For what it's worth, our house is new and things keep breaking in it all the time too. I keep saying our house is cursed because there is no way we should be spending the amount of money fixing things that we are in a brand new house! Sometimes being an adult stinks, doesn’t it?

I dunno how hard it would be to use one though. So sorry you've got water main issues. I guess stuff like that is the benefit to being a renter. Meh. I think I'd still rather have a house...

Especially when other people opt to maintain them. =) It's mind boggling, sometimes, that MORE doesn't break more often. I mean, there are homes that are hundreds of years old. Still standing. Still putting up with our nonsense. So impressive! I love older homes. Especially when other people opt to maintain them. =) It’s mind boggling, sometimes, that MORE doesn’t break more often.

We could even name it "Digging for Water" or some such heart-grabbing title so that people automatically think we're digging wells for impoverished children in Africa, but really, it's for scUtah's current owner.

Do you know anyone with a backhoe? If I'm still living in this silly-ass state next year I'll help you dig; although my fat ass would probably be more of a hindrance than anything...

Neither does shelling out 5 grand out of your own pocket though. Ugh. Sorry to hear about this mate. Did you have to pay anything out of pocket for the quick fix this time around? I wonder if you'll get more years out of this fix than the last time. Digging a 60ft trench doesn’t sound like any fun whatsoever. Neither does shelling out 5 grand out of your own pocket though.
