If he didn't, does anyone else have any ideas. I haven't
been able to snake it out yet, and I'm not sure any of
those chemicals (like Drano) will work on steel wool.
It has two toilets, two sinks, and a bathtub clogged right
now. Fortunately, we have one other set of plumbing that
drains past wherever the clog is, but I'm afraid we are
going to push it to a point where everything backs up.
What a wonderful weekend for company.
The turkey was good, though. Calmed everyone right down.

Larry,
Sounds like the best bet (assuming the steel wool is in fact still stuck in
the toilet and not further down the drain pipe) is to take the toilet
completely off (make sure before you do that you have one of those wax
rings). Once you have the toilet disconnected from everything take it
outside on your lawn, turn the toilet upside down and snake your garden
hose down through the opening (works best the higher pressure hose you can
get) and turn the water on full. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes
of working with it to get the steel wool to at least get to a point where
you can pull it out by hand. I've dislodged many a toy and various other
paraphernalia using this method .

precise orbit long before it so shone. We are likewise placed in human
orbits to illuminate. Divine correlation functions not only in the cosmos
but on this planet, too. After all, the Book of Mormon plates were not
buried in Belgium, only to have Joseph Smith born centuries later in
distant Bombay. (Elder Neal A. Maxwell, Conference Report, Saturday

My cousin, a civil engineer who's about a decade older than me, eventually became director of water works for the City of Calgary. He summed up his whole degree: " flows downhill.
