What is a grand amongst total strangers?

I was doing some maintenance on my air conditioning condenser (cleaning it) when I saw a hole near the concrete pad that supports the condenser. Some investigation with a shovel later revealed a fairly large cavern. A few hours more digging and investigating showed that a sewer leak was taking dirt away from the area.

I called a plumber - and after MANY hours of work on my behalf (digging the hole) and their behalf (hammer drilling and digging) it was fixed. A little over a grand later and I have a solid sewer line again.
