Went and got parts for another tankless I am doing. A stick of 3/4 L was $2.99 per foot.
Picked up another auger.....THEY WERE THE SAME PRICE. In my bitchy reply to hearing the price I asked my faithful salesman...WHY?

"What part of SoCal are you in?"

I see you are in Chatsworth.....I used to live there for about 6 years, even went to Chatsworth High.
I am in Ventura now. and as summer approaches I don't miss the LA heat.
It wasn't too long ago I was digging up sewers in 110 heat.

Anyway, Howdy Neighbor
