It's that time of year again

The rain has stopped, the warmer weather is creeping in and it's that time of year again....when Uncle David and Greg start working on the house again.  Today the chosen project was laying the drain pipe for the other side of the house (the non-RV parking side).  This morning, they got up, headed out to Home Depot with Freddie and attempted to rent something called a "Ditch Witch" - otherwise known as a trench digger.  Well, turns out that if you call and ask the Home Depot rental geniuses if they have a tool or not, they don't bother to check and see if it's working.  They drove out there, only to find out that the ones they had weren't working...neither were the ones a few miles away...
So, they came back slightly ticked off and set out digging their trench by hand....over 100 feet later and they are only about 6 feet from the fence line now - rather impressive!!

Here are some pictures of our beautifully green and luscious front lawn torn apart - literally - there are long chunks of grass and dirt sitting alongside the trench so they can be planted back when they're done laying the pipe.  Apparently, one up side to doing it all by hand was that they didn't break any sprinkler pipes...and they came across like 5 or 6 of them while digging that would have been torn up by the automatic digger.

So, here's our front lawn -

At least I have plenty of men around to do all the manual labor...right???
