Awake: 5:55am Temp 5 sleep 6+55 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
Lots of activity @ our place this morning; Dave is maneuvering the Excavator & digging more trenches.
Steve is running the small Deere machine taking the black sand pile & pouring it onto the trenches for a cushion;
later after the tubes are covered up again with the black sand,
Steve will start covering up the tubes & the trenches with the dug out earth.
Then the (2) guys that Brian sent up from Somerset are helping pull & push the tubes from the trenches slowly into the large pipes that are buried & lead into the equipment room.
Later, the Deere machine returned & covered the tubes with more black sand. It was fascinating to watch...especially from the main floor.
Of course, the tubes are longer than necessary just to be on the safe side, but after all (16) came out from the equipment room, there was no space to do anything except to shorten the bundle.
Once the guys from Somerset had all the tubes safely inside, they bowed to the excavating & Deere guys, & they were on their way south.
On a different subject, here is a picture of the water pump & auto-shutoff valve area in our motorhome.
Up close you can see the crack that is leaking water.
I hope I can fix this problem with epoxy soon; it's a nuisance having a water leak, especially
in extremely cold weather.
Dinner: leftover tuna noodle casserole with toast.
Melissa called us mid evening: a casual call & then.....she announced to us that she is
pregnant with # (5). Wha hoo!
Lights out: 11:22pm.
