    Added some SureFoot traction paint to the bow of the river boat. Rivers here should start breaking and opening up in 3-4 weeks. Cant wait for some good Alberta river boating.

    Stepped out of the shower to a bathroom full of water.  Cleaned it up.

    Flushed the toilet, it backed up.  Cleaned it up.

    Threw the wet towels in the washer to clean all of the towels.  It backed up. 

    Idiotic diagnostics. Lol

    Drain techs en route.  
    last time i lost all drains like that it was from a drip in one of the sinks, the slow drip froze the line solid at the first outside elbow

    Sorry to hear about your plumbing issues @Focker. Hope it’s minor. I had more than my fair share at our old place. They are no fun on the wallet either.

    @Focker bum deal.  Hopefully it is a simple snaking and your good to go.
    Thanks, means a lot guys.  He snaked it from the house out, and we are good to go.  Said he felt one spot that could be an offset or roots?  Grateful it was only $150.

    If it's roots you can buy a copper-based root poison that you flush and it kills the roots in your pipes. 


    Personally, I would begin a preventative flushing regimen.

    Thanks for the advice.  I will look into it.

    Guy said they use a two part powder that turns into a foam. 
    He was really cool about it, and said to hold off instead of taking an additional $300 for camera and treatment, since it's been about 10 years since the last snake.

    Couldn't pronounce the active ingredient, but I know it wasn't Cu.  But I'm sure they get some fun stuff to play with.

    Always leery dumping chemicals into pipes.

    Thanks again.

    Solid reading material.
    The guy even cleared the blowhole on my toilet for free due to calcium deposit buildup from water/urine.  The Kohler flushes like a champ now, without having to hold onto the lever.  Never knew of the blowhole maintenance, as the toilet is only a few years old.  It was full of calcium.

      Assuming you live in a older home you have a good chance its tree roots... eventually you will probably have to replace the main line from your foundation to the street.

    Just opened my package from CGS that had been cared for while we were gone to WDW.
    It arrived perfect, and I can't wait to start using the equipment. Got setups for my two eggs, and could not be happier.
    The learning curve will be slow by choice, because I am going to do two briskets to start my journey.
    CGS rules, all others drool.
    Thank you CGS.

    I know, right? It's hard to impress around this crowd. For the record, I like your cooker.
    Coleman, Texas
    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"
