I know you live in Columbus, Dave, what part?

I had a country house near Pataskala, and every time the dishwasher or washing machine would drain, a bunch of sudsy water would gush out from under the back deck.

I live between Johnstown and Granville in the middle of a cornfield.

That's generally a pretty nice area, shame about the trouble you're having.

My buddy just sold his house on Eastmoor in Bexley. He had to sell fast before it was foreclosed on, as he'd lose everything (he's got a gambling problem, gambling losses last year totaled 60K).

Anyway, the place had tons of landscaping, and he couldn't afford the amount of mulch he'd need to fill it all. He was too proud to just let me pay for the mulch, so he filled the landscaping with grass clippings and spray painted it black. I'll give him this - it looked good from the street.

The kitchen windows were dirty, but you couldn't clean them because if you pressed on them they'd fall right out, as they were only being kept in by shims around the frame he had broken off flush and painted the trim color.

The entire back of the house was sinking into the ground by the elaborate series of koi ponds/streams that had been leaking for years.

Somehow he still managed to get over $300K for it, and they didn't do a thing, just moved right in.

I watched a made for tv movie when I was young about murderous bees, and it said to spray them with soapy water, and they'd die immediately. Hope that helps.
