Modmyths asks:

Have you thought about starting up a Go Fund Me for it?

(It being my broken water line, just to be clear.)

The answer is no, I hadn't thought of that.

But!

I went out and got more bids, and found a general contractor who could do the job for 3k.

That, coupled with a timely tax refund, managed to save the day. The line is all nice and new now.

But thank you, Mod, for your generous offer to help. I greatly appreciate it.

And let this be a lesson to always get multiple bids on large projects!

Take pictures during the process and store them in the place where you keep the important house papers, with DATES marked on them. Years from now when the line may need replaced again, you can point to them and tell the contractor "That's where the pipes are and when they got replaced last."

Very good advice, and I shall heed it.
