My son threw a few of his hot wheels cars into the toilet + toilet paper after and completely clogged it
It won't drain at all so I completely emptied it but don't want to have to take it apart
Is there any way to get these toys out of the toilet without taking in apart?
I assume they're stuck in the catch with toilet paper plugging it up completely
I've just tried plunging and reaching in with my hand so far
Thanks for any help!
Pic is the clogged toilet
make your son reach in an pick stuff out
he is probably small enough that he can stick his whole arm in, rather then just a hand
Are hot wheels magnetic? Maybe tie a magnet onto something and pull them out.
In my day hot wheels were made of some kind of nonmagnetic pot metal like zinc, cadmium and lead
Lol I have no idea but I don't have any magnets
Really not looking forward to taking this apart....
My son is 2 and has started this new thing where he thinks it's hilarious to put stuff down drains....
>In my day hot wheels were made of some kind of nonmagnetic pot metal like zinc
They are still zinc die cast and injected molded plastic.
Yeah I think he threw about 5 of them down there since he's missing about 5
Just got one of those childproofing things so he can't get into the toilet and do it again....
I'm looking at some cutaway pictures of toilet bowls and I can't see a way to recover them without removing the bowl. Even then they may have gone deeper.
>Even then they may have gone deeper.
is this a problem? If you can get them into the main pipe won't they just get whisked away with the sewage?
What about using a 6 foot auger and just pushing those fuckers down
Sounds like you got a traffic jam!
Lol it's like my son single handedly caused I-5 traffic in rush hour
wet/dry vacuum
Yeah maybe a wet vacuum, is ya wife around?
No vacuum but I talked her into putting her hand down the toilet to fix it
I told her that her hands are way smaller than mine so she'd have a better chance of fixing it
When I was a kid we were at our mother's parents house and my father had taken a huge shit and clogged the toilet
He tried to unclog it with conventional means and after failing he started stirring the shit with his bare hands, deep to the elbow. Then my grandmother came upon him and she was like "omfg wtf are you doing"and he said "what? it's my shit"
Pic related is my grandmother
does babusha have a thick fucking accent like mine?
Oh no. vat you dooving?
Lol is the the shit stew she made after?
I remember my dad doing the same as a kid and we called him the "turd rearranger" for years afterwards until he'd get so mad we'd get hit or grounded
Pretty sure he was high as fuck when it happened
Good times
Lol please tell me you're from Oregon!
That's exactly what my brother and I called our father 20+ years ago
I still call him that every once in a while
>In bed and breakfast for the night
>Bustin' for a big 'ol shit after a long day
>Saw off a log that is half poking out of the bowl and nearly touching my ass
>It's literally a solid log
>Flush, nothing happens
>The u-bend is too narrow and sharp to accommodate a real man's log, this wouldn't happen at home
>Water draining very slowly but it won't budge
>Stinking the place up now and I've flushed multiple times
>Decide to push it through with the brush
>This only smooshes into the u-bend so that it's completely blocked, flush again and now the bowl is full to the brim with shit soup and not draining at all
>Stinking the place up now, head pressure of the water cannot dislodge the poop plug and the brush can't reach any further to push it more
>Can't leave the bed and breakfast in this state
>No choice but to roll up my sleeves to unblock it the old fashioned way
>Shitwater up to my elbow, my fingers bust through the dam of shit and the head pressure takes it away
>Still sick thinking about it
Anyway op, I guess you could take the toilet off and then try to push the cars back through the pipe from the outside or wherever you can get at the pipe, or use an extendable gooseneck magnetic tool pickup and endoscope
>Virgin
I I can explain
>Chad
It's my shit

Why is your grandmother on tumblr?
I just uploaded a bunch of photos there so that I wouldn't lose them. I did indeed lose them when the pc died but I retrieved thank to the internet
Have a slice of banica anon
toys are good as lost, just get the water flowing again
That is the worst drain design ever. We removed 1 toilet from the second upstairs bathroom in our apartment purely because of that. It kept getting clogged. Amerimutts what the fuck is wrong with you? Also the other toilet in the bathroom upstairs has been clogged by my shit before and that one is properly designed.
dude its super easy to pull a toilet. Just go to the store and get a wax ring and do it already. The cars a probably in the toilet and not the drain line, because a toilet is much smaller than the drain line so they likely didnt make too far.
Came here for this.
unbolt and take up the toilet. Retrieve the cars with some rope and a magnet. Then use a new wax ring and put the toilet back
Yeah already have all that.v I've installed toilets before but I'm a new father and I've never had to fix toys clogging it up....
I was hoping there's a solution someone could offer other than taking it apart but it looks like that's what I'll have to
Good news though; when I shut off the water it'll give me a chance to finish the second bathroom
>My son threw a few of his hot wheels cars into the toilet
Why?
He just wanted his favorite toys to have a nice sendoff.
put your sons head in the toilet bowl, preferably forcefully. Flush. In case that doesn't fix it, flush repeatedly.
Still plugged but it pushed me to finish installing the extra bathroom...
Just got a snake I'm going to try tomorrow
Hopefully it's not covered in shit after
The sewer pipe the toilet connects to is from the 40s so hopefully it's not so fucked up that it's causing the problem
Use a metal detector to find the jam
That will help you come up with solutions.
snake it bro
