Today's festivities with rented Orange mule.
House trap was sheared off and dropped due to insufficient backfill (no stone in sight)...shoddy construction but, plenty of "plunkies" were found around the outside of the pipe. I took some before pics showing how the front entrance had already dropped since it had been replaced in 2018. I like to CYA when possible.

Dig: (hmmm, no real footing or even stone) . Lots of garbage fill was used.

Look at the red line visible on the brick. That left side had dropped. I actually could see that there was an issue from Google maps street view.

Put the wall back in for now since I needed something to backfill against. Lots of stone with weed barrier to keep the dirt out of it. Look at the kind neighbors pipes...looks like his trap has begun to sink as well. He was a very nice gentleman to allow us access using his sidewalk and taking down his stone wall so that we could repair his neighbors trap. Pretty rare these days. This kindness does shed a glimmer of hope that all is not lost here.
