Todays Friday teaser. Thinking outside the box. manhole.
Problem
Blocked main foul sewer. Wont go into the detail of how and why, but the cure is to lift a manhole and rod it.
Issue
The manhole. Its in a block paving drive, The cover is of old design that takes a full brick into its recess, about 20 of them. Weighs about 100kilos. Because it takes a full brick in its recess top its a deep manhole cover, about 6inches deep, tight fitting, so it needs to come straight up, pull one side then the other jams it in place.
It is a two man job, one on each side with a steady and even straight up pull.
I am on my own
Solution
How was it done using just the contents of an everyday suburban garage
