[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2305517, member: 229"] Few things: Outstanding use of puns throughout this thread - OSA, you do not disappoint (Danny, my hat's off to you for these two in particular): But then, this is TMI: Also, because it has to be said, I'm just going to get it out of the way: "TAMPONBERG" Lastly, I don't think you're going to retrieve the plastic bits (it sounds as if this is what you're trying to do), just get them loose and let them move on down the line to be a part of the city's tamponberg (I'm assuming your main line is a 4" PVC or something large enough that this isn't going to cause any issues there). It's like any other troubleshooting. Plunge at the toilet first, and then if that doesn't work, snake/auger from there and if that doesn't work, pull the toilet to see if things are draining past the toilet or if the problem is inside the toilet. If other stuff is draining, then you can eliminate the main line and most likely all of the other non-problem-bathroom plumbing right off the bat (depending on how creative the plumber was that built your house).
