    When the rocks started flying, DA and I were saying “wow” at the same time. 😂 Didn’t expect those rocks to come spewing out. I also said to myself, I bet DA is going to hose down those windows after he’s done. Sure enough. He’s the best. And he has the best channel on RUclips. Cheers from Florida.

    Fiber optic cameras are amazing. I can't imagine how much extra work drain clearing used to be before their invention. A lot of guesswork and property deconstruction probably had to be used back in the day to figure out the problem.

    I like that there's a drain in the middle of the bathroom so at least the piss/kitchen water overflow isn't running out into the rest of the house.

    Something special lined up for Blocked Drain 500, like jetting the 3.6km long outfall from Sidney Water's Malabar Treatment Works? Or how about arranging a tour of the works.
