Plumber – Update

IMG_8828.JPGIMG_8829.JPGIMG_8832.JPGIMG_8836.JPG

The plumber completed the job today!  The last picture is how the plumber connected the pex to the copper and used one of my buckets.  Not really sure what I expected but a bucket?

The second picture shows where the copper pigtail ends and the pex line (3/4″) starts.  The pex then runs straight up from where the black top and the dirt touch, then it goes around the equipment room and in.  It ended up that the water line was pvc and not copper.

What do you get for $850?

The first 2 pictures are the plumber locating the water line.  The last picture is a fancy device that helps spot water leaks or that is what he claims it was (looks like headphones and a weight on a roap).  You walk in a line with the device and then walk in circles around the building’s concrete foundation.  Seriously though you can guess where the leak is: it is under the building’s concrete foundation.  The plumber was saying that the water line is so deep that he guesses he would have to rip out a huge area outside and inside the equipment room.  Fun.

So the plan is to run a new water line and forget about the crappy copper line.

Water bill problem!

I love opening my water bill and it is 5 times higher then it was the month before.  The water meter is just constantly spinning (which is bad).  I believe that the water main is so deep that the water will not come to the surface?  This is a picture of William confirming that I have a problem (I needed a second opinion).

New record!

I had someone steal my high pressure gun and foam brush yesterday, which was the first time for this to happen.  There was a leak in the high pressure hose which I guess made klepto take all my stuff.
