AHHHHHH

So, for the past...eight months or so (I think), we've had the shittiest water pressure imaginable. So today, it was nice and I decided to dig up the pressure regulator valve and replace it. Problem here. My dad built a two-story monstrosity over the black plastic thingie that protects the PRV. Well, it wasn't like, completely over it...well..I'll let the pictures tell the story.


THE SAGA, IN PICTURES:

As you can see in the above picture, the building thingie lies diagonally across the black plastic thingie that has the PRV in it.
The Hole. You can't tell, but it's about two feet deep. The white thingie in the foreground is the water pipe that I almost broke. Hehe. Notice the hard, red clay.

I HAS AN AXE!
See my shoe? Also, the little tiny brass thingie inside the black plastic cave is the thing I need to replace. Also, see how I could have easily replaced the brass thingie if a FUCKING BUILDING HADN'T BEEN ON TOP OF IT?!?!

I also broke the shovel. FUCK.

My father is an idiot.
