Sewer, I hate sewer

It was a battle royale at the gallery today.

I dug sewer pipe today. I HATE sewer pipe. I started following the cleanout in the garage. It lead down diagionally to a plastic pipe. Good news. 2 feet closer to the house it turned to clay pipe. Not so good. 2 feet later it turned into concrete. Worse. 2 feet after that it lead to a kitchen barrel grease trap. Now we're in nightmare catagory.

I just kept digging.

And breaking concrete with sledge hammer and bar and shovel.

HOURS later I had a good path through the old kitchen trap, has unearthed the "Y" that lead to an angled pipe for the kitchen and was still digging my butt off. Then I started trenching under the foundation for my "future" pipe. I tunneled under for a bit. 18 or 20 inches in I hit more concrete. I took that out with a 1/2 inch by 6 foot steel pipe and a freakin sledge hammer. Things work if you simply refuse to admit the impossibility and insanity of it all.

I quit around 7ish to come take a long hot bath. Tomorrow maybe I'll dig down inside the house and find the tunnel from the other side.

Oh and Pablo was in taping drywall today. He works so hard and does such good work. It's really cool to watch. You should come see......
