IT'S HARDER THAN YOU THINK

Digging ditches is harder than you think.

Yesterday it was time to climb into the skid-steer and get some work done.
Digging ditches with the skid-steer is easy, doing it by hand is harder than it looks.
I wanted the drain to empty out down the hill from the house so a 30 foot trench was dug. Of course we are sitting on bedrock so getting down 3 feet was impossible. I did manage to get it buried deep enough so it is protected from any traffic over it.

The tough part was going between the raised garden beds; that was done by hand.

Just waiting for the rain to see if all works properly.

Thanks for stopping by and safe travels everyone.
