I'm (slowly) refurbishing an old greywater pit used on my mother's kitchen drain line. Last year I replaced all of the pipes under the house, which were completely rusted through. This year I replaced a section of drain line outside the house, which was clogged with tree roots.

These are photos of the old and new pipes, respectively. There was a 2" diameter root growing in the drain line. The pipe in this picture was completely filled with dirt. The moral of this story is that, if you ever do any plumbing work, those pipes at Home Depot with the little holes in them are for leach fields only, not for drain lines. :argh:
