when people can walk away from a job knowing they did it half a...d!!!! I have a huge leak in my front yard and when I dug it up, I discovered there was a pipe that wasn't connected to the end of my yard to freaking drain. Some idiot from before I bought the house just left it without finishing the job. So my backyard drainage leaks into my front yard by my little tree. It is like a puddle from hell. All the person had to do was finsish the job and lay the dag goned pipe to the curb!!!! What is wrong with people these days because I would NEVER do something like that to someone else. So now, Misty had to dig a line to my curb and lay the pipe correctly because of an idiot! So there you go, some people have intergrity and some don't. I, for one, run with the crowd that HAS INTEGRITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And, as a side note, I can type drunkdrinker

thanks guys....I just don't understand how someone could cover that pipe up and walk away??????? I was so mad that I powerwashed my driveway and sidewalks for three hours. Sooooooooooooo...the wine tasted ever so good going down and I will be like Scarlett and handle it tomorrow....

I would send a crew out to fix it for you for free misty, but TX is a fair drive from here. You are singin our mantra. That is why I can't find enough people to work for me. Check Angie's List.com if it is in your area. People rate the contractors they use. I apologize for those that ruin it for the ones that care

Hey Zapchaser that is a good idea...didn't think of that....guess I could always powerwash for other people to pay for someone else's lack of intergrity...

I feel for you Misty. I end up fixing other people's mistakes all the time. I can't stand it. Most of the time it was the home owner that did the work and really had no idea what they were doing. Sometimes it's a contractor that screwed it up or had a lazy employee. Either way it sucks when you have to deal with it.

Hey Kidatheart.....I think I got the lazy worker...the pipe literaly stops underground in the middle of my yard. There has been a puddle there for months. I thought I needed to repair my sprinkler system....I just stood there STUNNED looking at the pipe that ended for NO REASON......I think I am still in shock....

sounds like the same plumber i had... he dug holes all in my back yard, busted the pipe all up, i had to pay him 45 dollars to do it... now is that stupid or what???... had to get the ex to come over and put new pipe in and fix the problem, then he had to barry the pipe... at least he didn't charge me
