Day to is over and it went great! We didn’t get started till after late because of the weather. We got out the Bosch hammer drill and went wild on the house foundation, we needed a big hole to get the water line and the 4in pvc through. The foundation was about 15in thick but with that Bosch it was a cake walk. It is one of the newer ones that is a drill/hammer drill/and a power chisel, we drilled about 4 holes then hit it in chisel mode. I am almost done now, Mostly just backfilling the trench more, Pulling the wires through the pipe and hooking up the water to the house water supply. I also have to re concrete the floor around the pipes in the garage and around the pipes in the basement. I am tired but so happy that it is done! I may call in to work tomorrow so I can finish backfilling before more rain hits, I have about 2 feet deep left for about 50 feet or so. I came in a little over budget; I had planned on about $250 in materials and the cost of the trencher rental. BUT today I added it up, trencher rental $130 and materials $150. $280 is still ok though, It would have taken weeks to dig that trench buy hand. Here are a few pics from day 2..
Here is the hole in the house, It is about 8in.
Here is a pic of the water line in the trench, The hose is on it because We were testing the line. 4 feet is deep!
Here is a pic of the two pipes going though the wall in the house foundation, The water pipe is on the bottom.
This is how the pipes come through the wall in the basement. After the foam drys I will cut off the excess and fill in the hole with concrete.
