About 4 months ago we started seeing that there was a point in our grass that was WAY green and was starting to grow mushrooms. Zach knew it was our water main leaking so he dug it up to see what was going on and sure enough there was a big hole and a crack in the pipe. It was the old kind of pipe so zach figured we would just run a new line, our land lord called a guy to come look at it and he decided it just needed a "band aide" we said okay but knew for sure we would run into another problem down the road by the way the pipe looked..... Well the next morning I was taking a shower and thought that there wasn't a lot of pressure behind the water, but didn't think much of it cause I had to get ready because we were leaving that afternoon for park city with my family. Then awhile later I could hear what sounded like water still running some where and I walked outside to see our grass was flooded with water and the place we had dug up was a mud whole with water pooring out, I called zach and he sent his dad over to shut it off. We were using water up and FAST!!! Zach's dad called our land lord and told him we just need to run a new line, after that zach's dad went back to work because we had to wait for zach to get home to decide how we were going to do this with us leaving.
When zach got home he decided he would start digging the trench for the new like so that we could get as much done as we could before we were leaving. The first jump on the shovel and water started going every where he had hit the line for the secondary water... It was bad we couldn't find a valve to turn it off!!!
So now we have two whole of water...
Thank fully Jeremy zach's brother in law was driving by and stopped when he saw what was going on... He is awesome and between the two I knew they would figure something out they are both mr fix it!!! They decided the best thing to do would be to kink the pipe until we got someone to shut it off... as you can see water was coming out fast again!!
Zach got a lot dug up before we had to leave but we have amazing family and zach's dad went back over that night and finished digging the trench for us with a little tractor, it was so nice we were still able to go on our little get away and not worry because we knew Guy would have everything done!!
This is when we came home the line was ran and we had water again thank fully!!
Garret liked the tractor!! He road on it for a bit with his dad
This is after we had filled it with the dirt.. then we had to put a hose down in the bottom to make it wet so that the dirt would fill in better...
It was quiet the adventure and now hopefully we will have no more problems with water!!
