Replaced watermain!

I'm tired, have a back pain.... but we did it. The lead watermain is replaced by a Polyethylene (PE-40) tube. Replacing the lead tube wasn't easy because there wasn't a clear path from front to back. I had to open up the floor in three places. We used a spring line and the lead tube itself to pull the PE tube through. I'm glad my brother in law was there to help me, I couldn't have done it without him.

A high density version of PE (HDPE) is also used for the watermain here in the street. It's inert to most chemicals, acids etc.

Below is a picture of the tube we used. I'll post some pictures of the couplings in a few days.
