Putting in a water line Cont...

This project has turned out to be very labor intensive to say the least!!! We are slowly cleaning out the trenches so they are level on the bottom and at least 2 feet deep. The work is difficult because we have to reach down 2 feet and lift out dirt. Richard has been standing up , trying to use his legs as to not stress his back. I tried this at first but have resorted to sitting down on the side of the ditch , using my legs as leverage and arms as the strength. This has worked for me as it hasn't stressed my back.
We are slowly inching along. We decided to do a section at a time, completing the gluing and covering up the pipes as we go. The picture above is were we have cleaned the ditch and will put the pipes on the cross boards to glue.
We are also are completing electrical and drainage pipes as well. This is by the studio slab, where we have the washing machine at this time.
Here is the maze of pipes by the well house.
