My Dad would be proud!

Last night, while using the garbage disposal, I felt water hitting my leg. I looked under the sink and the pipe coming out of the garbage disposal had come loose from another pipe and water was spraying out (along with junk that was supposed to be going down the drain). Anyway, the other side of the sink had become clogged causing the area around the disposal to "come undone". Well, after using the plunger, then a drain product, then plunging again--the clog finally broke up. But the pipes were still not operational. I went to Home Depot today and got a piece of pipe that had clamps on both ends to put the pipe back together again. Of course, it was not the right size. So, not wanting to go back to the store, I went out into my garage and started scavenging around. I found 2 metal clamps, courtesy of my dad's old stash of whatnots, and a bicycle tire tube. I cut off a small piece of the tube and used it to connect the two pipes, securing it with the clamps. I don't mind telling you--I'm proud of myself for handling the problem. Yes, my dad would be proud.
