A Lot Going On!

First hole being dug.

Well as you can see two weeks ago the renovations to fix our leak started out swimmingly. The guys had to replace cracked tiles and we thought maybe just one or two needed replacing. It turned out that they to dig out the left side of our house and a big hole in our lawn. About 8 weeping tiles were replaced and a new pipe put in.

An old pipe.
A pipe that will break easily. Adam demonstrated this by throwing a rock at it.

In total it took 8 days to fix. The guys were at the house on an off for a few hours at a time. There was lots of drilling and digging happening and I realized what it must feel for people who get their house renovated for months on end. I was just happy it was all happening outside.


The side all dug up.

It's all finished now and we are ready for a heavy rainstorm. Let is rain, let it rain. Now we just have to get the cement filled in where they filled the hole with dirt.

I'm off to camp as a counselor so will have adventures to talk about when I return. Just pray I don't see any cougars.

Till then,
