It's just the right size (here we go) to insert a drain rod and plunger in either direction of flow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the missus was out I filled it with a shitload of her hoarded crap & hid it with a layer of garden/building rubble I havent ever seen them that cheap, il have a bit more of a look. And well done on outsmarting your lady. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve now booked weeks in both December and January but put them on the credit card. if they’re taking booking and can’t fulfil them, refund. If they’re taking bookings but go bust, refund via ATOL/ABTA and if even that fails, credit card cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly an old rodding eye It is a rodding eye, but is deeper than normal, it's not quite a traditional chamber but a man hole none the less. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to do with pipes? We've got a mains shut off in the street and I've nothing to lift it off with to see inside. Is it ticking? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a drawing for a rodding eye installation. It’s even written right there on the drawing what it is. Just for clarity - that’s not a manhole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
