Step 1: Realize that this project is beyond the scope of D-I-Y.
Step 2: Call an excavator.
Step 3: Call a plumber (Excavator can’t do the indoor hook-up. Well, he can, but not legally.)
Step 4: Get out your checkbook, friends, it’s not pretty.
Step 5: Plan to plant grass next summer and hope your trees don’t die!
Oh, Sweetie, I'm sorry this became such a nightmare. But, I'm glad it's been resolved (fingers crossed for good luck). Loveyou,Mom
You forgot Step 5: Commiserate with a good friend and a glass (or two) of wine!
