  1. If a bad experience has a occurred i would think the person would try finding a solution before publicly bashing another member. This section should be full of positive feedback. But if someone tries a scam bashing is a good way to deal with them, after talking with a moderator about the situation. 

  2. Starting a thread where we can leave feedback on transactions and giveaways we encounter with other forum members. I'll start this with some feedback I have. 

     

    Big shout out to @Fletcher94, recieved a package from him today. He was easy to communicate with and fast on getting the package out. Really hooked me up with some goodies as well. Appreciate the kindness he showed, very grateful. Don't hesitate to do any transactions with fletcher94. He will treat you well.

    This was a call I was sent to on Thursday, to a trailer park that has seen better days, the old clay tile drains in the ground are one by one cracking and letting tree roots grow in, thereby making the sewer lines back up and spew waste out the shower drain while someone takes a shower and someone else flushes the toilet. The best part is there is no clean out pipe up to the ground to access the sewer pipes, so I have to take the toilet off if I want to try to clear the blockage.

    Heres my attempt to run the auger through, it's made by Sparten, self feeding and retracting, or I can control the feed by hand if I want. Uses a dc motor for direct drive on the drum and is reversible.

    I was unable to get the auger past a spot because they used a certain fitting where two 3" pipes dumped into a common drain, imagine a two way cleanout tee upside down and the auger kept going straight through instead of making the turn downward. I could see this fitting from under the trailer, by removing the skirting and poking my head under. To verify where I was and that my auger was going past the tee, I use the Ridgid Scout tracer device, it's a mighty fine instrument to track where a drain pipe goes.

    The "pill" is attached to the end of an auger and shove it through the pipe, I taped the pill here and shoved it through.

    It emits 512 Hz signal that is picked up by the receiver, I know exactly where it is and also tells me how deep it is, seen here where I tracked it going under the house. So I knew it was 2' 3" under the floor, right where I expected it to be.

    But, I couldn't get the auger to go where I wanted it to, and with no cleanout, we're going to get the mini excavator and start digging. At least with this park, I know about where the sewer runs, since I've done several others here before. Just another day in the life.

    Also if you have no cleanout pipe in your yard, just hope an auger can get through from your toilet. No pressure lol.

    Another note from your friendly neighborhood plumber; only what comes out of you and toilet paper should ever be flushed down a toilet

    Tell that to my kid!

  4. I had Legos, Lincoln logs, toy guns,  hot wheels and tons of other stuff too I'm sure.  I spent most my time riding/jumping bikes and racing competitively. Along with sports when they were in season. Built lots of ramps both dirt and wood. Az has Alot of dirt lol. Quads and dirt bikes when we were in our teens. But we shared since not everyone had one. Lots of junk ones we fixed up too. 

  5. My current every day is a 04 mazda 3 i bought for scrap and rebuilt with my brother in laws help. Sold my pick up a month ago and am gonna get a new truck. Then sell this mazda for some profit. Then after i do all that i might get a sport type car to tinker with. Already miss not having a truck so hopefully i find something good soon.
