When the city came out and ran a dye test yesterday, we confirmed that the clean out just outside the house did run to the front of the road. However, they didn't run the test from inside the house, and Tony was confused by their result as he'd found a lot of buildup in the sewer pipe. Well, today we figured out that even though they ran the new line down the side of the house, they never connected it.
That's ok, we did that ourselves, and that's the best way to do things - we'll essentially have brand new drains throughout the house, with plenty of slope to the main drain. Here you can see where Tony connected the new line to the outside drain:
The backwater valve and cleanout will be just inside Dave's panic room (we'll have to disguise it a bit, in case he tries to escape through the valve!):
Then Tony marked the locations of the remaining new drains and clean outs. Tom's guys will cut channels, labour will remove the concrete, Tony will run the drains, then we'll fill it all back up and wait for the framers.
We started forming the footings in the late afternoon.
