    Unfortunately, this is another prime example of a dishonest plumber. He/she cut the losses, while knowing that this would become another problem sooner or later. However, thank you for always going above and beyond to fix the problem! There are few in this day and age who willingly does the work to achieve the best for their clients.

When I do a job, especially if it's underground where the customer can't see, I take before during and after, for the customer's sake and cuz the company demands it now. Too many people play games and charge plumbing prices only for the customer to get screwed. It's keeping everyone honest. Cheers brother.

I have been watching long enough to say to myself, “I wonder if Ollie is going to use the rare earth magnet?” The next thing you said was you were going to try and use the small reverse as a hook and use the magnet as well. So Ollie went fishing on the job again and caught a very long one! All Good 👍!

    G'day Ollie. The clocks went back an hour this morning (UK). So we're into dark nights (for most of the day it seems) which I hate. I'd love to hibernate like some animals do and wake refreshed in Spring.Talking of springs that eel was no match for you and Ratty. I like how you had to "break" the gully (lip) to make it work better!! Most thing don't work if they're broken go figure. I have to say I like the look of Ollie the hat less plumber. It means we can actually see your eyes when you smile.Have a great week. Safe unplugging.👍👍👍

    If you’re smart, you only call either Ollie, Gavin (The Penetrator), or Bruce (Drain Cleaning Australia). In my opinion, from watching all these videos, Ollie has the most depth of knowledge. He gets consulted on so many repairs on both existing building issues and new construction issues. I’m sure the plumber will be happy to get his eel back. And I’ve seen you use that magnet so many times to rescue parts that were lost. One caution….if you have anyone with a pacemaker or electrical stimulator, they should be far away from the magnet when being used. It can accidentally shut off or reprogram the device if they are near the magnet.

    Trying to figure out what kind of fishing Ollie was doing. Penetrator may show some clips of fishing in a lake/sea, but Ollie combines the best of both worlds. Fishing for EELS...down the gully... using the rare earth magnet. Or was it noodling (like for catfish) where you stick your hand down a hole hoping for the creature to bite your hand to pull it up. Ollie offers the sacrificial thumb into the mouth without success in the first round. Round two tries with a screwdriver - not the kind of bait the eel likes. Third time is the charm just grabbing hold of the tail and pull as hard as you can. What a catch!!! A 2.5 meter eel! Way to handle that so it didn't chomp down on Ratty! Unbelievable the variety of things you come up with! Simply the best! 🐀 All Good! 👍🐁

    Hi Ollie. Not sure if you’re aware but if you wanted to remove the annoying flicker of the lights you should film at either 25 or 50 frames per second instead of 30 or 60 (you would also have to edit at 25 or 50). This is due to Australia using the same 50Hz power that Europe and the UK do. The difference in power is why cameras have the two different frame rates. A case of the bigger number not always being better!
