Extreme Makeover: Fence Edition, Part 3

For those of you who care the slightest bit about our fence project..... here is the update you've been waiting for. I know this has kept you up at night.

The plumbers estimated that it would cost us about $1800 to fix the broken sewage line. We were just about to have a bake sale or sell one of our children when God provided another way. Soon after the sewage line was broken, we went to dinner at someone's house from church. We told them about the sewage line and the man (with a background in plumbing) said he could help fix it with some simple materials from the hardware store. We are so thankful for this man (Barney!) who came and helped Nathan fix the line. We only had to pay for some materials and then for Roto Rooters to come clean out the line. Hooray!

I think the best part was watching Nathan down in the hole shoveling out around the broken line. Two retired couples were standing above the hole just watching him. Then one of them went in and used the restroom, forgetting about Nathan in the hole. Out came some bubbly, warm urine.... and Nathan just kept shoveling without saying a word.

The evening it got fixed, I left a roll of toilet paper on our neighbor's porch with pretty ribbon tied around it... and a note thanking them for their patience throughout this situation.

Thanks to my husband for fixing the sewage line and many praises to God for His hands in the matter and for finding a cheaper way out for us!
