I'll never get rich

digging a ditch, will I?

This one:

Photobucket

It will (perhaps even tomorrow) contain a 100mm drainpipe, with a drain at the near end, so that rainwater from the just visible zinc downpipe can go a bit further away from the house next time it rains.

This took me all day. It was stony ground - indeed the biblical stuff, "where it had not much earth", and digging it out was quite a chore. I couldn't be too free with the pickaxe, as somewhere down in the earth there is an electrical cable and a water main for the swimming pool.

There's also quite ridge of bedrock, and tomorrow I will be getting out the big angle grinder and sledgehammer. But this was quite enough for today.
