But, I'd try Blackhats suggestion first. He hasn't steered me wrong in the past

Mr. Blackhat does offer some excellent advice

- but

with my solution you can also take the time to paint the wall behind the tank.

Guns are supposed to be dangerous. If yours is not dangerous you need to take it to a gunsmith and have it repaired.

And down it goes . . . the thread, that is, not whatever is blocking the commode.

My son is a flusher, flushing all sorts of things.  I have had the experience you are having now.  I'm inclined to the pull the toilet side.  I have snaked the toilet a few times so that is worked with water but with other things are going down it started clogging again.  Turns out bigger items that would not be caught by the snake were catching the other stuff as they went down.  Only way to know is to pull it.

Yeah but painting behind it is one of the things in life which really annoys me.

Bad experiences come from poor decisions. So do good stories.

Hmmmmmmmmmm . . . . .

Let me think about this for a bit.





I've got it!  What if you don't have to wear a mask while painting?

Sir Blackhat?

How do you feel about folks touching you with a sword?  Of course, you are going to have to do that "kneeling thing", but I think you can get your Aide-De-Camp to help you get back up.

Hang on.  It could be a rough ride.

Don't forget to offer helpful assistance . . . from the back seat, please.

 The thing is he never said anything about a blockage, just that wipes were flushed.   If there has not been any problems by now they probably went on down.  If it ain't broke don't fix it.

My daughter craps out things that just won't leave on their own.  I add liquid Dawn to the mix and the extra water.  The soap provides lubrication.  OTOH I had a tenant drop a visine bottle in a crapper that would not obstruct water or the closet snake yet toss in a bit of paper and it was a problem.  On that one we had to replace the bowl.  That cost the tenant $450 the plumber was on her as was the toilet.  I would have replaced it and charged her for the toilet if she had told me what the issue was from the start instead of more than an hour into running the closet snake
