Now is the winter of our disconnect

Lots more fun at stately Ball-Preece mansion. Turns out the main water line between our meter and our house, which ran under our circular drive, had sprung a slow leak. I'll spare you the boring details; but the bottom line is that the most efficient way to fix the problem was to totally reroute the entire pipe through a new trench along the north side of the driveway.

Here you see the old pipe, which had a T-joint near the front of our house. It had to be capped off, which required more digging. (You can see the capped pipe in the very middle of this shot, just below the point of the top yucca leaf.)

Well, whoever buys this house will be getting a lot of nice new infrastructure.
