Answer 1

After my house burned down, my family (me and 2 boys) lived in an RV in the backyard for a year while the house was being rebuilt. RV's are not connected to the sewer system, and though we had a port-a-potty next to the RV, the boys refused to use it on a regular basis. Every week the port-a-potty company would come to empty the reservoir and would hold the suction hose to the tank on the RV to empty what was accumulated in the "waste" tank. The hose did not seal with the reservoir tank, and I would have to crawl under the RV to turn the release valve. Guess what happened every time I crawled under to turn the valve? Disgusting!!

Answer 2

Soldering copper pipe joints under a house in Texas. I'm working alone in a crawl space , flat on my back, when the local arachnid population decides to show up en mass . It just so happens that I'm allergic to bee stings and I was wondering if scorpions and spiders fell into that category also.
I had to get the job done But man I couldn't wait to get out of there.
