You never know what you’re going to find when you start digging! 😂
The homeowners asked me to remove an old, mysterious trellis in their backyard. Simple enough, right?
Well, turns out the original homeowner was a pipefitter at Bath Iron Works, which might explain what we uncovered.
A massive, heavy-wall steel pipe filled with solid concrete and anchored into an enormous concrete footing nearly 5 feet deep.
Our best guess? 6,000–7,000 pounds of pure misery buried in someone’s backyard.
We have absolutely no idea what the original plan was, but one thing’s for sure… whoever installed this thing REALLY didn’t want it going anywhere!
Just another day at the office!
