My project got washed today, first time since I bought it in October, 2012. The bird droppings and bugs had become part of the white paint.

The trunk drains were both clogged. I found a great tool to clean them out, a plumbers snake! I have a 1/4 inch diameter snake. I removed the entire snake out of the tool as the business end was too large and I needed to use the small end.

I pulled back the side panels, pulled off the drain line from the top hole. Then carefully pushed the snake down to the blockage, about where the line goes through the air vent at the bottom. A few turns and light pressure and dirt fell on to the driveway. Repeated for the other side. Then I flushed with a little water from my hose.
