Got an email from a customer. Evidently, we broke the water feed (a leak) to the house, two months ago. $1000 between the repair and the water bill. Sucks.
We build a pad on the far side of the pipe for dropping the log onto, but not enough, evidently.
I'd put up some pics of it, a dead topped white fir. I felled the log perpendicular to the pipe, parallel to the hill top (flat lawn that dropped 45 degrees to the street). Thought that between the pipe depth, and the pad to put the pressure of impact beyond the pipe, it would be enough. I think that the slope of the hill likely contributed to it.
Asked the customer to send me the plumber's bill, and see if the water company would adjust the bill, since it was due to a leak (I had a leaky toilet at a rental in the past, and the water company did this for me. Amazing how much water can go down the drain in 3 days. 10x's the normal monthly usage.).
I'll see what happens. First pay out for damages for me (I've replaced a couple of fence boards before).
