Ah On more day and on more week gone....

What a week so far. Monday we retested the pipe run that hadn't tested for us last week. My first pipe run that didn't pass its first test, we dug it up and found two broken pipes. Not really my fault, more of a manufacture problem, but nonetheless I still lost sleep and stressed about it. Last friday, we replaced the broken pipe and then filled the line with water. The water in concrete pipe will oxidize and seal up any small cracks or pits that may leak. So Monday we retested it and the inspector said it had to hold for six minutes, it held for five and a half. I told him that I thought his numbers were wrong and that if he wanted to five me his formula I would come up with a time for the test in which we would pass. He went back to his office recalculated and called to inform us that it only had to test for 2 minutes. It passed at that point.
Tuesday we put 230 feet of pipe with one manhole in, only took about 5 and a half hours. We just go to fast some times. Wednesday, we replace some 24 inch concrete pipe that we put in about a month ago and the guard rail guys come through and drilled they post right through out pipe in to places, so we had to take all of it out back to the manhole in order to replace the two in the middle of it. Today we got another manhole and a little over 210 feet of pipe in the ground in about 5 and half hours and then had to find a bunch of little thing to do to get the rest of day in. Tomorrow we get to put some more pipe in the ground hopefully.
So all in all it has been a pretty good week, a little frustration from all of us staying up here but, we are just damn tired of it.
