#18 Project Update (Thursday morning)

We did not have to replace the last 2 sections of pipe by the lake, which was a huge relief.  They were a little out of round, but were not cracked.  Tying in was a bit challenging due to the slight differences in shape, but we were able to get it done.  At the end of the day yesterday(Wednesday), we had installed the first 20' section and dug back the next 2 sections of pipe.  Things should go much quicker now that the tie in is complete.  We should have a much better idea how much longer that the project will take by the end of the day today.
