I’m not sure where to start…we are still laying transmission pipe, we have 160 feet laid and have 120 feet more to go.

Of course it would probably go faster if we had a back hoe, but we don’t.  First Terry makes a ditch, then the last several inches are dug out by hand, the pipe laid then we cover it up.  This is such a job I keep wondering if it is going to be worth it when we are done.

Still something has to be done…the tile line laid in 1920 is starting to have huge issues, like breaking and flaking off causing the tile to plug up.  We had a nasty mess in one of the corners this year which proved it was TIME to lay new pipe.

We will gradually get it done…shoot only 120 more feet, we are almost there!
