A New Water Line

Our waterline at Old Farm was heroically replaced steering 10' around an old cistern, under street & driveway crossings and large rocks under the house exit wall foundation. A one day dig job was 5 days with extra inspections and help with new grounding and electrical wiring.





















The new plastic line now comes out the back of the house and curves, eliminating 2 right angles and metal pipe problems. 

There were also 3 gas lines on the property and an extra septic line to the garage they ran into and had to repair!


Final hook up to the house required much digging by hand to move large rocks from under the foundation. A 4' pointed metal "Mole" was shot 6' underground to create a path for 1" plastic tubing - which became lodged in rocks under the house. Ugh.


Two buckets of soil were leveled in the back & side of the house and driveway. I put straw mats over the 2 large grass seeded areas. All quite unbelievable.
