Diggin' it...

John pressurized the solar hot water connections and deemed the pipe ready to bury.  Thank heavens for Tony who lives just up the road and his little backhoe!  P1 - digging the trench. P2 - filling it back in again.  (Please note they did remember to put the pipe in before P2.

P3 - The ground ended up a bit too high next to the back of the house so...
P4 - Smoothing out the dirt.

Some of you seem to think we work hard but it's nothing compared to Tony.  He's a roofer by trade and was on the job (roof) at 5:30 this morning (about an hours drive away) and came over here after he got off work.  Meanwhile John & I slept in until 6:30, cooked breakfast for the last of our guests etc. etc.  We have life easy!

PS - I hear that some of you may not remember Earlville's "house in the hole".  This is the blog link that has a photo I did in an earlier post.  http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=33215318#editor/target=post;postID=115849632668164455;onPublishedMenu=overview;onClosedMenu=overview;postNum=4;src=postname
