A new toilet cost a buck or a buck and a half, and you've put up with
this for how long...?

Then at least two or three times every winter, because there is not

their way to the septic. *Then I have to force a garden hose thru the

If you have that much of a freezing problem, a little more water will
freeze up in the waste line every time something flows through it.
Even with a six gallon flush you'd end up getting a frozen blockage.
Drain lines should be run below the frost line whenever possible. It
sounds like you need a redesign.

When do you want to trade? *I know my boss would be pleased, because I
would not get to work late at least once a week because the toilet
backed up just when I was supposed to be driving to work.

Poop in the evening.
