So, here are some pics of todays work, 10 Dec, about 21 degrees cool and blue skies. The ditches started at the front terrace, went left , took another left, then a right and slowly turned left heading to the edge of the property. About 65 meters altogether, will be mainly used for drainage, the first half will also include city water and new electricity for the tool shed and water/solar pump. Finally everything will have its own fuse, also getting circuit breakers put in at 3 points.

And heading towards the end of the property.
And many thanks to our neighbor who owns this dozer and got everything done in about 3.5 hours, over 65 meters of ditch. Boy, am I glad this is over with, now I have to put in the gravel, drainage pipe, water pipe and electricity line, another 3-4 days of work for me. But at least I did not have to dig any more ditches!
