Utility Trench

137' down, 3' to go

Mom put the pull rope in

All that work to fill it back in...

Today we finished digging the utility trench. When we met from both ends of the driveway, I think we got a taste of what it was like to drive the Golden Spike in Utah. We put conduit in the ground for power and cable. Mom wouldn't let me help with the pull rope even though her arms were tired because she wanted to do it all by herself :) It seemed so counterproductive to dig all that dirt out just to put it all back. I'm ready to see some visible progress! Hopefully the power company will make it out this week and we'll be able to turn a light on.
