I've been getting posts, although slow, about 14 since then. I figure folks are just busy with the first warmer weather stuffs. Like yesterday I had a fellow with a backhoe in and tore up my front yard from the water meter to the house, replaceing the whole roll of 40+ yo plastic pipe because I had more leaks, we found my fix from last Septembers dig was still good, but 3 more leaks beyond that including some rube goldberg stuff of copper and galvanized right out side the house and the galvanized was rotted out from galvanic. Good thing the guy that did it has already passed or I'd have been tempted to beat him to death with it. Other than that it was a relatively quiet day, but I've got aches and pains in places I I'd forgotten about this morning from fetching the stuff they didn't bring and probably should have. But now I've got all new stuff from the meter to about a foot below the shutoff just inside the basement. We also found 30 feet of the gas line w/o damaging it, the french drain around the house and the gutter run we had to patch. But not the sewer, so we've still after 30 years, not a clue where it leaves. Building codes? What building codes?, the city didn't have or didn't enforce them 40 years ago. Water and gas in the same ditch!. So we made some new ditch for part of it. Hopefully that will be the last of that for 40+ years, by which time it will be somebody else's headache. The guy had quoted me a per hour, I think trying to scare me off, and asked for only 1/3rd of that when he was done. Blew me away. So I paid him the cash price and gave him an extra $70 with instructions that it was a tip for his helper that did all the shovel work. he did a lot of work the hoe couldn't reach and did it willingly. Good help is hard to find, and should be rewarded IMO. A more productive day than usual around the coyote.den, my local domainname.
