Have you your own septic tank or are you some class of townie?

gilgamboa · February 26, 2020, 9:51pm

Ha. Not a townie but on the main drainage alright

If the drains are dry you may as well buy a set of rods and work back from the first manhole, if that doesn’t work you may lift the toilets. Have you a kango by any chance?

@gilgamboa used to be a rugby player, he knows how to push shite.

That’s TFK there in a nutshell, @gilgamboa comes on looking for a handy bit of diy advice and a few mins later we have him off down to the tool hire place for a lend of a kango…zero to 100 in 5 mins

We all know anything is possible at this point, moving house might be the best option.

Lift all my manhole covers,start on one nearest mains,work back,( worm) when clear as you can judge,put a hose down ,flush all toilets a few times,change worm for roundy yoke ,then start on one furthest from mains,flush, flush,hose

Good advice there. Dyno rod it is!

Corksfinedtboy · February 27, 2020, 7:33am

TBH it’s easy peasy,buy the rods DIY and if you’re really lucky the neighbours will be delighted and ask you to clear theirs when needed ,no seriously it’s an hour at tops and the rods can be used to clean the chimney aswell

Lads, I’m looking for zebra wallpaper. It was in the showhouse of the estate so the little lady took a shine t9 it. But I’m finding it hard to source it . In fact impossible. I’m looking forward to assistance and abuse also. Any ideas anyone? Cc @Corksfinedtboy

Corksfinedtboy · March 7, 2020, 11:16pm

Argos?

glenshane · March 7, 2020, 11:22pm

I’m here for you

Juhniallio · March 7, 2020, 11:31pm

Thanks a million. It was actually pictures of zebras on the wallpaper as opposed to a zebra theme.

glenshane · March 7, 2020, 11:34pm

You give and you give and you give.

glenshane · March 7, 2020, 11:35pm

How cool is this??

glenshane · March 7, 2020, 11:36pm

Or this!!!

Juhniallio · March 7, 2020, 11:45pm

These are amazing. And thanks a mill. But a bit mental. There was loads of smaller individual zebras on the paper. Sin è is dòcha.

glenshane · March 7, 2020, 11:52pm

Just explain to her how I’ve gone to a lot of trouble, and that she should be grateful etc

glenshane · March 7, 2020, 11:57pm

How much do you love @glenshane ??

glenshane · March 7, 2020, 11:57pm
