Earlier this spring the city informed us that we will be getting a new street this summer. We always said that when the city comes through we need to replace the sewer system in one shot. So, the plumbers came on Monday, ripped up our driveway and the basement. As they were trying to connect to the house the pipes under the house collapsed. In the video you see only the beginning (this was lunch time and I came home for a bit). When I got home at 4PM there was a mountain of dirt and 1/2 the basement floor was gone! But now we have ALL new sewer as well as a roughed in 1/2 bath in the basement. What these pictures don't show is that early that afternoon while still working on our house the crew also excavated our next door neighbors (white house in pics) and were done with them before they were done with us! But they did get it done in 1 day! Now we are ready for the new street. Morgan is diggin' all the big trucks - she tells everyone we have Big Trucks in front of our house.
Wow, quite the project. And done in one day?? I have seen projects like that go on all summer. Kudos to you guys, talk about ready for repairs!
