Fundraising goal lowered by "sweat equity"

With the help of my "DIY Dad" we're gonna try and tackle this ourselves. I've lowered the fundraising goal significantly, and that will go towards materials and paying laborers, and anything leftover will go towards the actual plumbing fix which will be much cheaper now that we're digging up the line ourselves. "Sweat equity" as he calls it. I am beyond grateful for the support I've received so far. Hopefully this issue is resolved sooner than I initially thought!
