Kitchens and whatnot

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh, there's a leak under my kitchen sink. And it seems to be coming from the garbage disposal area (which I never use, but the drain I use flows through it), which means I'm not comfortable just learning something and fixing it myself.

Which means now I have to call my landlord and get the maintenance guy out here, which means I have to step up my cleaning efforts so I don't look like such a grossy gross pig person, which is hard to do when MY SINK IS LEAKING. I predict a lot of dishes sitting in the oven.

just scrape/wipe the food residues off the dishes, then get a bucket of water from the bathtub or something and wash off the dishes in that. i think you could flush the water from the bucket when you're done. rinse everything by dipping it into another bucket and stack them in the drainer.

And if you're worried about germs, put a little bleach in the rinse water.

Good point--though tbh, I was really just thinking about getting the obvious gunk off them so they didn't evoke gasps of horror or worse yet, attract swarms of roaches.

Used to have to wash plates and stuff when in the girl scouts and no hot water around, so I hear you. At least you don't have to hang them on a clothes line to dry?

Re: Kitchens and whatnot

You mean like in a string bag? I think I remember that illustration in our Girl Scout handbook.

Re: Kitchens and whatnot

[hands4healing]

Actually, since a lot of our girls had plastic plates, we actually hung them from the clothes line.

Decorate with something creepy Haloween style, troll the repairperson a bit. ;)

Now I just pictured OP putting a skeleton under the sink. And then the repairman arrives, OP's like "so THAT'S where I left the body!", scaring the repairman and the landlord forever.

Re: Kitchens and whatnot

[solticisekf]

I legimately laughed. I hope OP'll do something along these lines.

I feel the exact same way -- there's gonna be some big radiator repair/switch going on soon where I live, and I'm going to pieces about how messy my whole apartment is, will I manage to clean up in time, etc. However! I've worked in that position myself, and you know what? I didn't give a damn. As long as no one is getting hurt due to your messiness (like fishes dying in an uncleaned aquarium or something), it was fine.

Also? Be nice to them! Don't stand around staring as if you're afraid they'll steal something. Instead, offer them something to drink or maybe give them a bag of homemade cookies for their break. People who treated me and my co-workers like that got free work in return.

Just wash 'em in the sink like usual, and put a tub or something under the leak. No worries. Just so long as the sink area is clean/empty when the guy comes so he has room to fix it and can run water without reaching around dirty pots.

Good luck!
