Digging up the backyard ...

I wish all this madness would amount to a new swimming pool in the backyard ... alas, it did not. We had some broken sewer pipes 8+ feet under the ground and ended up having 45 feet of it replaced.

Wow.

All done. It feels good to know that all is well down in the ground! We've had a few issues with the place since we moved in and this should help solve the problem. :)
