Laying pipe for water/telecom to the pad

Friday we laid 450 feet of pipeline. Trenching to 30", bottom layer of sand, glueing pipe, adding Cat 5e, top layer of sand, and backfilling. The temperature was 98 degrees!
















Trenching with a DitchWitch.
Speed was about one foot per minute.

Then, covered with another layer of sand















Then, backfilled.















Almost finished!
