The long road to running water, part 1:

more country math:

First, dig a trench with the rented 'ditch witch'.
407 feet of trench = 3 days of sore back


trench,




















more trench,

still more trench,

all the way to the yurt, trench.

take a day and get 450 feet of pipe from your neighbor:

one day pipe wrangling = 7 days knee trouble:

Put it all in the ground, cut the pieces to fit the risers and shut-off valves, test your glue before you start, forget to check to see if it holds *with water*... then, when finding out about the right connectors, find out that it's not even the right pipe. Load it back on the truck to take back to the neighbor.
