Too Good to be True

Well, the plumbers began the replacement of the stack yesterday and unfortunately, things haven't been going too smoothly... They originally predicted that solid pipe for a new connection should be accessed within 5 feet of the stack, however, now more than 25 feet has been dug in the basement floor with no end in sight. So, we have a lovely trench that goes from the stack in the family room through the wall into the guest room and finally into the storage room. It is anticipated that digging will continue outside the house (through our new landscaping wall!) potentially to the street. What gets even more complicated is that the pipe is buried about 8 feet underground outside... This may require additional equipment (and additional funds) to complete... Needless to say, the stress isn't helping my current condition and lack of plumbing is taking its toll as well...
