Remember some months ago, when I insisted on a dishwasher, and its installation turned into a plumbing nightmare, where we had to resort to a hose to bring water into the house? Well, now that the days are growing shorter, and the nights colder, it was time to run a new water line from the street to under the house. I was sure that Bill would wait until it started snowing, but fortunately, he picked a good week-end for us to tackle the job. After talking to a number of plumbers, and just how much it would cost for them to run the line, we decided to do it ourselves. I had to dig up two of my flower beds to make way. All I can say is that both of us have never been so tired. My favorite part was where we had to dig up the connection to the street. This entailed kneeling, hanging upside down in a hole, and digging around the connection so we could get a wrench in to disconnect the old pipe. Now I know why plumbers charge so much. And hey, check out Bill’s shirt.
It's a weary job.
Most people don't think of plumbing or take plumbing seriously until something goes wrong with the plumbing system. For those who live in a house with a complex plumbing system or in a place with many people, this can be a nightmare.
