Ditch digging

The porch roof will have to wait. We have conduit and waterline to run to finish up the RV pads before another volunteer couple arrives later this month. Wielding a shovel is nobody’s favorite task. Boots grow to be 10 pound weights as we slip and squish on rain slickened mud cutting through rock strewn clay and black dirt. Some on-the-fly planning and a number of rain delays really slow progress today but we are set to dive in in earnest tomorrow, if the weather allows! Shovels flailing, our crew manages to dig a 20ish foot long trench 2 feet deep. Only 175 ft or so more to go. No fear though, the backhoe guy gets going on it tomorrow. Yeah!
