Best laid plans, and not-so-good pipes, go awry

The door to my Music Studio is located halfway down a very long driveway.

My driveway isn't exactly driveable at the moment.

Under the asphalt, broken water pipes were hiding.

Even big pipes were no match to tree roots.

We now have a new PVC main water line between the house and the street.

But that's not all...

A bit of our front fence is missing

and the lilacs are sadly kissing the sidewalk.

This is where the backhoe entered the front yard to dig up the old pipes.

Unfortunately, that's not where the broken pipes were located.

Hopefully tomorrow my students will be able to safely enter the studio once again.
