Mom's turn: He's at it again!

Hmmm…what is he up to now??? My HH decided he wanted to dig up the outside water line and replace the pipes because they are rusting. He figures now would be a better time than later after we lay the deck! I suppose he’s right…one more project; that’s exactly what we needed right now!
nothing like having a 20' trench in the middle of your yard - hope it doesn't rain!

When he laid the new pipes down he split the end so that they will feed both garden beds with one on a timer and the other split for a freestanding faucet. That will be nice with our vacationing schedule. He also added a faucet by the house and moved the cut-off valve that was buried up above ground so it’s actually functional now. Now when those rare Southern freezes happen we can cut the water off and have no fear of bursting pipes!
After several trips to Home Depot to get “just the right piece”…the finished project looks wonderful!We got FOUR faucets in practical places and a safer system instead of one in the middle of the yard…he’s such a great handy man! YEAH for a weekend project well done!!


WOW - no trench...didn't think that would happen that fast! and no more rusty pipes with potential leaks lingering in them to worry about!

What a handy guy! What's he doing this weekend? How is he with vinyl siding? :^)

And why is it that any home improvement project takes no fewer than four trips to Home Desperate?
