Was broke in between the house and main line so we had to shut water off by street.  I notify the homeowner, apologize for the inconvenience and tell them I’ll credit their invoice for the hassle.  I send a guy out to Ace to get pvc, couplings, pvc glue and pvc cutters.  Stuff I have in my work truck.  Me and new guy stay back to complete the lawns.  I joking tell him “don’t break anything” I’m mowing and I see this guy with his hands on his head and weed eater on ground from a house away.  I give a thumbs up as a question.  He shakes his head. He hit the neighbors back flow with the weed eater.  And broke that too. To make matters worse, the side yards these were located faced each other.    My other guy comes back and heads straight back out to get more couplings.  Luckily these two clients are long term clients.  One, I’ve mowed for for probably a decade and was cool.  Horrible look for us.  But later that day we were able to laugh it off.
