I have put in 3600 ft of 6 inch pipe in the past 2 days...the only contractors I know of could not do the work for 60-90 days and I gotta have water in the ponds by Oct for stocking so I had to hire some hands and guilt trip a few friends to pull a team together...but we almost have it beaten.
Hopefully will have water flowing to the new ponds by mid week. I am too spent to write anymore today....I have not worked this hard in a long time (at least not manual labor - there is nothing glamorous about hauling 20ft sections of 6inch pipe into the woods and sticking em together in a trench...Those pipes are heavy and cumbersome...and putting them together and locking the seal is a pain in the neck.
I have some new pics (of dry holes) and will try to post them soon.
