I suspect I was right where you are at one time in my life.
My old uncle, who everybody but me and him thought were carbon copies of each other, told me the secret for getting things in life was to hold it close, let your mind go back to it often, dream it.
Somehow life throws it back your way.

Not necessarily. The tank has a air bladder. Itās possible that water has permeated the bladder rendering it ineffective in maintaining pressure. If the bladder is compromised it may still āholdā a certain pressure but wonāt allow a higher pressure to build and or hold. Itās the compressed air on the dry side of the bladder that creates the pressure experienced at the fixture I.e shower/faucet.

I hear ya bud. Living in Toronto, at my age and with my profession the only way I am able to afford a house is by taking over my Grandmotherās home after looking after her during the final years of her mental clarity before alzheimerās and dementia took her from us. They lived here since 1967, and my Grandfather was both a machinist and a carpenter so the interior is mostly hand built. He ran a company that outfitted LICKās Homeburgers and many diners with their counters; so itās like a Peter Sellers film in here with diner countertops anywhere a countertop can be.
Growing up in this city I thought this was all achievable but as the years progressed most folks that grew up with me here had to leave the GTA to even start to afford to buy a home, or they live at home again with their folks, or left the province all together.
Fuck, a friend who bought a condo in the early 2010ās sold this 1 bedroom box in a tower of concrete and was able to afford a massive property and house by moving to Saskatchewan and working online from said mansion

Not 100% sure. It probably does mean itās ok. If the line is inside the pvc pipe couldnāt you take it out and feed a new one in if you need without digging it all up?

There is no way to feed it through, the pipe does a 90 deg turn towards the lake. Itās also not PVC protected the way down to the lake. This place was built in 1970 and a Reno was done.a few years later adding the sun room and jacking it up to put in a full basement. Because of the depth of the line underground the PVC would have been put in to protect the pipe. Just no shortcuts to get to it unfortunately.

Itās all good bud, I am accustomed to this, it goes with having a second home. This is going to be good really since for the first time I scored a second week off in a row. That means while normally this would kill my vacation in this case I will just get all the shit work done and than be able to relax instead of going straight home
