No "seems" about it.

Well he doesn't have such a big head as yours to know all the rules and regs
on sewer maintenance.

But it can't be fair for a home owner to be held responsible for
pipework that is 8 or 10 feet below ground level beneath layers of
concrete!

Whine, whine, whine.

In fact, depending on past ground usage and circumstances, he may well be
correct in what he says (unlikely, but possible)!

Try being responsible for your own drainage, septic tank and incoming
electricity. Then you can come back and whinge.

Bitch, bitch, bitch and whine, whine, whine - when will all that expense end
for you?

BTW, depending on your situation, at least you won't be paying any sewerage
charges to the local waterboard thieves, and if you are drawing water from a
well, then that's even better (and the two togther will more than off-set
the septic tank emptying every year or so) - so what the ferkin' hell are
*YOU* whinging for?

BTW, do you not own a spade?

I'd like to see you digging down to that depth and through concrete with
just a spade - but I suppose someone like you could probably do that sort of
a job before dinner, and only using a Swiss army knife...and you'd keep the
shovel just for the ****!
