hello boyz, definately not a beddie topic but advice needed drastically. We live in a luvley little house on the side of a hill, the sewer line has a habit of getting blocked bout every 12 months, you can tell this has happened when you see what you ate for tea the night before, suddenly appear from the inspection openings and flooding the back door area with smells and evidence that sumone ain't chewing their peas and carrots properly, of course this happens whenever you flush the toilets.
Soooo ...... although I would like to say that this is not the case it is worse than I imagined !!! the sheet was piled about 4" high out of each I.O. So ..... hired a pipe snake this morning and merrily churmned away at about a months worth of digested food in the sewer line. Finally broke through the blockage and then tried to get the snake out. But snakey brokey (about 20 metres worth in the sewer line) soooo ... went and got a rescue attachment and away we went again, managed to hook onto the broken snake but now rescue snake is stuck too !!!!!
Soooo .... has anyone any tips on how to rescue rescue snake coz shes jammed hard, wont turn in the machine and now 26 meters worth of hired snake is stuck in sewer line >:(
I reckon shes jammed up against tree roots that have found their way into the line ....... bloody shite!!!!!! bluudy shite !!!!!!!!!!!!! busturd shite bluudy shite !!!!!! >:( >:( Plumbers, drain layers ?? anyone ?

Eddy u might have to measure how much snaky is up the pipe and pace it out then do a bit of digging at the end of the trapped snakey.
rip up a few pipes and pull the snakey out by the head.
watch it dont bite,
snakeys have a habbit of tryin 2 bite ya.
specially brown snakey,s ;)
hope this helps its the only way bro.
make sure u got someone home 2 hose u dawn after. :o

yeh bro, I been wrestling with the brown snake all day except when I went to look at the van in Rowville, said to the missuss on the way (we used her car) "geez your car smells like shit" she the good lady that she is told me that it wasn't her car that smelt she said that I had shit myself. Ah the familiar odour of human waste on ones shoes. Ya gotta luv the young people though, whilst mulching the muck in the sewer today, heard the familiar sound of the toilet flushing and got a nose full of juniors fresh masterpiece as it floated by >:(
yep think I gotta dig the snakey out, boy thats gunna be fun not. Betcha the boyz get away early tommorrow rather than offering to dig up the sewer, ah yep aint nuthin like the sweet smell of success when shes done but I think shes gunna be the horrid smell of something else before we get there

well last nite I was wondering how I was gunna get the snakes out, this morning I managed to retrieve the rescue snake and promptly returned the machine, the rescue snake and the broken cable to the hire centre, bit of a drama given that theres $300 worth of his equipment stuck in my sewer , funny enough there was no blame game, I told him his snake had a facture in the metal and thats why it broke and that I was stuck with a big bill to dig it out ! anyways he sez yes I should dig it out and return it to him, , now I'm thinking .... buga it leave it there and sell the house ;D
Anyways not much digging today coz it was raining, had a shot yesterday and its all rock hard clay! mite dig a little at a time till I find the sewer line. Not fun ..... now that theres 20 - 30 metres of snake stuck in the sewer I reckon it will take only 6 months to block up again so better dig and find it ..... ooorrrhh by the time I find it its gonna have a lot of juniors muck on it :(
hey Marty I saw that movie and yes Im thinkin thats gunna be me when I cut the pipe and theres no doubt that junior will add a masterpiece just as I finish cutting the pipe, yessirre you can back that happening >:(

ROFLMAO, id get some of those huge plastic bags they were wearing when it was pissing down rain while they were waiting for the stink bomb to clear from flushing the skunks out of the motor home. :D,

what the hell... is it busted dunny day?
i had to go over and replace my brothers toilet today after it had a small leaking problem and someone else tried to fix it and made it worse....
he had lifted the tiles in there except the toilet one as he was renovating and the smell of 30 years of piss was over bearing coming from the grout....
anyway i got it in with the help of a few Melbourne's and he was saved from using a bucket ;D
good luck with the snake... after putting up with the smell today i don't envy you.
-

man i dont believe it, this post is jinxed, just posted this video and the missus yells out from the loo,, the toilets broke stevo, i go in and have a look and the inside of the systen has fallen to bits, go figure ???
-
hey bro, where can I buy some of that new arse wipe? maybe that will put the boyz off using the dunny at home, probably not though coz they use a whole roll every day between two of them (the two boys not the two cheeks), I think they are precious about getting their hands near the walnut, poor darlings :P man ya shoula seen the blockage it was like a 20 metre long cigar packed solid in the sewer drain, had a look at getting my 'A' into 'G' when I got home from work today but can't get motivated to continue digging .... oh well its only a matter of time before shit city comes a knockin on the back door again :-\
Speaking of kiwi stories regarding faeces, we hired a camper van a coupla years ago to tour the South Island, at the end of the 2 week trip called into Christchurch motor camp to dump the toilet cassette, I found that the waste hose from the cassette makes a formidable weapon when whipped around in the air, seems lots of campers were not so happy with my antics of chasing my mate around the dump point flicking shite off the pipe at him, there were some casualties due to friendly fire as they walked by ...... woops

hey marty bro, nuh the saga continues ... had the hire place call in the other day looking for their snakey, wifey told them it was still stuck in the sewer if they wanted to get ot out .... looks like this is gunna be a drama when they start presurring me to return their snakey. started digging on saturday but quickly lost interest when I hit clay. all the while ......... (wierd background music starts playing in the background) ....... theres trouble brewing in the sewer .... snakey is lying still, silently but intently baking big brown compact cigar ...... everyday when toilet flush more cigar ....... then one day soon ....... cigar appear from sewer ...... new monster created by boyz who afraid to go near walnut ...... new monster much bigger and stronger than last monster cigar ... this cigar monster king of all sewer cigars .... this monster created like transformer ..... reinforced with steel sewer snakey ready to take over the world !!!!!! hwah hwah hwah (evil laugh) ........ :'(

ROFLMAO, Holly shit,
uy better divert the pipe eddy.
otherwise somethings gotta give. lol.
-
he he he yeah thought about diverting it to the neighbours fence line, I reckon its his gum tree roots thats got into the sewer drain, then again maybe not coz I got told by the previous house owner that the sewer mains runs on our easement but is 7 -8 foot under ground level so I gotta find our drop down point into the mains, whooooo its a dark secret about the sewer snake, its like knowing there is a cigar making monster lurking under ground thats getting stronger and more powerful by the day, and the day of reckoning is when it tansforms into a monster and forces its way up the toilet splashing water all over your arse as your sitting doing the business, then takes a massive bite out of your walnut with razor sharp steel teeth covered in cigar muck, then chases you as you run screaming to the ensuite looking for toilet paper coz ya just shit yourself OMG (scream) what if it really happens !!!!!!
