We started the ditches by raking the rock on top of the surface to the side of the trench, giving us room to work and keeping the top rock as clean as possible. We then laid down a tarp where we could put the dirt out of the trench to keep it separate from the top rock.
The trench runs from the side of the main house where the stove is, from the bathhouse where the on demand hot water heater is, to the propane tank (hidden in the trees where we cannot see it from the circle drive).
When we first built these buildings, we were told to place conduit from the outside to the inside. We have learned that is NOT code. At each building there needs to be a regulator that delivers the gas straight into the building. This prevents pockets of gas being vulnerable to exploding.
We paid a qualified gas installer to do the work. He did tell us that the hot water heater values were installed upside down by someone local that we hired, not a good thing.
The piping is finished with the regulators in place according to code. Just a bit more smoothing out of rock to finish things up!!!
There is not gas for cooking and hot water!!!!
