Shawn Andrey guides the claw of an excavator 10 feet beneath the surface of Stickney Avenue on Thursday. Andrey and his coworkers at 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 to be developed by Habitat for Humanity, beside the North End Community Centre in Brandon. The hole in Stickney Avenue is set to be filled back up and back to normal next Monday. (Connor McDowell/Brandon Sun)
