JC and I tried to use a rental trencher from HD with not so much luck, took it back and got my money back, soil was too rocky....had to resort to using the TLB from JD [I wanted a skid steer adapter trencher tool, but no rentals nearby available]...we trenched in order to relocate the hot tub away from the house, cleaned out the barn so I will have an office on site, etc. Got to use the welder, backhoe, loader, auger, front bucket/loader, leaf blower, drill, etc. JC looks like he's going to be good part time labor for the project. He's the son of our housekeeper and is in college for Arch. Design/Engineering. This project will be a great experience for him. PJ is due today to finish the gate job he did at the entry and some barn elec. box work, then we can get rid of the overhead lines and destroy the house....etc. He brought enough rough sawn 1x8 material to scab on the existing fence at the entry, this will keep the gawkers from thinking of coming down the drive to prowl for stuff to steal. Next free weekend will involve fixing the fence and getting the barn emptied, cleaned, ready for an office, etc. The shipping container is massive and will take a long time to fill, etc.
