How to Rescue a Ring from the Sink Drain
Your engagement ring just slid down the kitchen drain. Bring back your bling with these easy steps:
1. Turn off the water. (The main valve, under the sink--not just the faucet.)
2. Place a bucket under the pipe trap (the U-curve that the pipe under the sink makes before it goes out the back wall).
3. Use a wrench to loosen the large nuts on either side of the trap.
Once they're loose, remove them by hand and pull the trap off the pipe, dumping it and its contents into the bucket. Your jewelry, along with a little water and a bit of crud, should be right there.
4. Replace the trap and tighten the nuts, first by hand, then a final quarter revolution with the pliers or a wrench. Do not overtighten.
