Thank God for Gleco Trap!

OK, I usually would not do product endorsement, but I am truly thankful for this little contraption... When I got to the studio yesterday, the toilet and shower were doing this characteristic chug-a-lug sound. (Yes, I know I am lucky to have a shower in the studio bathroom.) 

Being the incredible handy-woman (not!), I have deduced that means it's time to change the Gleco Trap. Further clever investigation (like looking under the sink) verified my theory.

One quick-change later, we were back to normal (no chug-a-lugging), except that in the process of making the change... my plumbing connection had come undone and I hadn't even noticed! When I went to use the faucet sink, water spewed EVERYWHERE! Not the fault of my wonderful Gleco Trap. Definitely the fault of the potter!

Oh well, got it all cleaned up and managed to trim some of the plates on my long to-do list. Will have to reduce my big goals for today and stick to finishing the trimming, doing some deco on yesterday's work, and cleaning up the rest of the studio!

You know, I never wash anything in the studio: I just leave the tools crusty, the wheel dripping, and wipe my hands on an old towel before washing my hands--seems to work OK, according to the drains--BTW, I would love to see more of your sweet dog!

How often do you empty the Gleco Trap? I have one and have not cleaned it yet--afraid to, I guess! But I tink it is time. Gay

Gay, seems like it's about every 3 weeks... It's easy, really!... Gary, thanks for your comments about Mae. She is sooo sweet and very calm in the studio. I like her lots.
