Water

Taking a break from the cabin, we decided to tackle the water.  The well was installed some time ago, but we needed to dig trenches to put the water lines to the cabin and near the storage container.  The area next to the storage container will be covered for shelter for the cows and donkeys.  We intend to add a water trough there as well.
We rented a Skid Steer to dig the trenches.

This is the shanty that houses the well.  Once we're all done, this will look MUCH nicer.

We opened the well house and discovered....

Rusted pipes!

More than one!

The well people came out this week to repair the pipes so we can finish hooking up the water lines.  Once that's all set, we'll test out the lines before burying them deep into the trenches.   Little Frog Ranch is always an adventure!!
