    Tenacity! Found an antique plunger, found the boundary trap first try, found the plastic blockage, removed a plastic tarp & rescued the client. Great job Ollie!

    I am beginning to think that Frank isn't really a plumber but he tries and when he fails, he calls you Ollie because he knows you are the person that should have been called in the first place. Another fine job completed! You are the man, Ollie!

      To be fair to Frank. Plumbing and blocked drains are two different things. Blocked drains require a completely different set of tools/equipment. Frank wouldn’t stay in work more than 2 mins if he wasn’t a plumber.

      You realize that "Frank" is just a euphemism, right?
      Like he isn't a real person. You actually think a professional would out another professional on YT? It's just an inside joke. He is just saying that someone named "Frank" screwed up. You could say Frank can be anything, like a carpenter if you found a messed up wooden wall.
      Anyway, like someone else already said, a plumber and a drain clearer are 2 completely diff things.
      ALso, when you're in the trades, you often have young apprentices that don't really know what they're doing, and so "frank" could be some kid that messed up like 5 years ago while renovating one of those houses/townhouses/apartments (whatever they're called in Sydney)

    The number of times I have seen Ollie remove someone else's equipment from the drain line is incredible. That's something I would expect from a novice like me to try and do on my own, but even then I wouldn't just leave that down there. The fact that another plumber was called to do the job, broke their tool and left without a word is mind boggling. Cheers to you Ollie, you are a real champion for your customers

    When i was on the tools a few years ago, i hated getting silicone on my hands. I use to carry washing up liquid with me in the van to smooth out the sealant. I use to put a bit in my hand and dip my finger in it when i had to seal up around the basin or toilet and worktops etc. Again they had to call in the best to get the job done.
