day forty seven.

today was pretty gross and drizzly out, but at least it was warm. i helped anna, cody & adrian get started on digging the ditch for the power line. it is on the far side of the building, and the trench needed to be 40" deep. it was pretty tricky because there was a ditch about 3 feet wide and a foot or so deep that the trencher needed to get over. so we took 8 or 9 pieces of 2x10s to create some decking for the trencher. and then we moved them around as appropriate so that the trencher could get to the back and start digging. the trencher was really intense, and cody & adrian both said that it was really weird and awkward to drive, so i was quite content just helping move wood, shovel, and fetch things as needed. but it was fun to watch.
