Shawn Andrey guides the claw of an excavator 10 feet beneath the surface of Stickney Avenue in Brandon on Thursday. Andrey and his co-workers from Quarry Hills Excavation were contracted by the city to dig down to the sewer main. They are connecting pipes to a property that is planned for development by Habitat for Humanity next to the North End Community Centre. The hole in Stickney Avenue is set to be filled back up on Monday. (Connor McDowell/The Brandon Sun)
