On Saturday morning Jerry and the boys began
to dig ditches to lay the electric wire to the new
barn. We really needed a Ditch Witch to do it,
because we knew it would be hard digging into
this hard ground with so much rock, but we
decided to do it by hand anyhow to save us
some money.
This is Jerry and Michael digging the first section
of it from the house over to the barnyard.
Then Jerry hooked up an old plow to my
little garden tractor and Dan plowed his
brains out with it trying to get through the
rock in the barnyard with it. I got left the
sissy part of it and got to thread the wire
through the PVC pipe. They must have figured
that I couldn't mess that up to badly. Atleast I
didn't get shunned back into the yard this week
to make more picket gates!
On Sunday, Jerry and I went around to all our
fencing, that was temporary and we tightened it
all up and finally made it permanent. It had been
sagging for the longest time. Then we ran
our hot wire and got it all back working now.
