Reclaiming the Cottage
Lou and his family have been working hard to reclaim the cottage from the brambles and neglect. Bill T. left it in pretty rough shape, and they cleaned out to make it ready for Grandma and Grandpa to live there. First, though, it needed a water supply; I told Lou I would come down and use the backhoe to make a trench so that the PVC supply line would be well below the frost line. I took the picture above towards the end of the process of digging the trench; I was surprised at how quickly the job went once I got started. It took only about an hour to dig 60 feet of trench.
