[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3878983, member: 5412"] I had that issue once. It was on an assembly line where each station waited on each to finish their project and move to the next station. (machine tools) I was never the fastest to complete a job but when done it never had any more issues. Plant manager came out once when a particular repair was taking a little time and he questioned why. Never turned around to look at him but replied I have two speeds I work at. The first is to make sure the work I'm doing is safe for my personal safety and to provide the company with the best work I can do. The second speed I work at you won't like at all and never said another word. I never heard anything from him either and he walked away. We have WATER!! We completed the repair with flexible PEX 1 1/2" plastic pipe. We needed a 10' piece, but I had to buy 300' as that was the shortest length they had. Made the repair and it held. Backfilled the hole and we are good to go for now. The POS that put in the line used schedule 20 PVC vs Schedule 40 which is more than twice as thick. As the ground is shifting with the drought the likelihood of further breaks is imminent. Talked to our friend and asked how much it would cost to run the rest of that PEX down the hill so there would be no glue joints, etc. We settled on a price that was good for us. My task now to clear out the brush and trees up that hill where the line runs so he can get in there with the track hoe and follow the existing line to demo the original PVC and replace with the PEX. He can clear the trees with the Track Hoe, but it costs for his time so to save some bucks I'll do the clearing. Lots of chainsaw work ahead. As a side note, I've cleared most of the brush and trees with a dewalt 20V electric chain saw that has a 12" blade, cutting 8" trees and smaller. Recharged it two times. It runs half a day on a single charge. It's a beast! No hearing protection required. Totally impressed with it. I have bigger Husky and Poulan saws, but no need. [/QUOTE]
