Today's Surprise

Got a call last night.  The sewer clean-out pipe outside the bathroom window of one of the rent houses has sewage flowing out of it and piling up on  the yard.   I had the maintenance man call the eel service that I used last time.  His wife told him that her husband had died in April. Not so good.   So, I had the guys rent an eel to attempt a clean out themselves.  Ran 100 foot of eel into the pipe and still didn't get the pipe flowing.  Called JULIE to get any lines located in the yard and have a back hoe scheduled for tomorrow morning to dig out the  80 feet of clay pipe to be replaced with plastic pipe.  Probably will take all day tomorrow and $3000. to fix that little problem.  I don't like surprises anymore.
