snakes in the sewer

[eddy]

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.

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 

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.  ,

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 

good luck with the snake... after putting up with the smell today i don't envy you.
