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 Jason Briggs of Paradise Pools in Lomita, California.

“They built a pool room but apparently couldn’t move the filter three feet to the right,” writes Jason.

This is fantastic Jason. You really boxed yourself into a corner didn't you? You are number 11 in our contest.

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!

And now, just for fun,when you submit your Horror File you are automatically entered into our Horror File contest.

We will give one award per region represented. There are 7 regions. No. Cal., So. Cal., Florida, North East, South East, South West, and Mid West. The winner will receive a prize and their submission will run in the 12-15-25 edition.

Send your submission today along with a brief description to: info@serviceindustrynews.net. mailto:info@serviceindustrynews.net
