Yup! It’s why my chair keeps hoping I don’t retire: it’s not that I’m special, it’s that the line won’t be replaced. So far, my pipes are still working.

Not to make (too) light of the situation, but that is one of the best username / post combinations I’ve seen in weeks.

Well done, **Señor Frog**!

In our rental house the renter had a clog, after taking a shower fortunately, and it turned out the drain line was cement-impregnated fiber which in the 50+ years since construction, had collapsed.

I had never heard of such a thing and it was 8-grand to fix. On top of that we suspended the rent for the two weeks the place was uninhabitable _plus_ kicked in $30 a day to help towards the motel room she took.
