    Replacing soil pipe and connecting waste gully

    @Hugh Jaleak Cheers, all great info. You're right about sorting other gullies, might as well do it right while I've got this much dug up.

    Replacing soil pipe and connecting waste gully

    Broke up an old concrete slab at the side of my house, discovered cracked and dislodged clay connector below iron stub. Had a suspicion, so I kept digging and found another major crack just after the gully branch under the pipe. Both cracks must’ve been there a while as soil had been washed away...

    Breaking up poured concrete near foul drain and waste gully

    Cutting a channel in concrete floor against exterior wall

    All good info so far thanks everyone. It is in fact circular saw. I entertained the thought to “use what I got”, maybe just buying diamond blade—dust and time were my worry. I do value my time…and I suspect the concrete has been down at least a decade so quite strong. From what I’m hearing so...

    Cutting a channel in concrete floor against exterior wall

    Previously poured concrete ground level too high. I want to cut a channel and fill with pea gravel. I have a circular saw and SDS chisel, but I worry that’s a chore. Anything I can hire to make it easier? Wondering if I’d be able to get flush/close enough to wall with a disc cutter. Side...
