CAN YOU TOP THIS?

Welcome to the latest edition of our popular “Can You Top This?” column, featuring the newest entry in the Service Industry News “Horror File. ”

This issue’s entry comes to us from Sally Smith & Renee Marier of Mango Pool & Spa Maintenance, in Lake Elsinore, California.

“Tracy Simmons from Acme Pool Care in Riverside, CA sent us this picture,” writes Sally.

“I guess he saved the Easter bunnies this year as they were both alive and well when he got them out of the skimmer!”

What a hiding spot… How in the world did the little fellow get in there? That sure is one way to beat the heat.

Other publications like to print lots of pretty pictures of beautiful pools, spas and well engineered installations.

At Service Industry News, we would rather go behind the scenes and take a closer look at the type of stuff our readers encounter everyday — cracked tiles, tree roots, spaghetti plumbing, rats in the heater, cars in the pool and more!

When you are out in the field and you see something that doesn’t look right, send us an email along with a picture and a brief description: Attention Horror File, serviceindustrynewscd@yahoo.com.
