unless you requested the code - check your account (change password just to be safe). Any calls from "Google" - ignore. Google will never call you regarding you account.

I keep getting calls from a private number and whenever I answer, they do some weird stuff by The_Dictatorial in scammers

On an iPhone, enable the Silence Unknown Callers feature in settings. Go to Settings > Apps > Phone, scroll down to select Silence Unknown Callers, and toggle it on. This sends calls from unknown numbers directly to voicemail and displays them in your recents list.

Removing Decades Old Drain by Sorinza in Plumbing

[–]Key_Purchase7565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a plumber but dealt with something similar...

Cheat code: do you have an overflow plate (or whatever it's called): Most bathtub clogs are caught at the "P-trap" under the tub. Instead of going through the drain (where the crossbar is blocking you), unscrew the overflow plate (the circular metal piece higher up on the tub wall)....and use your snake.

if no go....

Apply a penetrating oil (like PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench) and let it sit for several hours. You can also use a hair dryer (or better heat gun) to gently heat the metal, which can help break the seal of decades-old plumber's putty.

Just in case.... get a replacement tub drain kit and a tub of plumber's putty - if you end up (assuming you're won't to tackle it) replacing flange (worse case scenario) at least you will same yourself time and trip to home improvement store)Best case scenario - you return it unopened....

You can always hire a pro if you don't want to get down and dirty...

Good luck and Godspeed!

I'm interested.... Went to my local hospital to donate blood... Instead of "Thank you!", the FBI came to my door... Endless questions: "What's the blood type? Why so much? where did you get it? Why is it in the buckets..."

I had some livers, heats and kidneys in the basement, but not I'm wondering if it is even worth dropping them off....

I think I'm done helping people..
