17 years in the waiting

I've been slow-rolling KnArrow Haus construction for several yeaers just waiting of the water connection to be approved. And the water system has been waiting for over 17 years! A story for another time. 

But as I considered the prospects of connecting up KnArow Haus to the water main, I chickened out. The thought of attempting to connect up without leaving my neighbor's connection in a shambles was just too daunting. My line to the house is 1" poly. My neighbors line is aging 1" PVC. And the water main is 1" poly terminated by a PVC shutoff valve.

I was able to round up a professional plumber on the East side of the mountains willing to come up on Wednesday.

The "old" water box with its 1 existing connection.

The pros at work.

The resulting "new" connections with independent shutoffs -- expansion PEX and brass.
