Sewage Connection

Abilit, the not so honest construction firm, insisted that we had to create our own sewage line - rather than taking the less expensive, more obvious road of connecting to the land-lord's existing line. So, we went through the lengthy, time consuming, headache causing process of getting 'official' documentation from the water and sewage department that insists we connect to the landlord's line rather than dig our own. In a meeting with Abilit two weeks ago this situation was among those discussed on our list of grievances ... we explained we were not paying more money and spending more time on construction to put in our own line, showed them the official paper from the water and sewage department and told them to connect us to the landlord. They consented.
So, we were a little confused yesterday when this crane, six workers and all this equipment showed up and started putting in a separate sewage connection. Apparently there isn't a lot of communication within the Abilit structure - we told the man in charge of the dig that we weren't paying for any of the parts or labor they were using to create our own sewage line - that we already agreed to connect directly to the landlord.
Well, that did not go over well at all - and a conversation of more expletives than actual words ensued. We ended up bringing in three other engineers, and our local attorney ... they installed the thing anyway ... and we are not paying for it.
Whatever.
As long as we're connected (finally) that is the main thing ... because we can't turn on washers if there is no where for the dirty water to go.
