Our last post about trenching the gravity fed water system was over a month and a half ago. Since then, we have been busy with work, holidays, and other projects around the house.
Now that the main winter holidays are behind us, and there is no snow on the ground, back to trenching he goes. Tony now has just over 1,500 feet of pipe laid, and still has about another 150 feet to go to the holding tanks. Once he gets to the holding tank area then he will have to lay another 200 feet of pipe from the new well down to the holding tanks.
The last few hundred feet of trenching has not been easy since Tony has had to dig through large amounts of rock. The final stretch will hopefully be much easier and go much quicker.
Here are some pictures of what Tony has done so far…
