Started the day by driving to our local mom and pop hardware/farm store. I needed 132' of 1" black plastic pipe to make it to the house. They only had one 100' lenght, or a 300' lenght. Owner said he would cut off a 150' length from the 300 footer. You have to love smalltown businesses. The extra 20' will get the pipe up into my heated shop.
My son and DIL were up today, son had an extra day off and they helped me burry the pipe. I hit ground water at 4' down and dug the ditch at water level to the house. Still have another 20' of ditch to dig, but I am having to pull out bluestone that I laid as a walkway to the garden to complete the ditch, and had to locate and dig under two buried electric line feeding the well pump and my wind turbine.
I will have to relay the stone next summer when the backfill settles. I will also have to bring in some more dirt to fill the voids from removing all the rocks I pulled out of the ditch.
