This must be the worst thing to find when digging footings for a new house extension ❌ Dealing with old lead pipe is a nightmare, and apparently drinking from a lead pipe can cause health issues later on in life. Due to the fact the ground under the driveway was sodden, the drains and water pipe had to be replaced, so to ensure I was able to keep my house extension project on track, I needed to tackle it myself. It took 2 months to assess the issues, learn all about drains and water supplies and do the job. I’m just grateful I don’t have to do it again 😂 #drains #driveway #houseextension #houserenovation #building #ukhouserenovations #1930shome #diy
