Garbage Disposal

Upon moving into the farm house we discovered, much to my chagrin, that our kitchen sink seemed to have a much larger drain then we were used to. How did we discover this? Things started ending up in the knives of our disposal. Sippy cup lids for one example. Today after supper I was told that a piece of my wife's mixer had fallen into the jaws of this disposing machine. I had to detach this piece of equipment from the sink in order to work on it. I was able to retrieve the mixer part and the disposer is still working. This is not a job I like to do but I must admit the praise on receives after completing the task makes it all worthwhile.
