    That customer or what I assumed was the customer was literally giving me a headache. Asking "are you sure" "did you break that" "When did you check the line" and then not believing what Ollie was trying to tell him. That was annoying and I probably would have lost my cool with that guy a long time ago. Sheesh!!! Ollie, you are an amazing plumber and I love watching your videos. You definitely have a lot of females that watch your channel. I've seen 18 to 20 yr olds to 55 yr olds watching. I'm 43 so, there's definitely a broad mix of different female age groups. Awesome videos!!!

      Seems like a giant waste of fuckin' time and sweat. You can certainly break concrete up but you need some leverage and generally the piece needs to be separate or exposed... not encased in direct and reinforced from all sides that are already buried under more stone and dirt underneath. I can't imagine a sledgehammer is going to get through that anytime soon.

    Builders... gotta watch 'em like a hawk. When I had huge renovations done a few years back, I made sure they brought a settling tank with them to wash out all the tools and cement mixer. At the end of the job, the tank got shovelled out into a skip and they'd managed about 150kg of silt that would have ended up in my drainage system... Last time I saw a old can of Coke was at a car auction and my mate tapped part of an old car door and filler fell off and "Coke" appeared from behind...

So he did it to him 2 more times before he called his dad and told him he was going to have to charge him more because his son was slowing us down by being in the way.

    Welcome back once again to Ollie And The Gnarly Storm Drain Blockages! Damn, concrete is a nightmare. At least wet wipes and roots you can cut down and flush out with the jetter, no such luck with thick scales of tough ceramic like those. Acid really does seem to be the only way to go.

I do feel like since he told him he could do no more, he should have repaired the pipe before leaving.

    Very good accuracy from the camera head and finder, plus skilled user. Typical lazy builder, or so called, just empty his mixing bucket down the drain.

    Ollie you have a lot of patience. People hire you and then insist on hanging next to you watching you work.. Mr Blue Boots has to learn that if you hire a professional trust them to do a proper job. Love the comments he added on how to do your job.. A lot of patience to deal with that. In New York (USA) he would have been told where he could go and not come back till the job was done... He wasn't joking asking if you broke that pipe even though he brushed it off saying he was kidding.
