thank.s h.j/
had it camered. rest looks trouble free. old sewer is from 1959.
got a good tip, i'll put sodium copper sulfate crystels at 2 mission joints,
that will stop roots at new joints. no other root problems. at ist i was ready to do 70ft of new pvc, but have nice exposed agrt. sidewalk above rest of line. bad section was in dirt. thank,s tool
