sh** stream
About 5 months ago I noticed the main sewage outlet from my house, which goes to a septic tank, fractured due to expansive soil - constant contraction/expansion cracked the 3" ABS main right before it goes subterranean. I put a wrap patch on it figuring it would hold since it's not a pressurized line. And it did hold, quite well actually, for several months. Then it fractured again, big time. It must have happened a couple days ago because I now have a considerable pile of feces and toilet paper and hair on the ground outside my house with flies buzzing 'round. I'm taking a break from the digging portion of the repair just to share with you the joy I'm having.
Truthfully, I'd much rather do a clutch R&R.

****! (sorry chucker, pun intended lol). I guess that's one of the benefits of living in third world countries. I can hire someone and pay him almost nothing to do that.

Aside from getting **** in my boots, worst part of the job was Home Depot.
It's cool now. Flex joint ftw.

Definately a nasty job. Yeah, you first need to run water until it goes clear. A load or two of white laundry with detergent and bleach makes the job much less disgusting, though still no joy.
But at least it was your own. I can't imagine that kind of job at a stranger's house.
