The Gnat Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Not like it's home improvement that I wanted to do, but we had a pipe leading from the house to the sewer main that is breaking, so I'm in the process of collecting estimates for that work. Thankfully there aren't any trees where it's breaking and it's not under sidewalk (either the one in front of the house along the street or leading up too the house, though it is fairly close. It didn't seem like something they thought they'd run into while doing the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might want to double check that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I don't believe so, though, I should double check with insurance on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any pro tips on installing a French drain? I figured it looked easy enough and may solve most of my drainage issues in my back yard. @SMashMouthMike was it you that put in the sump pump in the back yard? if so was it just the pump or did you run a drain to it?

They send out these things on occasion offering optional insurance for like $5-$10 a month to cover water/sewer lines from your house to the street/township responsibility.

The Gnat Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Yeah, I haven't seen anything like that come out since we bought the house a few years ago. It's a city water company, so I'm assuming probably not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey5djh Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Worth checking either way, that stuff ain't cheap. I think it cost my buddy who had to replace his line like 10k or something crazy (not city, line from house to street) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Did some quick research, while some of the suburbs offer it, Minneapolis itself doesn't seem to. Which is a shame, I could add it right now if they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gnat Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 This is potentially really nice, we have service line endorsement in terms of coverage on our home owners insurance, would be a $500 deductible, but that's better than $4k+ in repairs otherwise, reading through it, it appears that it would cover the issue we have going on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspiration: My bar: Full Album https://imgur.com/a/SWDGA I'm honestly still kinda confused why you did it the way you did, but i also didn't realize you were planning to do something so cool with hockey sticks. That part came out amazing. I love that a lot. A lot of kinda weird gaps to try to hide/fill as it actually went, but it also has a kind of custom Ikea vibe, which is pretty alright too? I kinda dig the purity of line to some of it which is the very Swedish/Ikea element, even if it bothers me a lot as a compulsive person who craves evenness and balance.

Unless the city or your insurance company mandates the use of a particular company, get a few quotes. It isn't a complicated repair and should only take a small crew one day.

That part came out amazing. I love that a lot. Thanks. I did it with the upper and lower because I was able to create storage below for all my liquor bottles and a service bar level for creating drinks. (I also avoided an obscenely large bar top) Quote A lot of kinda weird gaps to try to hide/fill as it actually went, but it also has a kind of custom Ikea vibe, which is pretty alright too?

Believe me my OCD was killing me in this project. The one thing I did on the lower service bar top along the edge you can see the uneven edges of the wood. I have since covered that with a piece of goalie stick to give it a decent finished look. What other "gaps" were you referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
