MUD FUN!!!


The other day Andy went into the crawl space to see what was wrong with the T.V reception. He did not take a flash light and noticed that his feet were getting muddy and wet. He found a flash light and with that some bad news. The main water line was leaking and there was a 1 to 2 inch's of standing water. We he got shovel and started digging. After two days and a repair in the line this was the situation.





As you can see from above the picture the hole is full of water. That is a problem because at the time of this the hole had been emptied of water 4 times. Andy checked the water meter and saw that the counter dial was still spinning. The dial was still spinning and there was no water turned on in the house. At this point this is the fourth time that there had been a water leak. So the answer to the problem.


As you can see for the picture there is quite bit of water in the trench. In fact the whole trench was full of water, so it made for a really muddy mess. Most likely the leak was in more then one place. The old water line just got to stay in the ground because the trench was a mud bog. Now when there in no water running the house the water meter dial in not spinning. WHAT FUN!!!
