The backyard on a rainy day in October ...



Who invented the Wheelbarrow? Thanks - b/c we use it often! :)
The trench ... up next: lay the pipe, fill the trench back up with dirt.
Check that out - the last section of the trench that needs to be cleared away. It's full of gnarly tree roots ... Yes, we'll be happy when all that pipe is buried and the electrical lines are tucked away down under the rocky ground.

Digging the trench in our backyard ...

This old house has a bunch of electrical lines running from the house through the backyard to the pole behind our house.
There they are.
In order to get rid of them, we need to dig a 3 foot deep trench and bury conduit so that when our garage is finished, the City can come out and fish the lines down through the conduit.

This is NO easy project. The ground is full of rocks and tree roots ...

It will be so nice to have all the lines underground ... We're in a bit of a rush because the concrete is being poured on Monday the 8th. GO TEAM!
