more digging today but with a super crazy ditch witch extreme! the trench on the north side of the building needed to dug down to 42 inches below grade to house the 3 inch pipe that the power would come from the street to the meter in. i measured that on my person to get an idea of how deep it was…up to my ribs. so needless to say its deep, not for digging by hand. it was a little tough to get started because there was already a trench about a foot deep and 3 feet wide that kept us from being able to just drive the “barreto” out and start trenching. so we had to gather 2x12s to make a surface to drive it out onto. it took forever to get it to the end because we had about 12 boards that we had to cycle from the back to front and slowly drive out there. we did finally make it out there and started digging. i was too afraid to dig; i left it to adrain and cody. every time that they would lower the arm to dig the machine would almost pull itself off the platform. we got almost half of the trench dug so more will ensue tomorrow.
