I had placed a flange where the inlet pipe daylights out of the concrete well. This imbecile cut it off and glued in a slip fitting right at the concrete wall so no place to cut and re-glue/flanger without digging up the dirt behind the concrete well. Also he placed every glued fitting so close to each other that there is no room to cut where you have enough pvc to make another joint. Then he glued every single threaded fitting together. This idiot gave no thought whatsoever to it every having to be taken apart again in the future.
