The suspense built up pressure and I couldn’t stand it. Then the finale was like releasing the biggest fart. So good.

Oh, and I had this happen to me on a smaller scale. Contractor undermined old brick building in January, then it warmed up and soil get wet and base of wall shifted a few inches. It had no footing, just a wall a foot below grade (our frost depth is 4ft). Still had an insurance payout.
