deal with other people's shit i mean?

i just had to replace the outlet between my khazi and the soil stack and it was fucking grim. i've only been drowning little brown kids in there for 6 months out of probably 20 years of use, so it was only a very light coating of my own faecal matter and mostly someone elses which is not a pleasant thought.

how do you do it, day in and day out? is it the love of the job , or just the money?

i find the lack of pictures for radders ..disturbing

hes not going to be happy with you at all

 

My dad's best mate is a plumber and loves the job.

 

I've had to change the siphon on the upstairs toilet (it's close coupled so I had to remove the whole pan to replace it) - not nice when I know what me and my bro have put in it! At the same time I had to change the waste pipe and float valve on the downstairs toilet which was equally grim (the smell coming from the sewage hole was fucking horrible).

I asked a friend of mine how he does it for a living and he said that most of the time it's clean, but he has been asked to fix some fucking horrible stinking toilets as well!

Like everything, I guess you have to take the rough with the smooth!

you havnt done a gril job untill youve had to clear blockages on a back stack pipe on a set of urinals.

now that is a shit job and really does stink.
but when u get paid 600 quid to run a router down 4 of them 1 saturday morning its not so bad.

 

were theres sh*t theres money, as the sayin goes, well thats what i tell myself everytime i have to work on one, and then hit em with the bill! and it makes it all worth while

 

and i thought cleaning out the shower filter thingy was a cack job!!!

theres you lot going on about 'poking peoples shit' (gays, dont read that the wrong way - im completely straight)

 

Indeed.. im not

 

i remember when i had to renew a 4" lead soil branch through the wall as it was blocked solid,i chopped through it outside and the shit started oosing out in big dollops and running all down the wall,that was a bad one as the property had been empty for a few months so it was festering nicely

 

as a rule i dont do much of this work i mainly fix central heating but.....
i got called to a blockage on an internal soil stack(shitpipe),
the house had 6 people in it and it had backed up to the upstairs loo...
i went outside and rodded back from the manhole.......spladoush!!!!
2 weeks worth of everything smelly coming my way!!!!
it filled and overflowed the manhole and went down the path!!!!

but as they say where theres muck theres money!!

 

@ festering

plumbing as far as i'm concerend doesn't involve anything other than getting water to the washing machine, for the poo jobs there is always a bucket of water
