When you feel you have broken through the clog, pull the snake back and forth in that area while rotating to remove as much as possible from the sides of the pipe. When you get everything buttoned up again, run a tubful of HOT water through the drain to help flush it out.

Yes, it will be something black and stinky for sure. The snake may catch whatever it is and allow you to pull it out. It is possible that it could be sanitary products from the previous occupant. Once you find the clog, you will want to crank the snake, and you will be able to tell how solid it is. ...

Your shut off would be where your water supply pipe emerges from the ground underneath the home. Since you have a manhole cover close by, it could be under there, and then a short pipe run to the home without a shut off in it. The clog you are looking for is not going to be in the manhole, since one...

The toilet itself may not be the problem. The problem is in the main drain line serving that end of the home, at some point after all the affected drains enter it. The toilet drain gives direct access to the main drain line. I would go with the 50' snake. It would be a shame to get the 25' and find ...

If you try to use water pressure to clear a clog in the main drain line, all that will happen is sewage will come up out of your tub, toilet, sink and washer with force behind it! The only way this might work is if you can plug each of the problem drains tightly. The pressure will expose any weak li...

There should be a main drain line underneath the floor, but above the belly wrap. It should run from one end to the other, with a point where it drops through the belly wrap to the septic tank or sewer line. It sounds like one section of the main line is blocked, before it gets to the drop point. Yo...

Properly installed metal will not have to be replaced again. Choose a light color, and the foam insulation under it will combine to reduce heat gain from the sun. It should make a significant difference in your heating/cooling bills. Someone in our park had a roof similar to the one in your link don...

I don't think there should be an issue, as long as they frame it properly. Since the wind/rain comes from that end, they will really have to do a good flashing job.

Or you can cut it in place with a utility knife.

We don't have a well, but our shutoff is where the pipe emerges from the ground underneath.

It has been done. You may have to cut up the old one to get it out.

You could. If you can't match it exactly, you may want to re cover the whole top.

I wouldn't run in the duct work, as you'll have to make entry and exit holes, letting air escape, and running the risk of the cable being abraded by the cut metal. You would also have to make large holes in the belly wrap to access the ducts for routing. I would run it below the belly wrap, drilling...

Yes, it came that way. Whether it can be replaced with shingles depends upon the size of your roof trusses. You have to be very careful with adding weight. How about a new metal panel roof? They are becoming very popular now, and will outlast shingles.

#2.
#1, a lot of extra work and expense.
#3, will not secure the edges to the home, allowing warping.
