It all seems to be so much better now.

I got all parties involved to meet at the house to dicuss fixing of the sewer. It turned out very nice.

Four males turned a simple problem into a testosterone frenzy. Yes, there actually was pushing, shoving and finger pointing. A lit cigarette was flicked at another and then the fun began.

Of course being the only woman there (and the only clear-headed one)I had to throw myself in between the plummer, seller, buyer's agent and buyer's father and settle them down. They didn't hear me. I just got joggled around and then fell out of the circle of shouting onto my rear!

But.....
It is taken care of now. All is well.
