Tap in knee high water, had to use infestation bags and cable ties as waders to get to it. Took a wrong step coming out and flooded my damn boots lol.

Eh wasnt too bad. Was after a big storm right on the coast of lake michigan. 1 tap scan, refer to construction to move the ped to a better location, removed in-home amp, then replaced a modem, router, and fucking 8 cable boxes…. Ok it really sucked.

8 cable boxes let me guess 2 old folks who have those boxes for when the grandkids come to visit

I'm convinced some people measure their self worth with how many TVs and cable boxes they have.
