September 2nd and 3rd 2013, a whole bunch of digging took place. Some of my flowerbed had to be removed because of it. But there is a silver lining in every cloud :), and as a result we have water to all the places we need it and hydro to all the places we need it.
The start of the dig...
trenched approximately 1/2 way. Apparently clay soil is good for backhoe work, it doesn't cave.
Hydrant #1 completed! Yay!
Hydrant #2 completed September 3rd for the garden and flowerbeds...
As well as hydrant #3 for the water trough by the barn.
Thanks to Remple Backhoe Services for coming to dig. Two 10 hour days and the job is done.
