Looking down in the sump: Ladder, pump, chain & track to lower the pump |
In the basement, the sewer line & electric line are caulked - and later cemented |
Next day, steel bollards and concrete are added |
Concrete pad around the sump. It's a few inches high to keep water from running in. |
Wiring the grinder pumps |
Trench and pipe are in place up to Conshohocken State Road |
Hole is dug in the middle of the street, exposing phone line boxed in wood, and water(?) pipe |
The main sewer line is way down there . . . |
The next day, the street is blocked to connect to the main sewer line. |
