Richard’s Plumbing of the Day

We continue to wait for someone to dig our trenches for water/sewer (maybe this weekend?), so Richard worked on a smaller task he could complete on his own. We have always needed a water shut-off for this house, but we really need it now to shut all the water off once we move.

So, Richard witched the water line to find where it came out of the house, dug down to the water line, cut the line, and inserted a shut-off and drain! We will leave it open til tomorrow to make sure there’s no leaks, then will cover it over with dirt and the pipe to hold dirt off the valve so we can reach down and turn it off/on as necessary.
