house paranoia

[dirtylibrarian]

Being a homeowner can be worrisome.  After I replaced the furnace, I crossed my fingers and knock on wood all the time hoping I won' t have to deal with any more big repairs for a long while.

But a girl gets worried sometimes.  Today, while out doing a bit of weeding (my goal is 5 minutes minimum of yard work a day for the month of June), I noticed a crack in my lawn.  Under the tree.  Out by where the sewer line is supposed to be.  And suddenly I am paranoid that this is a sign of some terrible, huge repair in the waiting.  Google was no help, as crack and lawn just brings up stuff about faulty lawnmowers.

Anyone ever heard of such a thing?  Any advice? Ack!

The grass was greener and lusher over my sewer line. I didn't have a crack in my lawn -- that looked like the best part of the lawn. But the green grass grew in a straight line across my lawn, which was how I knew that the sewer line was leaking. I think it was something like $2000 to replace.

Hey Dawn, so I can't go camping this weekend. I hope you were able to find a friend to go with! Also, are you doing anything fun tonight? I'm looking for something to do.
