UTILITY TRENCHING

With the first stage of the concrete prep complete we are on to the trenching for the utilities.  Trenches needed to be excavated for the potable water, rain water, grey water, sewer and electricity.  After much flipping back and forth of the different pages in the master plans we figured out where all the trenches needed to be dug.  Some were inside the foundations and some were outside connecting the buildings.

north side of the house.

In addition to the trenching in and around the buildings we also needed to excavate a trench for the main water line from the tank on the hill down to the house.  Surprise, surprise we ran into more rock and the big hammer was called back into action.  

Rock is no match for the Hammer!

With all the excavating going on we figured we should call in an expert .... believe it or not Marty Raney was available!

No they didn't let "Marty" actually take the controls.
