He also helped us out with a dozen other smaller electrical things.Me and my Dad brought the tractor out and graded the backyard to help with some of the drainage issues.

But we did a sewer interceptor a few months back... either the whole city is diabetic or has a huge drug problem as we found a 40 'x 40 ' hole (bottom of connection on interceptor) full of hypodermic needles.
