The weekend before the sewer connection required us to do a little preparation work. We had to reroute the kitchen sink into the washer drain line. This required being under the house which we all know is wonderful. We also had to cut out a section of the deck to expose the old washer drain pipe and to dig part of the trench.
The last thing that we had to do was limb up the cedars so that the construction equipment had room to maneuver.
We've posted the photos to a Picasa album.
2010-08 Sewer Connection |
Everything works and we've paid the contractor and the city. This was not a cheap project. If we had been more savvy, we'd have had the side sewer connection run under the front lot when the front house was being build. It probably would have cost less. But it would have meant dealing with the horrible developer.
The contractor (Bolles Construction) was fabulous. They were very professional and left the site in very good condition. They even dumped the left over crushed gravel at the end of the driveway thus filling in the muddy holes that have been there since we bought our house. We are very appreciative!
thank you so much for the sewer line install pics!
ReplyDeletedo you think you will have problems with the old cast iron pipes in the future, under the house?
