ditchin'

THE DITCH
well, this is what I have been up to lately...digging a ditch! This has to run down past the gate and about 2 feet around the corner into my drainage and back towards the house to the exit bib on the water system. We had to buy a softener a salt tank and a neutralizer system for our well. it was $2600 installed...only so far I have doen al the labor except for putting the tanks in. I had to dig out this rediculous hole under the house for the system to platform on and now this. The guy never told me about this. The 2 new tanks have to back wash 60 gallons each every 3 days...well, those gollons of water are so high in salt that the discharge will kill trees! plus, its washing all my gravel away. so, i dig the ditch. its below the frost line so it wont freeze..while I am at it I am going to drop in electrical for a light on the gate that i can turn on and off from the house. it has been a pain in my butt. Hopefully its worth it!
