Good luck, Marty! Sorry that you've got to put up with that crap (literally and figuratively). Can you complain to the city about these conditions? I hope the rent is cheap, at least!

As a repairman myself... I've never heard that. I've always referred to fiberglass sousas as 'commode-O-phones'. :oops:

I seen me a tater truck laid over on it's side today. I'm sure it wasn't a pretty sight when it happened, and I'm willing to wager that a fatality was involved. Yet it's not every day that you see a mountain of fresh picked spuds piled high in the shoulder of the highway.
The wind is as the air, only pushier.
