Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

Plumbing issues suck!

We have had slow drains in this house since I bought it.

I sure wish I could come help out.

The funny thing is before they came out and scoped the pipes I was convinced my father was flushing socks down the toilet or some other crazy thing... It seemed like every week the toilet was backing up or the washer wasn’t draining properly. Such a Pain in the rear end!

Lololol, I blamed my wife’s flushable wipe things that girls love too. lol

That is terrible. Btw, the 5 gallon bucket with a camping toilet topper and clumping cat litter isn't bad.

The good ole thunder bucket or honey pot

It’s not really “fun”, sad people find it fun because it temporarily acts as a stimulant until it’s effects become more of a depressant. The commercials you see on tv and party scenes in movies are the stimulant. Once the depressant part kicks in, it’s not fun, your problems seem to be worse than before you started drinking, but if you have a drink, they will go away from the short term stimulant effect. It’s a vicious cycle. Once you do that for awhile your body becomes physically dependent on it, you will get physically sick if you have no alcohol, start to have seizures, throw up, it’s awful. I had 60% liver failure 4 years ago and less than a year to live, I fricken hate alcohol now lol.
And I’m not allowed to go to Canada because of it!!!! Bad news all around ! Lol

Alcohol takes such a toll on the body. My ex-girlfriend died at the age of 36 because of it. She kept relapsing and doing more damage to her liver. I couldn't watch her slowly die anymore. Alcohol is a heck of a drug. I had my own problem with chemicals, glad it wasn't something so socially acceptable and easily available like alcohol.

Hello,

@Hemmdog that would ruin my week knowing they have to do that to my home. Be easier to take a wrecking ball and send it in the path of the pipe. But I’m curious, instead of ripping the house up, why not build a new main around your house? Granted they would build the other first then route lines to your existing ones. But it seems like they are doing this the cheapest way possible for them. Maybe I’m missing something but the damage they will cause your home is almost like a renovation.

We had a main line clog 6 years ago it was over 50 Clorox wipes. The ex thought you flashed them.

Hello,

It does take a huge toll on the body in excessive form. A glass of wine here and there is no problem it’s moderation. I was only asking because I’m actually allergic to alcohol so have never been able to even taste it. Probably a good thing since I’m addicted to cold milk lol.

I believe only in excess. I dont have any actual knowledge, just personal experience.

I'm so sorry. Big hug.

@Hemmdog. That's rough. I have a coworker that experienced the same thing and proceeded to cut down every tree on his property at the time they fixed the sewer. Can they not do the liner repair process because of the misalignment?

Aww, thanks!

So, I wasnt going to pick up any more frags until after the 20 long is up and running, but I lied to myself. My lfs, Your Reef, had these candy cane frags and I couldn't help myself.

Todays tip:

Go to Dollar Tree and get a scrub buddy sponge bottle brush. Works really well cleaning the skimmer neck!

When I moved in, in my property disclosure it stated the septic(I'm rural, what's a sewer?) tank was pumped out and shortly after being pumped the house was vacant for 2 years before I moved in. A few months after moving in I had slow draining sinks and the toilet would back up into the bathtub. Not a pleasant thought of septic waste backing up into the place where you clean yourself.

Everyone was telling me I needed to call a septic company out to pump the tank... I ended up digging up the tank and removing the lid(nothing prepares you for the first time you pull the lid off a septic tank) and it was clogged with... flushable wipes. Yep, my girlfriend at the time was using them and they all stopped right at the entrance to the tank. Broke that mess free and it's been fine for three years now. I got rid of the flushable wipes, and eventually her too... lol

Yea, I think that’s why they have to do a trench.

I really think I am because I have been taking input from people as to what they want in a store. Yes, it'll be ours but, I want people to want to hang out and have fun there as well.

Not your typical LFS. Actually gonna have seats around the shark lagoon. ;Wideyed
