Thanks in advance! --98.218.xxx.xx

In the meantime, she should be paying for the plumber to unplug the toilet. --99.18.xx.xxx

Some people you can't please, I guess. --98.218.xxx.xx

A plunger will take care of the problem , crude but effective. --69.155.xx.xxx

give her a plunger --205.238.xxx.xxx

She says "they don't work"... The guys have to snake it out, seriously, it's that hard. My suggestion would have been for her to just let it "sit" in the water to soften up, but, that would cause her hardship or concern. --98.218.xxx.xx

I guess your next step is a Porta-potti in the back yard (LOL) --69.155.xx.xxx

I'm really trying to help her, I just figured I'd post here and get some outside advice.... ya know, we are in the buisness of customer service, I just don't know what else to do at this point. I'm just not going to pay for a contractor when it's her fault it's stopping up. --98.218.xxx.xx

When Transporting a refrigerator can you lay the thing down on it's side if when you get it to where you want it you leave it sitting upright for at least 24 before plugging it in ? It's a 180 miles round trip to Wichita and I hate to drag a trailer if I don't have to. --69.155.xx.xxx

Sorry Mis- posted --69.155.xx.xxx

Reid, I just think you like the hard poop story, so you keep coming back to it... it's okay. It's the weirdest thing I've ever heard myself. --98.218.xxx.xx

Would one of those Pressure-Assisted Toilets be the solution to this issue? Just trying to help. --76.18.xxx.xxx

I've never heard of that before. I don't know, I'll check into it. Thanks Roy! --98.218.xxx.xx

Or try a device called a Macerator. Basically a shredding device for the toilet. I think they're expensive, so maybe have the tenant spring for half (if you're wanting to help her out) or for the full price. She probably needs to up her daily fiber intake, but that would require eating healthier or taking a fiber supplement. Or, have her break it up with the plunger BEFORE flushing. --64.233.xxx.xx

and a plunger --184.0.xxx.xx

I really don't want to spend money on any device for this issue. I know she needs to do something and I can only imagine how painful it must be. However, I'll do what I can to make it easier, without spending an arm and a leg. --98.218.xxx.xx

Metamucil capsules, one with each meal and an extra 8 ounces of water with each meal. Volume of solid effluent will increase but will be softer and flushable. --66.226.xx.xxx

after thinking about it I have seen a toilet advertised on TV that will flush about 18 golf balls at one time . After working as an RN for over 22 years I have seen more different BM's than I care to think about but I don't believe I've ever seen anything that would be as hard and as bulky as 18 golf balls . So if there's a toilet that'll flush that you're in business. I'd just ask at Lowes or HD as I can't remember the Name brand . If you replace a toilet it shouldn't be too expensive , you'll keep an otherwise good tenant and upgrade your bathroom at the same time . --69.155.xx.xxx

Give them a 5 gal bucket, pour water inside to soften it - this will cause more hardship but either get the butt fixed or go outside into the dumpster. --99.160.xx.xxx

I think the test was done with golfballs (pretty hard). --199.46.xxx.xxx

stool softener at any pharmacy.or have her eat prunes.her condition is no joke.if she is unwilling to take a stool softener suggest maybe she will be happier elsewhere.hope u are mtm.easier to ger her out.did u screen last 2 lndlords for constipation problems? --208.58.x.xx

I am probably telling you more than you want to read but life is what it is. --76.18.xxx.xxx

Maybe we can give an anonomous (sp) gift of prunes? --98.218.xxx.xx

I'm with Billy. If she's not willing to do something to fix the actual problem, I'd invoke the "happy clause". Tell her "if you would be happier somewhere else, I will give you this one chance to break the lease without penalty. If not, I don't want to hear about this anymore. Your pick." --141.129.x.xx

Just don't leave the house for the first 2 hours after you start eating them. Prunes have a tendency to work over-time too. --76.18.xxx.xxx

Someone in my family had this problem, actually, and the answer we found was to keep a flattened metal clothes hanger to cut up the turds BEFORE flushing. Works great~you use the curved "hanger" part as the handle ,and the flattened part does the cutting. After use, swish in the fresh water in the toilet tank and return it to it's holder for the next time. (We kept ours in a plastic grocery bag in the basement, but if you have a plethora of hangers, you could just throw it away and huse a fresh hanger each time. :-)) --65.189.xxx.xxx

Just for fun, there is a guy on You Tube who posts videos of creative flushing - A whole bag of cheese puffs, captain Crunch, popcorn...all very clean. --69.243.xxx.xx
