Back on OPERATION DOWNPIPE CLEANING FURY.
I am determined to foolishly not pay anyone to do this or fall off the roof.
Starve the beast.
I have to cut the bum off one of ours and direct it into a tub with a 12v bilge pump (weirdly I actually already have all these parts and the battery / panel ready to go) because it turns out it goes absolutely fucking nowhere .
We're gonna smash up that pathway and redo it anyway as it's rooted to shit, and put in a proper line and drain then but still. Annoying.
Good mission name - I need to do an OPERATION DOWNPIPE TORRENT too this weekend.
