Came home to sewage in the basement, cause 1 foot of broken pipe... Solution $6,000 dollars in labor.
#crappy day (pun intended)

But on the brighter side I received Palama's PIB the same day so seeing rainbows through the cloud.

Yup, they were running machines all day. So now I am going to try and work the night shift on zero hours of sleep. You guys have a good night.

With those
UN-FRIGGIN' braced wall's in A 6'-10' trench...

You'd never catch me in a 6'-10' unbraced trench.

No idea why it broke.

The hole ended up being 35 ft long and 10 feet deep. They did have to mechanically brace to walls.

Total bill $7670

Good things Cops make so much money.... wait, FML

Contractors have to carry insurance for that. Not the homeowners responsibility to enforce osha rules and pay for accidents resulting in poor safety standards
