Whew. Glad the boss came, but really? A permit to do a root canal on a tree?

Whew from me, too. Does the yard have to be dug up to get at the root and pipe or can it be done from the house or ?? Maple trees seem to invade pipes also. The builder’s special, you know. But I’m glad the boss knows what he’s doing.

I know what it’s like to FINALLY get to take a shower! And to finally get the bathroom repaired! And to finally … well, you get the idea.

Ohhh, such a tree. I understand gratitude for a shower.

The builder who constructed my parents’ house 60 years ago managed to run the gas pipe right across the sewer pipe and then plant a maple tree right on top of both. They had to completely replace their sewer pipe to the street (digging up the yard and cutting a major tree root.) Then on Wednesday, the gas company snaked a new, flexible pipe through the old, rigid, deteriorating one. But replacing the meter did a lot of damage to a mature azelia. Sigh. Shower in peace.

Glad things are working out for you. How could that beautiful tree be causing all those problems?…sigh!

I’m glad you are showering in peace, but I also note you have your perspective well in place. No surprise.

Oh yes…been there, done one before…only ours was a fruitless mulberry….
