Blaine Toto toilet

Once in a while, we get plumbing jobs that amaze us. This was a stoppage in the branch sewer caused by inadequate pipe wash down caused by a water saving Japanese toilet called Toto.

The toilet is gorgeous with a hidden tank in the wall that has no access to it. The Chicago tank has a 10 year warranty on parts, but I didn't see anything about labor coverage.

The toilet bowl hanger is rated for 350 pounds.

The water spot--the amount of water in the bowl--is about 2" in diameter and located in an odd spot. I didn't take a photo of it, but  in my world, it ain't enough.

Blaine, Wa garbage disposer

The tenant asks: What killed the garbage disposer?

Plumber says: ummmmm...talk to the owner.

Sewage ejector Blaine, Wa

Here's something most people will never experience.

This house has a pump that ejects the sewage up the hill to the county sewer. The pipe shook loose and filled the pit that's located in the front yard. Next to the front door. 

Sometimes, this job can never pay enough...
