This is what our front yard looks like right now. Sewer liner replacement with excavation. Paul Bunyan makes a specialty of installing sewer liners from inside the house without digging, but in our case they couldn't do it due to excesssive "bellying" in the clay pipe section of the main sewer line. 





They explained it all in advance and it seems to be going as planned, but it is still shocking to see your front walk disappear into a 9-foot deep chasm. I was not exactly surprised at the entrenching equipment tearing up the front lawn, but I was surprised how much hand-digging was required. Two sturdy young men spent about 4 hours yesterday and another hour or two today laboring at the bottom of those grave-digger sleeves just to uncover the pipe.

Well, they started out digging a big hole with an excavator that apparently can dig right through permafrost. The gravedigger activity is at the bottom of the hole.
