It never ceases to amaze me what men and their trucks and tractors can do, they rearrange the universe. I gulped a bit when I saw this ditch. Vince Veccio and his crew jackhammered a hold in the basement and dug out a four foot ditch to the barn, where the frost free water line is going. It has started to rain, so a two-day project has become a one day project. Red was stumped trying to figure out how to get across the ditch. We found an older foundation around the house, there was another building there at one point. Jay Bridge has arrived and we are putting in the plastic pipe with sleeves and running it out to the barn.
