Get a new shovel to backfill?

You ain't got a half dozen other shovels around? I know they may not be you favorite short, D handle one, but sheesh. It's just a backfill job. Get you a new shorty one after you're done and had some Vienna Sausages or such for your well deserved break.

And a licensed plumber is gonna charge ya at least 1 hour of their rate to get that permit also I imagine.
Even if you do 100% of the work.

Good to see that all those years of digging foxholes and latrines all across the world paid dividends on this project.

Good work, Renny!

Homie is getting the 59 yr old jointed and sagging , rust puking and toilet paper and turd hanging cast iron main from under both toilets and out the house to fixed sewer line done.
All super Mario Brothers bullschit galvanized pipe into pvc cluster [bleep] from both showers and sinks in bathrooms redone with pvc into new pvc main.
These plumbers say they can get me 2 to 3 more inches of slope with the new system inside house to sewer line.
And maybe a inch at the foundation going into house side clean out.

More slope
Faster flow and push thru shallow sewer line to manhole.


1 day job 3 man crew from Ben Franklin.
3614.00

Lowest quote .
Some didn't even wanna touch the job..


Homie gonna have smooth pvc and them turds gonna flow.

It's getting their.
Homie using the lever and fulcrum and block up till ergo advantage and gravity worked to get blocks up on other blocks in prep for 2 man lift shuffle step/breaks into place then pull ropes out once set.

Get this front part of trench filled and lawn " cleaned up"
Then look at easy house side trench after.
Maybe in the morning for that and then set the side walk.

Homie ain't killing himself.
Plenty of breaks..
Work till 5...
Maybe 3...
