Holy crap!!

Last night Ron went outside to feed the dogs and came in the house yelling for me and running around looking for things. I followed him outside and about died. A pipe had broke and the ground was puddling with water and sinking and it was happening under our camp trailer. We decided we had to just hook the truck to the trailer and try to pull it out and pray it wouldn't sink. Ron made me try to back the truck up and It started to sink on one side a little and Ron was yelling for me to just back up and I was scared so I was panicking. so I jumped out and said i will go find a man to help who knows what he is doing . I ran up the street to the neighbors and now one was home. went to the next no one was home and to the next and no one was home and so I started back home to call another one and and he came right over. They backed the truck up and hooked up the trailer and started to pull. Me and all the kids were in lainees bedroom watching out the window praying that it would not sink. The went slow and eased it out. The trailer went down a little on one side but it luckily came back out and all was well.


The Front jack thing was not even on the wood because the trailer had sunk so far down in the back.
You can see the sink hole under the trailer.It was closer to the tires than it looks.
This was after we had pulled it out you can see on the left side where the tires sunk down.
This was a relief when it was on safe ground.
They had to put logs in the hole that the tuck was sinking in.

Today Ron has started to dig it out to find the leak.
It's getting muddy but no leak yet.
This is my yard now Ron had to go to a meeting at work and then come back and finish. In the mean time I have no water. My dishes are piled up because I could not do my dinner dishes last night (no water). and we cant flush the toilets. I will be glad when it's done but I wont complain because it could be a lot worse. My trailer could be buried there.

Kyla, I had the sewer in my house back up because the pipe froze and flooded the whole basement with sewer. Trailer, Sewer, Trailer, Sewer, can't make up my mind which is worse. Okay, maybe trailer because at least my basement wasn't finished at the time.
