I Hate Mud!!!


we're just finishing up one of the muddiest jobs we've had in years. having to rock in a slotted pvc pipe and dump in a submersible so the soil doesn't all turn to snot. look at the soil that's compacted, borderline bubble gum.

Re: I Hate Mud!!!


1" type k copper water/4" pvc sanitary sewer...you mean the vertical pipe with the hose sticking out? we dug a hole 3-4 deeper than the depth the water/sewer lines were at, stuck in that piece of slotted 8" pvc, backfilled around it with rock...dropped a submersible pump in there to lower the water table.
