A HOME REPAIR BLOG designed for women (and those that don't normally do repairs) who live in older style (or any type) home, or who have rentals—who simply no longer want to view home improvement projects as frightening but who realize they may on occasion be challenging—after all, any place can be a home once you hang your heart. The one thing that must be clearly understood however is that repairs must be done correctly to improve a home's value. If they can be done yourself, and at a discount, all the better. (Of course, knowing when to initiate Plan B (call a professional) – life at home can be serendipity.)

Drain Protector (Stop-a-Clog)

Article 10
That Old House Meets This New Woman
by P.K. Costa


We're already in February and if weather permitting home repairs will continue as well. I found a simple solution for clogged drains due to hair in older style homes, or in rentals with older plumbing. So anyone out there who can't yet replace the plumbing or who owns apartment complexes or has a rental -- anyone can benefit from this nifty drain protector. Using this saved us from having to call a plumber or having to snake the drain for well over a year now (in fact, the decision to consider purchasing one of these should be a no-brainer for any household with at least one person having shoulder-length hair). 

This little device catches hair -- not to mention whatever else that might happen to fall out of your hands while in the shower (I'm starting to sound like a commercial) -- but more importantly, no hair escapes the little built-in catch. And, it covers any standard size drain in your bathroom (such as tub, sink). 

These days due to the economy some repairs just have to wait, and sometimes replacing the plumbing is one of them -- this nifty anti-microbial doohickey will do the job until the other major jobs can be done, such as electrical or major appliances. It's a perfect solution for anyone with renters or anyone living in renovated homes with old-fashioned fixtures.

Stop-a-Clog Drain Protector to catch hair


I believe we picked our 2-pack up at a bath and body store for just over $5, however, I found a link by searching stop-a-clog on Amazon.com for just under $4 so they are out there in several locations.

Happy 2012 and hopefully with less headaches!
