    Hi Ollie. I noticed in the last few videos that kookaburra is missing. Seems employee retention is low or the croc is a safety issue by eating all the birds. Looks consistent. If this keeps up , you'll have no employees left to feed, (which maybe a cost benefit that you have already analyzed ), but what a way to cull inefficient workers. Hang in there though, it maybe tough, but home grown employees are worth it in the long run.

    There's a thing among jetters. If you get your reel stuck in the pipe and have to call another jetter, they get your reel if they get it unstuck. It's like if you think your car is fast enough and race it and loose, you loose your car.

    In the states my friend had plumbing that was very old. From the alley 20 feet to the home Roto Rooter ran a rotary eel and hit a blockage then it wouldn't clear wouldn't clear then he pulled out the eel and said Damn that bent my blade. He tried to clear it again no avail. We dug it up and found that they used a Tee with a brick on the end and the eel didn't turn but was boring straight into the end capped with a brick. The Roto Rooter guy said man that's a tough clog. After we dug it up AH HE AAAAHEEE WOOOAAAHHHEEEE AH AH AH AH Ratty laughs when we call him back and say capping the end with a brick so the eel goes past the tee and doesn't turn yeah that's a real tough clog in the exterior line. The plumber said ha REALLY and laughed as we told the company what happened. There was Corn 🌽 and S soup for Ratty AHAH HEEAHHWOOOHAAAHAHEEEE AH. That one made me laugh with the brick.

    Why do they call him "Dirty Ollie"? Well, that's one thing about our Ollie, he doesn't play any favorites. Ollie hates everybody in the trades. Brickies, Bushies, Cockies, Posties, Drongos, Fishos, Milkos, you name it. Frank once asked, how does he feel about Jetters? Ollie (says with a wink) especially other Jetters. Then Frank asked him for help on this job and was worried Ollie wouldn't save his jetter head. Ollie replied, "You’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’ Well do ya, punk?” And now you know why they call him “Dirty Ollie”. He gets every dirty job that comes along.
