Well the raccoon is gone, and the trap that is now here has failed to catch the last 3 little fuckers. Jen and I went out two nights ago to Mijaries (our weekly dinner there) and when we pulled into the driveway all three babies were walking around in the front yard. They really stick together. They're all foraging for food and when we pull the car in they take off running. Well they run right into a walkway on the side of the house and then on into the back yard. Jen and I go inside and sit in the living room and watch them walk right past the trap. Oh well. But a few seconds later we lose them in the bushes. We're sitting in the dark and we move right up to the window so we can look around. I grab the flashlight and start to scan around the ground. Well i finally find them on top of the fence in a line walking along making their way slowly up onto the roof. There is nothing more entertaining to watch than a bunch of tiny raccoons bump into each other while trying to balance on top of a chain link fence. There were many many times that we thought one of them was going to take a dive and bring the rest of them along. So now the trap is in the front patio area waiting for them.

Then yesterday when i thought everything in this house had gotten bad enough.... all the drains plugged up. I was in the shower and before too long i was standing in a few inches of water. Well i get out of the shower, use the plunger a little and then just figure i'll go to the store and get some liquid plumber. Well a WHOLE BOTTLE of liquid plumber later, there's still no difference. I start to run around the house and thats when i realize that the drains are ALL clogged, not just the shower in the master bathroom. Actually when i run the water in the kitchen it starts to bubble up in BOTH showers and then soon the bathtub as well. So liquid plumber SUCKS. I run to OSH to get something INDUSTRIAL. Jen runs up front to the neighbors to ask them if they are having any problem. When i get back Jen tells me that they are not having any trouble at all. So i get to work. I found this product "INSTANT POWER HAIR AND GREASE DRAIN OPENER". This shit has so many warnings on the bottle its just gotta fuckin work. And the fact that its in a bottle that's also in a safety bag that has a sticker on it that says "GUARANTEED TO WORK". I really think it was the sticker that sold me. So i bought two bottles of this shit. I now figure that the clog is somewhere "downstream" of my bathroom, somewhere closer to the street. So i pour about 2 cups (yes i did read the directions) of the "INSTANT POWER" into the shower drain in my bathroom, which by the way is now flooded as well. About 20 seconds after i finish, Anna from up front knocks on our gate and says that she just realized that her daughters' shower was clogged. We talk for about a minute and decide that we'll call the landlord and let them get a plumber. She leaves and i sit down for about another 30 seconds. Now i just have to say that the directions on the INSTANT POWER say that you want to wait at least 15 minutes before you rinse hot water down the drain, or wait a few hours for a really bad clog. It had been less than 5 minutes and suddenly i hear all the drains in the house start to empty out. Now remember, a full bottle of liquid plumber and a hour of waiting didn't do shit! This stuff did the job in 5 minutes!!

It just so happens that my shower is directly next to the neighbors shower. That shower is used by 3 girls all with LONG hair. Hmm that's right where the clog was.

Now comes the great part. I started to look online for reviews of this stuff or any other information. The first thing i found was a set of instructions on how to make homemade TNT!!!! and this shit is one of the primary ingredients!!

Excellent blog! Thanks for the info - I was doing a search for "Instant Power" too! We weren't sure if we should try it - but I think you've convinced us!
