[@timw6596]

I'm 70 years old and my least favorite tool has always been the shovel but I have learned to just set your mind to digging to big of a hole over to small of a hole to begin with ! Great job and I would have used many bad words on this job !

[@nickcarroll8565]

I dont mind using a shovel, as long as there aren’t a ton of rocks. Sometimes got to get the pickaxe out for that. But if you keep your shovel harp with a file, it makes digging so much easier.

Thanks for another great video. I had to do a bit of plumbing the other day Ollie. Hot kitchen tap at home had come loose. Top hat washer had just disintegrated so isolated the hot feed to the tap, undone the back nut enough to replace with new top hat washer then tightened it all up again. Turned the isolater valve on and Bobs your uncle job done lol. No leaks or anything.

[@DrainAddict]

Well done mate!👍

[@butters_147]

My mother's bathroom sink is draining slowly again. I have to clear out the hair and whatnot every couple months. This is the first time I looked at it and said "blocked drain" in my best Ollie voice with my terrible Aussie accent. Hope you're having a great summer. 20 cms of snow tomorrow in my part of Canada. 🫣

OHH, I Love curb drains, you never know what will come out of them 😀 Thanks Ollie !!

[@budgiebreder]

I once had a plumber get stuck at my place in our storm drain. Cost him an hour of time and digging and it was their big camera stuck on a double 90 turns. They didn’t have a small one at that time. The following year we had the same plumber back to tend to our sewer and he had a different camera, we noticed and he went on to tell us a story of when he got his other camera stuck once and had to dig at a particularly hard to dig site where the earth was solid as a rock and it was so hard he had decided to get a second camera so he could see what was happening to get the first one free more easily. He had no idea he was at the same house till we were like “yeah thats this house” and he looked around shocked. We then walked him to the other side of the house (where he had got stuck) and the look on his face was hilarious as he knew the spot without question! Apparently our plumbing had been the final straw in him getting $7000 worth of camera. The spot he got stuck was about 1m into the pipe (if that) and only about 300mm down. Again it took him an hour to dig it (and he WORKED for that full hour to dig, it was like concrete dirt!) and thats coz our ground was just THAT hard.

[@georgebaumgardner3889]

Every time I watch you on a job like this Ollie, I find myself sitting on the edge of my chair actually having anxiety issues along with your endeavors to get the job done! You are indeed a Master drain technician!

[@2wiseib]

Hi Oliver - I have watched many of your videos and thanks to you I was able to sort out a blocked drain! Was the gully associated with the shower and kitchen drains and I had noticed a gurgling noise when they were draining and guess what a blocked drain..no corn sorry. I was able to run a flexible wire rope though and popped it - it is so satisfying to see the water just disappear - now I know why you like your job. No camera to check for the cause but hopefully the fix will last a while. Thanks again for your videos I find them strangely addictive!

[@SandpiperN121PP]

Once again Ollie has to clean up another plumbers mess. Fantastic job as always... and I enjoyed the Carly Simon song as well! 😀

[@geo752]

Could feel your frustration mate I was trying to pull that rod up with you, fixing other peoples mess. Good lob 👏👏👏

[@mtootm]

Hey Ollie, you should try putting an anti glare screen protector on your monitor. I doubt they have one specifically for your size of screen. Doesn't hurt to search. But you could just cut one to size from a tablet anti glare screen protector. Most of them will just be a plastic film with a matte finish on one side. It doesn't help in direct sunlight if the screen isn't bright enough, but it will definitely get rid of those annoying reflections.

[@croil67]

I like how Ollie commits to 1 pair of rubber gloves per job, even if they are just hanging off of his wrist by the end, never replaced. That is dedication.

[@funkeyfastdrawmonkey1483]

[@Rusty_Gold85]

Top job there mate . I have been watching an American deal with drain problems and they have real issue allowing houses to be built lower than the surrounding area or roads and water run across properties.Then they dont run storm water to the road either . The land engineering is lot to be desired with poor practices. At least in Oz we have a road system that takes water away from the land and you must pipe it

[@deconteesawyer5758]

It just seems odd that a resident of one of the driest places on the planet with major water problems would advocate and praise treating rainwater like waste to be disposed of, instead of retaining it onsite where it falls for as long as possible to percolate and recharge the severely strained and deteriorating aquifers upon which your very existence depends. Perhaps that reflects on the state of the Australian public school system mimicking that of the appalling US public schools.

Ollie, would a multi tool not be a decent purchase for situations like this? They'll cut through PVC pipes like it's nothing but with no spinning discs to cut into stuff you don't want to.
