A Hick's Work Is Never Done

The guy Hick hired to put in new sewer pipe at Bargain House, and connect it to the city sewer, completed his job last week. Here's what it looked like last Wednesday, after the first day:

The trench was dug, and the pipe installed. That's right behind Bargain House, as you can see. I don't know if it had been connected to the city sewer yet at this point. I'm not sure what day it was finished, but Hick sent me the pictures on Tuesday.

The purpose of going from the back of the house to the alley was to avoid digging up the paved street out front. Meaning that it was CHEAPER! Looks like Hick might need to spread some grass seed across that area. So he'll have more to mow, heh, heh! When he has his tractor in town, I imagine he'll smooth it out a bit first.

Now Hick has to connect the new pipes to the pipes under the house. He sounds like that will be a piece of cake, so to speak. You know how Hick loves cake.

That's what $2,200 gets you around Backroads, if you know the right guy. If you don't, it will cost you $3,600 just to put an auger into the ground and start digging around a sewer pipe...
