    That root looked like a bull whip. We've said it before about some plumbers not thinking about the future, when things go wrong. I'm sure you can get 45 degree bends, but I suppose cost comes in to play. Had a bad day, had to take one of my dogs for the long sleep, cancer had him. He was called Snoop and was a very vocal dog, not loud, just a moaner. Thanks for posting, it made me smile, regards to you and family, be safe and well 👍

    Another classic of how long is my drain root . Is it me or do house builders purposely put trees & large rooted plants next too houses .
    It seems to keep you busy & us entertained. But I really think trees next too houses is daft.
    But keep them videos coming enjoying watching in the uk

    Umbrella Tree also known as Schefflera. Common house plant in USA. I have two i’ve had for 30 years or more. Easy to grow. Wish we could grow them outside here. ❤❤ Toad is looking a bit rough. 6:54

    It still amazes me the amount of roots that can grow inside of a waterline. I continue to learn so much. I am starting to detect subtle changes in the sound of the nozzleheads as you pull and push them through the lines. It's quite a learning experience. Until the next one...see ya Gavin.

    Maybe this can help solve those "sharp" bends:
    take a length (you decide) of 35-50mm PVC pipe and glue a "slow" 90degree bend on it. Cut the tube (not the bend) in half (length) long enough to feed your hose through it comfortably. The bend inserted into the pipe should protect your hose..... Have fun!
