So here’s the final chapter in our exciting tale of the Saga of the Leaking Pipes. The awesome crew of L&M Ditching arrived at 10 AM and started digging and cutting holes – I mean really, DEEP BIG HOLES to run new sanitary lines and water pipes through. Scary stuff! Genoa kept a pic log of all the work (see the link below) so we could see what was happening far, far away in the land of Winnipeg and wherever else we may be (Ian is somewhere between Winnipeg and Greensboro NC right now…hopefully – but that’s another story!)
Martin and the L&M Ditching crew get a HUGE round of applause and BIG thanks for all their great work today. Genoa says you are all GREAT guys and I guess you made this a lot less stressful than it could have been. We can’t wait to see the end result when we’re there in a couple of weeks, until then we have to make do with the pictures that Genoa posted. If you have ever wondered about how this type of thing works and what exactly is involved in replacing water and sewer lines, (…and really, who hasn’t wondered that I ask you??) – here’s your chance to see it ‘close up & personal’ – well maybe not quite as personal as having your own yard and floors torn up…but close enough.
All in all, I guess I’d have to say it’s kind of like having a house root canal…something you fear & avoid until you have no choice, but then afterward, you realize it really isn’t all that bad – and your teeth don’t hurt anymore!

Saga of the Leaking Pipe – EPCOR to the Rescue

Things are looking up…EPCOR provided a couple of referrals for the work. I called one – L&M Ditching – and they will go out this morning to try to get an interim fix on the inside valve so we can have a temp water supply. Then provide a quote on the work to replace sewer and water line – apparently best to do both at once!! <:o $$$$
