Hmm. That 'fix' is a bit off. Your entry is no. 2 for our contest Steve. Thanks for sending.

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, spaghetti plumbing, rats in heaters, cars in the pool, snakes in the plumbing, and more!

Just for fun, and to entice more submissions, Service Industry News announces a Horror File contest.Wewillgiveoneawardperregionrepresented. There are 7 regions. No. Cal., So. Cal., Florida, North East, South East, South West, and Mid West.

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: Send your photo to info@serviceindustrynews. net. Please write: Attention Horror File, in the subject line and thank you for remembering us when you are out there working hard.
