I'm guessing you've tried all the other options.
Drain cleaner, plunger, one of those snake doo dahs.
Still have a hole in the plasterboard ceiling leading from utility room to garage from a leaking drainage pipe.
Too far from any entry point to try those options.
Any idea that the time off will be spent catching up on movies or gaming pure fantasy.
T'other half has a list.
EDIT: That's interesting. Just noticed the site is not on British summer time.

@Snaps....Yep, too many right angle bends to use snake. Drain cleaner and plunger does not work. So its ripping holes out the artex roof time, been thinking about doing this for months, so its time to do it......plenty spare time on our hands now

Be extra careful when it comes to DIY. Now is absolutely not the time to slip and have an accident that sends you to A&E.

Polyfilla is okay to treat an open wound right?

Seen plenty of outback bushland temporary repairs to the body, when no flying doctor around. I got a bandage strapped round my wrist to stop the blood flowing by my Mum after getting a 3 inch gash by landing on some sharp metal scrap, as we could not afford the doctor. Still got the scar to this day, and lucky I never got lockjaw.
Plus I'm sure some guys in the opal prospecting territories could even knock up a respirator out of an old fridge compressor, if asked to do it
Well this lockdown it isn’t new to me,
I have done this for different reasons health issues or recovery from surgery,
Or mourning a friend or family members
no longer with us. I just think this lockdown feels a bit different because you could kill someone without knowing
Or find out in the news how so many have gone, so sad so sad, I should count on my good times I have had and think n pray for this will pass and thank god to give us strength we will learn more about
Ourselves and others , just hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.Glad you Brits have such wonderful senses n humour.🌻

no, you're thinking of super glue, unless that's one of those things if I was on QI I'd get a klaxon (which isn't a klaxon, but) for.

Was actually trying what passes for humour but there used to be something years ago called 'New skin'. An antiseptic gel that would set over a small wound.
