Main water line to house is broken
Good morning BP! So, we're working on a rehab HUD foreclosure in Duluth, MN. We've recently closed and discovered the water main from the street to the house is broken and needs repair/replacing. Anyone tackled this kind of work in the past? Is this doable for a DIYer?
Thanks much for any feedback!

yes is is possible to DIY... Not sure weather it makes sense in your case or not. I can dig anything I want as long as it is on my property. Mini Excavators rent for $150 per day in our town and even a new guy could get a short line dug up in about a day. (not to mention you will have loads of fun)
Where things get harry is when you go to dig on city property (if you have to) . Usually the city wants you to be bonded and insured. check with you local folks to see what that entails.
I cant see someone else doing it for you for less than $2000. They value their time and heavy equipment is not cheap.
I'm a huge fan of DIY. It builds confidence, and confidence is the first step to success.
