The Hole

We finally got a quote yesterday - $3390, plus $2400 for work that only applies to me, fixing the connection from my bathroom to the main line, and adding an access port. They guys got here around 10. First, they tried to break the floor with a sledgehammer. That apparently didn't work, so they brought in a jackhammer. In case you were curious, a jackhammer in a 2 bedroom condo is really really load. The walls do nothing!

Judging by the stench, they have the main sewer line open. It sounds like they need to replace a bunch of the pipe. They showed me earlier, and there were some pretty big roots growing into that joint, which is fantastic. I'm amazed that the tree out front is burrowing close to 40 feet under my house. That's something to keep you up at night.

Not sure how much longer they can stay, I'm hoping I don't have an open sewer in here overnight. We'll see.
