Woody Posted November 3, 2021 #1 Posted November 3, 2021 I told my kids get an education or you will end up digging ditches, well it turns out digging ditches pays pretty good. I decided I wanted to move my power to the house under ground and the utility company says that's fine but after he gave me a price with them digging the ditch verses me digging the the ditch I decided to dig it myself. Plus when I mentioned where the water line was and he told me I would have to remove a section of sidewalk he was really leaning towards me digging the ditch. So he lowered the price and supplied all the conduit and fittings and I became a ditch digger, I did hit the water line so I was a plumber for a while and I tunneled under the sidewalk then laid the 3" conduit and covered it all up making a muddy mess. 2
campfire12 Posted November 3, 2021 #2 Posted November 3, 2021 Looks good but my old back would not hold up to that chore! great job.
Motorcycle Mike Posted November 3, 2021 #3 Posted November 3, 2021 I can dig a ditch all day as long as I have a back hoe. Somebody else will have to do she work in the hole though. Looking good Ron.
ragtop69gs Posted November 4, 2021 #5 Posted November 4, 2021 That would kill me here with this HARD red clay, you darn near need a jackhammer to get through it!
Woody Posted November 4, 2021 Author #6 Posted November 4, 2021 Mike nailed it, I have a backhoe but it was still back breaking and a lot of work I had rather been riding the bike but digging the ditch and laying the conduit saved me some money. I had some cyst remove and as soon as the stiches come out I'll finish the wiring in the new box.
