Late yesterday afternoon I faxed my signed bid to the company who first
bid on the job. Good references, by far the best price. Plus they
actually ran a camera through the existing line and didn't charge me a
cent. The other guys made their bids on the basis of inspection from
above, only.

Yesterday afternoon, when I faxed the bid, it was dry, but it rained
something fierce overnight. There had been relatively little rain here
until last night. Now the ground is going to be saturated. They have to
dig at least 4 holes to get down to the existing clay lateral for
connections and access to do the trenchless.

What affect does the rain have on all this? Thanks for your answers.

Would seem to make much more sense to ask them... :(

Why not ask the folks doing the job?

I did. I just thought it best to try to get impartial opinions. They did
call me back in response to my faxed bid. But the guy who did the
inspection and is going to set up the job hasn't called me. I figure
they're real busy with work because of the heavy rains. It's no biggie,
my having to wait. I jury rigged the biggest problem - a broken drain.

If these guys are pros, they are used to working outside in all conditions.
It probably won't affect them one bit. Although the finished job may be a
little messier due to the mud.
