What I have learned over the years is when things aren't going your way, it's usually best to stop what your doing. Take a break, cool off, and tackle it again with a level head. Sometimes frustration is the only thing keeping that sewer plugged.

Yep, Get up off the bucket, walk outside to the truck, pour a double shot of Jack Daniels and slam it, maybe another, then when you get out of the truck slam your hand in the door, when you get back inside you'll have forgotten all about the troubles and be ready for a fresh stab at it... JK

Seriously get up and walk outside, clear your head...
Then rethink the job like you just pulled up....
Manhole covers in the street or, where is the septic tank again?
Where does the line run and how far?
Is that a outside cleanout in the garden?
Is that a house trap vent coming through the foundation?
Am I being an Idiot and need to hit it from a different direction or, do I need to get back in there and try something else or do I just need to keep grinding away at it and pay my dues on this one?
Then you are ready to continue...

Is fun looking at the progress in the trade.
Although many things still hold true.
