More on the sewage issue at my house. My sewer is clogged. Is it T-clog's fault? I can fill my share of toilets but for Pete's sake I don't think that I could fill a sewer.
Well after my call to the city sewer department last Saturday, a couple of my neighbors have called in too. They came and flushed it out with high pressure water jets on Saturday and Sunday. My troubles seem to be gone, but there is still some obvious problems. Sewer people from the city came out on Monday and searched the sewer lines near and around my house with a camera. What a sight to behold I am sure. Anyway, the city found a lot of tree roots getting in the way and they were blocking the traffic flow of poopy water. So they sent a tool down the sewer line to cut the roots and to free up the flow for future movements.
What happenend next is crazy! The tool broke off and is now stuck in the sewer line. When I got home from work yesterday I found that my yard was covered in many different colors. I had green, red, orange, blue, and bright yellow lines all over the snow in my yard. All of the utilities were out marking the ground. They are going to dig a huge hole down to the sewer to retrieve their tool and to finish clearing out my poop drain to the city poop plant. There will be an 11 foot deep hole in my yard tonight after school. If they are still working on it I will shoot some photos and post them. I am just happy that they will get it flowing free again. We don't need any road blocks impeading the progress of poop coming from the bear cave!

This is all really quite amazing.
And there are so many potential opportunities for remark, given your "history."
I will simply say: Only T-Clog.
If the door is open come on in and make a comment. I am expecting them. I think it is funny that T-clog had to have this episode. Why not someone else?
I'm guessing it's the cellulosic matter that goes down after, plus any specialty liquid absorbing products as I mentioned before.
Poop breaks down pretty fast...paper and weird man-made stuff, not so much.
ok, Clogger, here goes. Some will be better than others, but the challenge has been put to me:
1. The guy from the public works dept. says "Apparently, there's some tree roots in there, blocking the flow of poopy water." Cory says, "Man, now that's my type of forestry!"
2. The guy from the public works dept. says "We should have things back to normal in a couple of days." Cory says, "Never mind, can you just leave the 11 foot deep hole?"
3. Last night when Cory got home from work, his yard was covered in bright yellow lines. Then the guy from the Public Works dept. gave him a call: "Hey hey hey! What the hell are you doing? It's just the poop that won't go through!"
4. The workers leave the 11-foot hole down to the sewer line going to the city plant for the night. A mysterious figure emerges from the house shortly after 1 am, and descends down the hole with a "U" shaped PVC pipe.
5. I'm not sure what's worse. What's under the roots of these trees or what's under the roots of those trees in the gully at Ingawanis.
6. C-Clog recipe for root beer.
7. Haven't your past toilet clogs (and accompanying - probably causal - mounds of jammed up toilet paper) claimed enough trees already?
8. Not the first time a tool has been jammed down Cory's poop hole, I reckon.
9. Public works guys when they arrive to work the next morning: "Hey, where did our sewer camera go?"
10. The problem is between your house and the main line, but your neighbors called in, too? What have you got going on down there in CF - some kind of swingers club for toilet afficianados?
Brilliant! Wait until you see the photos coming later this morning. :)
