Despite weather and radar reports that said we weren't going to get rain, it poured! But the guys from the Town of Lunenburg kept right on going, bless their hearts! They dug up the street to find the water and sewer pipes and then extended them in from the street to our fence. Originally, we had all envisioned that these would come in straight from the street and follow the driveway, but with the insight of the Public Utilities foreman and the engineer, we realized that would be too risky to our beautiful old Linden tree. Although a bit longer and more disruptive to surface plants, it seemed wiser to go between the Linden and the Maple and through a flower bed.
Our wonderful excavation and foundation specialist, Kerry Oickle, came back to dig the trench from the fence to the building. He also made a trench in the gravel and rock, so that both sets of pipes could be run the whole length of the building, inside. Pete Langille, the man with the plumbing skills for the Firehouse, ably assisted by Avery Langille, laid the water and sewer pipes, connected them to the town's versions, and ran the whole thing into the Firehouse. He came back the next day to finish off the job.
