Walter White could've figured this whole thing out
Could have something to do with this too.

Meh. Heading to Town Hall to get our emergency repair permits sorted. Work was supposed to start today, but the contractor's having problems. Seems it's very cold and things keep freezing all over the place
Tomorrow is go-time. Ish.Right now we've got a hose running from our next door neighbors place, which is fab. Almost like everything is working! Except that it ain't.
The insurance adjustor is coming out tomorrow as well. Not sure if this is covered, esp. as, barring digging the whole thing up, there's no way of knowing what's going on under that 140' of frozen tundra.
These guys. They gave us an estimate for a small job in Hillsborough and it was a total scare-fest. Triple what it ended up costing. Sucks that they didn't have to admit fault, but at least they got dinged.

At least it's all headed in the right direction. Hopefully insurance can do something.
yeah, those guys are a big bag of fucktards with plumbing wrenches. we had a near miss with them as well. fucking shit bags.

After we had a toilet back-up, they told us our sewer main needed to be replaced. "$20000 and they could start immediately." They would even deduct the $200 we paid already! The next guy who came to give and estimate said "I'll do it for $14k without even checking to see what was wrong.
Final estimate came from our (new plumber for life) who said it was all BS. There is nothing wrong except that our low flow toilet was a piece of crap, one of the worst ones out there. Replaced the toiled for a few hundred dollars and haven't had a problem in years.
Welp, things are happening!
Hope they marked your gas line too.....
Gas has been marked. Happily veddy fahr from what's going on right now. The water line has been consistently at 12 to 16 inches along the 15' that's been dug out so far. Really fine work done by whoever did it back in the day. I'm sure AJ Perri's involved somehow

The last owner was a shitheel who beat the hell out of the place and raised pit bulls. Half of our mail on some days is debt collection and legal stuff for them.
The pipe they're pulling out is 50 year old 3/4" galvanized. This house has been nickled and dimed for a long time. We're the lucky chumps who got to be there when the vig came do.
