It's About TIME!!!!!!!!

Paul and I have been on a quest. This quest has taken a buttload of time and lots of manpower and lots of input and help from neighbors and friends and family. I am talking about trying to find our blasted water line so that we can put in our sprinkling system.

Our first designated area to search for our little treasure was Hole #1. Straight line from the water meter to our shut-off valve. This hole is about six feet wide and went six feet down. No line.

We didn't even think we would have to dig Hole #2. My lawn is just a mess now. Just great!! The funnest part of all of this is the extremely hard dirt that we encountered in every hole. This hole is probably eight or nine feet wide and went seven feet down. No line.:

It most certainly should have been in Hole #1 or Hole #2. We even had a kind neighbor who does this thing for a living and he showed us where it would be....so we dug two more feet to the east and went down seven feet and....no line!! We had a neighbor with a metal detector...that couldn't detect it. We had several landscaping neighbors trying to help us figure out where it would be and our good friends, the Edmunds, even came out and helped us dig. NO LINE!!

Hole #3:

We finally found it!!! After everything, we decided to dig in the park strip right next to the bloody meter itself. There it was....only THREE bloody feet down. THREE!!!!!! And you know where it heads??? Straight for Hole #2....that was seven feet deep. Where does the line go once it goes under the sidewalk??? That's anybody's guess.

But here it is....finally. Right below our cable and gas lines. That was sure fun. DON'T call us if you need help digging for anything - WE DON'T DIG ANYMORE!
