Digging Holes


Thought I might have a day off weeding and do something FUN! Fun, that is, that involves a mattock and a shovel. It's got to rain soon and the little rain water tank down at 'La studio' will overflow. Last year, the overflow washed under the building - most unsatisfactory. 

So I purchased 9 meters of down pipe and started digging a trench. Fortunately I didn't have to dig too deep as there will be decking and gravel added to the area soonish to give more protection to the underground pipes. The main thing with the trench is to make sure it goes down hill so that the water will run out nicely.
