Since it was another very late day, everyone was was tired. The general consensus was if you try to fix something this late in the day, with everyone tired, it will not go well.
Terry had turned the water off already so we all headed home for a rest.
Then back early, early the next day to find the leak.
Richard ‘witched’ for the line. I found this really cool. He let me try. I could do it.
Neat!
Then it was time to begin.
Yep, there it was. A rock…more than likely, as the boring machine head and pipe moved under the road.
It took some time…a run to the hardware store, repairing the leak, turning the water back on,
Then covering the hole; making the road perfect again, (Once more it was getting late in the day…you can see the shadows are from the west as they work.)
Since the next day was going to be another HUGE big day — with the need to be rested and refreshed. The work stopped for the night.
See you tomorrow when we work on the the tile line in the field!

Sorry for all the trouble. That has been my experience with remodeling. There are always hidden things that force a change or another repair. I’ve learned to figure double the time and cost when I’m thinking of doing a project. You’ll get it done!

Eek. Invariably, working on one thing can affect others, inadvertently. Reminds me of “…she swallowed the spider to catch the fly, I don’t know why she swallowed the fly…”

Yep…it seems to always take something else to finish up what you wanted to do. 🙂

I’m glad you were able to get the water line fixed. It’s just too bad that it took all day to fix.

I didn’t know if I could! It was a HUGE fun thing to learn! Terry says he witched for electrical lines that were underground until the company got locators!
