Hi all,
...wait for it....$1600
She can't afford this kind of money, she is in her 80's and on oxygen and just gets a pention so she asked if there was a way she could get the price down at all, he says "if you can get someone to dig the whole we'll do it for $600"
Ok your plumbers and i'm not but is this for real??? He's charging her $1,000 for digging a 6ft hole??? Ok so I can dig the hole, I don't want to but i'm not about to let her sign her pension away to this guy.

First of all, if you own a house, you own its responsibilities, whether your dying or being fed injections to stay alive.
Second, playing in raw fecal matter is a death sentence to those who have compromised immune systems unbeknownst to them.
Third, anyone can dig a hole. Digging a hole messing with that is not as simplistic you make it out to be. Who's to say that pipe isn't in deteriorated shape all the way from one direction to another?
You going to put your happy hat on and fix all that for her too? Start digging compadre and see how many awards you get for that fine accomplishment.
Cracks me up when I hear people discount the true seriousness of dealing with raw feces and "black water" like you could drink it like summer tea.
The best advice would be for that woman to get out of her house, sell it and move into an old peoples home before people like me call the health department, removing occupancy rights for exposing health hazards to the community due to financial hardships. Anyone needs an oxygen bottle right now it's me.
