Just a Little Digging

Running power to the Heat Pump. This means the office is getting close to being usable space. Ha ha ha.We only need to finish the ceiling, drywall, tape and mud, texture, paint, base and case and flooring. Then move everything in.

My job is to dig the trench for the power to run through. This is some of our best grass even though we have never watered it. Bill uses his chemicals on it and mows but that is the only attention it gets. Once we have a sprinkler system this will be all flowering shrubs and ground cover. Since we have never watered; the ground is harder than all get out.


These are all the tools I had to use. Sledge hammer, sharp shooter, railroad spike, round shovel, hand shovel and a broom. There were concrete pieces throughout this area. No idea why there were there but there was.
 Finally, it's done. Whew, I got it finished before Bill got home. He has been at one of our office suites the last two days laying a new hardwood floor.I  didn't have to help  him because the tenant and his friend helped. Love those kind of tenants. It's not as deep as Bill wanted but I took it down to sandstone. There is one spot he is going  to need  to break out the concrete because I can't.



 This spike was used to get the biggest concrete pieces out. It's all about leverage.


 The other project I needed to do was level the heat pump pad.That was an easy one.
