Although we seemed to get the clogged toilet and the clogged kitchen sink drain problems fixed, there was still the dishwasher issue -- as the draining of the dishwasher was still clogged, and so the backup water would come out of this spout here.
I got tired of holding the cap down so the water would come out the two little slits in the metal, instead of at the bottom where it was not affixed tightly enough to the sink, just waiting for the water to come out so I could guide it into the sink. This little makeshift contraption here was what made it possible for me to leave the dishwasher on when we left for the airport.
I put duct tape around the base so water wouldn't leak there, and wedged books between the metal cap and the tiny outcrop of that counter to keep the cap from flying off. And the water went straight into the sink!
Nikki noted that the books would get all wet, and that's why I wrapped the bottom two with suran wrap.
My contraption worked perfectly. Now all I need to do is figure out how to get the dishwasher to work properly without this being necessary . . .
