Use a Cat Door to Turn a Closet into a Hidden Cat Box
Clever idea!

I didn't know Fiddler on the Roof was based on stories.
Most of them were originally published in magazines, and then collected into several books. Basically, a series of short stories about Tevye and his wife and family and the other people in his town. Fiddler on the Roof took the basic characters, and several of the plots of the short stories became subplots of the musical, and stuck a happy ending on one that didn't have a happy ending, and kind of mixed and matched bits and pieces to make a coherent story.
And don't forget the matchmaking. I would think you would know about that.
Oh, of course. The matchmaking.

Cool.
Oh, and the actual fiddler doesn't come from Sholom Aleichem at all -- he's from a Marc Chagall painting.

Hodel and Perchik?
I don't totally remember the details, but in the stories, one of the daughters committed suicide.
I didn't know any of that about Fiddler on the Roof. Interesting.
Re unclogging drains, there's a flat long thin piece of plastic with "teeth" on it that you stick down the drain and then pull back out, and all the gooky stuff comes out with it. I think it's called a Zip-it. I bought it a Lowes.
Zip its are cheap and usually do a great job. I think I still have one around here somewhere (they're disposable--I only use them once).
