Awake: 6:41am Temp 40 sleep 7+06 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
We skipped the KK meeting this morning; the Cunningham guys with their equipment trailer, arrived shortly after 8:20am
& Larry wasn't far behind. When Larry arrived, he took the # 2 pump house off the well-head, & set it aside. Then Dave, operating the excavator, carefully dug down close to the well-head so Larry could start laying the (1) inch pipe from the well-head to the inside equipment room.
We will be using the same pressure tank that we've had since 2004. Now that Larry has attached all the water pipes to the main house, they will not only feed water to the house, but also to the (2) campground campsites.
Meanwhile, the Cunningham guys had opened the plug, making the sewer available, & they dug the trench & raised the lid height for the sewer clean-outs.
Next, the Cunningham guys buried (2) conduits to get rid of my old electrical meter & make the electricity come from the house to our motorhome....as well as the phone system, Coax cable, etc. It hasn't been done yet, but the conduits are ready.
Before Dave left the premises, I asked if he would use his excavator to pull up some of the tree stumps & roots that we have in the lower field. He agreed & afterward, there must have been over (50) of those dead stumps lying around.
Dinner: leftover Minestrone with toast & grapes.
Evening movie: "The Hill" with Sean Connery, Harry Andrews, Ian Hendry, Michael Redgrave, Ian Bannen, etc. Powerful drama of military prison camp, with superb performances by all. One problem: British actors bark at each other and much dialogue is unintelligible to American ears (though, if you can make it through the first reel, hang on).1965. We hung on...it wasn't easy but, oh, what a story!
Lights out: 12:18am.
