It flushed that far then started to solidify, then turned to cement sitting in the heat for a year. 4 months of us living there had no problem, but it took 4 months for that small solid mass to accumulate stuff, until it completely clogged. We need someone with a long powered snake to fix it. Once we got that cleared, never had a problem since because the line gets flushed regularly. If you don't add showers and sink usage, then the last dude's poop remains forever.

I don't think it's been empty. The wife of the PO was out here 3-4 days a week. She kept her horses on the property and brought her dogs. There are doggy scratch marks on some of the doors and the house was being used pretty much right up until closing.
