In college, my very Chinese landlord was quite the tightwad. The sewer backed up and he paid a young man to dig it up. The fella was good for the digging, but confessed to knowing nothing about pipe repair. The landlord asked me what I thought and I said that with the entire line already dug up, it would be better to replace the terra cotta pipe completely. Including that I knew little to nothing of plumbing myself. He shook his head dramatically and pulled out a roll of duct tape. He says, "You fix!" I responded that I could wrap the pipe with duct tape, but it would be "P1ssing in the wind." He repeated the phrase back to me several times adjusting it to better understand what I was trying to say. He then became quite irate and yelled, "Urinating in Breeze?!!!".
After he calmed down and I got up off the ground and regained my composure, I took the broken pieces and jigsawed/duct taped them back into place and poured a few bags of quickrete over the rough patch. I moved out that semester so I never heard whether it worked or not.
I am sure there were about 50 code violations involved... Never laughed that hard in my life.

I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
