I don't know if I blogged this earlier, but I am replacing my sewer. This was an unforeseen part of the new garage project. My old sewer line ran directly under the garage, and would not survive the pouring of the new, heavier-duty concrete pad. So we hired a plumber to move the line. I hope he'll be finished with it today.
The original line is 78-year-old terra cotta – I'm surprised it's lasted as long as it has.

been there, done that! Feels good that at something in this old house works!
that tells us a lot!
the old stuff is better than we may think...
but be pretty sure, the modern stuff they will build in now will never last this long...
by the way, in Rome, Italy, there are still sewers around wich are some hundrets and some thousands of years old...from the old romano people and such
