Thanks Baz,

I’m questioning my sanity…….

Back in 2013, the airport had a fence contractor drill through a 8” water main directly above our property. Without going deep into the weeds, a lot of hillside damage occurred. After 5 years in court fighting for damages and after paying attorney fees, we didn’t have enough to pay a contractor to do the job. Besides, prices substantially increased between 13 and 2018, not to mention now.[emoji849]

So this has come down to me, myself and I in getting it done. I guess it’s my personality and the way I roll. If it fails, then I only can blame myself. Kinda why our complete HVAC removal and replace took so long a couple years ago. I had a friend help me and I was able to do a quality job the I know a commercial operation could not since time is money. Besides, I ended up fixing so many issues with the house. I now know what it means to be “drinking buddies” with the city building inspector, literally…. The builder/contractor was good friends with the BI, and the house should have never pasted final.

Cheers



More drainage culvert work with the “mistress”
Even some house work done by the locals.
