After the work was finished, I dug out a small bench or terrace in the wall of the pit (which was a little over three feet deep) and placed one of my stoneware effigy pots (a seated human figure)there to forever look over the repair job and keep it secure. I filled the pot with some coins, shells, pieces of coral and sand from Tahiti and a few other trinkets. Not only do I hope it takes care of my water main, but I like the idea that 2000 years from now, some future archaeologist might be digging up the foundation of our house and find that little guy, and our worlds will come a little closer.
