we won't have a sink until Rona opens again tomorrow.  Poor Dan.  As if that's not bad enough, he has to deal with the paparazzi too.

I can't believe he's still smiling.
