I started this job yesterday on my own fortunately, my son arrived and assisted me in completing the first step of the process. Our day involved using a concrete saw and jackhammer to remove the concrete which will enable the sewer line to be removed. Much appreciation to my son for giving up his Saturday to help me out!! Hopefully, he is not as sore as his dad is today!
