I got a call yesterday morning from the man whom we chose to run the plumbing from our new water main to our house. He said, "Read about you in the paper yesterday. I was feeling sorry for you with all those kids and that arsenic water. Could I come over today to at least run your pipes?"
Uhhh........ YEAH! So they arrived at my house an hour later, and started working.
First they dug this deep, but rather small hole in my yard, laying aside the turf so that they could put it back on when they were done.
Then they measured the distance to their entry point.
They sealed off the basement to capture the dust.
Then they started drilling underground to that little hole that they had dug. It was extremely loud, and my house was a disaster for the day. The water authority approved our water main at 3:30 and gave us permission to hook up, so the guys worked until 12:30 in the morning. Today we have water, no indoor signs that the men were here, and no extra landscaping to do! They boys were so excited to be able to drink out of the tap that they rushed to the bathroom and stuck their faces under the faucet! Oh, happy day!
