evening and Booze O'clock . . .

We're done here in the apartment . . .  No we didn't finish but, did about 80% of the work . . . Whatever is not boxed and/or labeled is up for grabs between family . . . Flea market raised $100 so ASPCA is getting a $100 on my grandmother's behalf . . .

My knee, well, hurts a bit, but, it took me thru the week . . . Now, hopefully in 2 months time(tops), apartment will be for rent . . .

I am outta here feeling sad and satisfied at the same time

Godspeed . . .

Sooooo...

I'm rather pissed off.

I spent all day spreading and leveling a 1 ton load of sand...

assembling a pool...

and putting a faucet attacment on the piece of poly pipe that comes out of the mechanical room for the back of the house.

The make the beast with two backsing water is barely make the beast with two backsing trickling out of a 3/4" id poly pipe.
Why so little water delivery/pressure??

Is it the tap fitting?  What if you replaced the tap with a 3/4" gate valve?

I think the pipe got crushed when we back filled.

Not under the slab...

still not easy to get to...

and right now with the pool where it is I can't get a machine in there to dig...

and I don't want to do it by hand.

The soil here is very rocky...you can't put a shovel in the ground.

Digging is a two tool process...iron bar and a shovel.

Bugger.

Ground here is all chocolate red-brown soil.  Digging goes pretty well until you hit the clay layer about a metre down.

And then it get to be very hard yakka.

Had to google yakka... ;D

This is most likely the route I'll go.

The price may scare me off.

I'll do some research.

I am going to dig the pipe up enough to make sure it didn't kink where it starts to sweep up to the surface. The plan was to install a frost free hydrant anyway.

time to watch gp...be back
