I finally saw why my neighbor's cable kept going out every time it rained

I was helping him look at his line last week and saw the drop was buried only about two inches deep across his yard. The ground wire was just wrapped around the messenger, not properly bonded. Every time the soil got wet, it would short. I fixed it with a proper ground block and a six-inch trench. How do you guys handle shallow buried drops when you find them?

My compost bin started leaking in my kitchen last Tuesday

I was using a basic plastic container with holes and it dripped brown liquid onto the floor. I had to quickly move it to the bathtub and add way more shredded paper to soak it up. Has anyone else had a leak, and what container do you use now?

Got caught in a sudden downpour on a job in Seattle last week.

We were laying a garden wall and the rain washed out a whole section of fresh mortar. Had to tear it down and start over the next day. What's your go-to plan when the weather turns bad on a project?

Unpopular opinion: the vibe at my local comic shop changed completely in the last year, and it's because of the new owner.
