I can fix anything with duct tape and a can of beer.

Yes, that was my husband's actual statement. And yes, I believe it. What, pray tell, could he possibly be fixing with duct tape and a can of beer? Why, the bathroom drain of course. Let me back up a little in the story...

Our upstairs bathroom has a slow drain. You have to physically push the lever down to get it to drain quickly. Not so handy when one is doing things like cleaning the tub or, in the this instance, giving the kids a shower. Hence the need for something heavy.

Backing up to just a few minutes ago, my husband is frantically looking around for something heavy, and this being my house, a can of beer is what he ran across. Then off to the garage for duct tape to keep the beer where the weight does its magic and voila! A shower and not a bath for the kids. Let me pause to go take a picture...

Ah, I can feel everyone's jealousy that I am married to the true MacGuyver...

Oh believe me, we'd never let that beer go to waste. It just had a special job to do before it was drunk...
