Trenching for the water line to the barn


Our friend John is very talented with heavy machinery and masterful with a backhoe, here he works with Bob to first dig and here bury back in the water line to the barn.   We went with 1-1/2" poly line, the same as the main line.   We curved the trench around one section of bedrock, only to encounter another!   This one was a little deeper so we went to its surface at 32" below grade and enveloped it in 2"rigid styrofoam (top and bottom), before filling it in.   We marked this spot and will mound over it as well for extra depth.    We then connected at line at the "T" rough in that Mickey's Plumbing left for us.
