Morning all
Just in time to dig up and replace 220 feet of water line. Ugh....Good morning
Got another 40 degree swing today. 32 right now, it'll be 72 or higher this afternoon
That sucks man. Hope the rest of it goes smoothDug about 20 ft by hand, but the ground here is just too damn hard and full of large rocks. Ended up renting a walk behind trencher, and while it beat the hell out of me, it did get the trench dug. Ended up at 215 feet. I will have to bust up the asphalt in the driveway tomorrow, and then trench that, but then I can lay the new water line and tie it in. I’m getting too old for this shit.
Damn, that is a work out, and yes you (we) are getting too old for that shit.Dug about 20 ft by hand, but the ground here is just too damn hard and full of large rocks.

The hardest part is done. Just got to finish the trench through the driveway then start gluing and laying the pipe. I appreciate the good wishes though!Good morning everyone and best of luck with the water line, @RTR...USN (ret). I would say that I wish I could help but I am more of a jackass than a liar.![]()
