funny story (depending on your gag reflex). we bought a property for the 30x50 storage building but the city wouldnt let me tear down the house so we had to rehab it (another story). the PO fancied himself a remodeler and moved the sink from the back wall to an island. I guess they thought water drains worked on the principle of pressure, because where it came out of the floor was lower than the sewer main 12 feet away, and to make it worse there was a dishwasher and a garbage disposal hooked at the sink, so lots of food in the line.

some incredibly lucky fool (me) got to raise the line and change the angle to drain.. access in the floor joists was tight and so i used the abrasive string shown.


the line was still full of water (and food scraps) and had sat for 3 years withe the house empty. I cant forget the smell. when my mother in law moved in she would not stop mentioning the smell. it eventually faded but good. lord.
