Water and sewage

Over the last 2 weeks there has been major work trenching and laying pipes for incoming water, outgoing sewage, and rainwater.

The plumber, Gary Parham, dug massive ditches with the backhoe.  Here a worker is welding together the pipe coming out of the slab (foreground) with the pipe connected to the water main.

This is a picture of our water coming off the main.  This is about 5 feet below the sidewalk.

This is a picture of our sewer pipe connecting to the large sewer under the middle of the street.  The workers had to cut away a big chunk of street pavement, then burrow down about 15 feet!  I was amazed at how deep it was.

Once the plumbers finished and back-filled their trenches, Greg's crew could come back and work on the walls.  As of 10/30/12 they are about 3 feet high and the windows are roughed.  This is Ella standing in her future room.  She has been playing a game with gravel in her room.
