Water pipe arrives! Unfortunately, my dad no longer has his trencher, so country boy rents one for the weekend. We packed the hours of the few days digging trenches all over the place.
Friday was spent starting from the water meter and setting out the pipe.
Photo Op! A view of the cattle pond.
Saturday fun.
Found a rough spot with rock, so dad had to dig through that section with his backhoe.
No problem.
Had a little rain Saturday evening, but once it stopped, we got back at it. Worked as long as we could, with the help of truck lights. We were on a mission to get full use out of this rented trencher, and get this done!
Sunday
There is only so much one can do while another is sitting on top of a trencher. So as country boy trenched ditches, inch by inch, I took the horses out for the day. Drummer boy and I worked with the horses and assisted as needed. (Translation: we ran to the hardware store, measured ditch depth as needed, ran errands, etc.) You know, the important things.
Once break was over, drummer boy and I took the horses home so we could help start connecting the pipe and putting it in the ditch.
The rest of the week is spent finishing connecting pipe, laying it in, and continue to backfill ditches.
To be continued...
