Aggravation and Frustration

I should have realized things were going a little too well.

We rented a Ditch Witch to dig the trench to find the leak. It showed up quickly and Larry proceded to dig all the way to the main connect point so he could replace all the old iron pipe with plastic. This house was built right after World War II and we've been cleaning and fixin' ever since we bought the place ten years ago.

This morning Larry dug some more because he had a couple of other areas that he wanted to lay new pipe as well. Once this was finished he loaded up the Ditch Witch and got ready to return it to the rental place. Well, he came in the house for a few minutes to change out of his dirty clothes.

He left the back door of the van open. While he was gone a feral tom cat hopped in and marked the van. PHEW! Then it got better. Because of said open door the battery ran down. Now we have to go find a truck to rent so we can return the Ditch Witch. Then we need to get a new battery et cetera et cetera. The fun never ends.
