It's rained quite a lot recently, which is good because I had been longing for it for a long time. It had been so hot recently so the rain cooled down the air, thank goodness. It's overcasting at the moment and I am expecting some more rain, we really need more water.
Well speaking of water, we finally found out what the cause of the pipe bolckage was, which had been a real pain in the neck!! We had had this trouble since we moved in here. We'd tried some pipe cleaners (chemical), pipe cleaning machines both manual and electric, one worked OK but none of them worked fantastically. When another serious clogging started, and that was about a week ago, we decided to take a drastic measure, which meant digging the pipe out! We assumed that it's the end of the pipe that had been clogged but we didn't know where it was. We don't have a sewage system like cities and all the gray water goes down to the paddock in front of the front garden. So the pipe is in the ground which makes us feel no wonder the pipe got clogged. You know, lots of dirt and stones can get inside the pipe very easily!
Anyway Gori speculated where the end was with his educated guess and he started to dig, I however, wanted to help him but nothing special to do so I became a supervisor lol. We were very fortunate because we got the pipe at the first go! Soon after that we found the end which was clogged really badly. (><) Gori got rid of the clogging and all the gray water and yukky stuff came out(^^;) （Sorry if it's too disgusting)
Now all the clogging is gone and water goes down the drain soooo smoothly! We feel much better and very thankful for the fact that it didn't cost us fortune to fix it up. We were worried that we might have to rent some big digging machinery if we wanted to dig the pipe out but it turned out very well without it! We are very happy !!
This is where the end was. (It's hard to see, isn't it?)
