I had a Main Water leak...

in July i was mowing my grass and all of a sudden sunk up to my ankles! knew right away what it was! shoot a main water leak in my front yard! not the boulevard where it would be paid for by the city... anyway got a guy who i kinda knew that fixes them to stop over and he gave me a list of things to do. get sewer traced and marked which cost me 235.00, have water company come trace out the pipes.. and have everything else marked. this is an old house so who knew what they would all find. anyway it worked where he could go from the boulevard (AND NOT DIG UP MY WHOLE FRONT YARD!) and pull in a new copper pipe and reroute it in the basement,
 so Jaydens dad came and busted a hole in the basement to find the pipe way down there!
 this is my silly Daughter Angie..
 the hole.. but no pipe?
so i had to get the water dept to come and the pipe was a bit lower.. so they dug down further and found it. i would say about 3 feet down.
then Dan came.. now this is the middle of October. i had been getting my water thru a hose from the neighbors.. which im thankful for their patients. but not without a few glitches....



  whoo hoo it worked!


 the city then came a day later and poured a new sidewalk!
 then my son Jeff the Plumber came to reroute the plumbing..

 monster tools!



 Thank you Jeff for taking time from you own job site to help your mum out!

what a process! now waiting for the Bill....

enjoy your weekend my Blog Friends!        Jody
