The pace is really picking up. Jim has moved his well drilling rig down to the High Valley Road house, and is preparing to drill a new well there. The old well is so poor that the pump guy can't even get a flow reading from it. Hopefully Jim will have the same success he enjoyed on the ranch property. In the meantime, My friend Denny Weaver is finishing up a 4' deep, 850' long trench for the power and water lines to the house. I started digging with the backhoe attachment for my Kioti tractor, but hit decomposed granite, and had to go with the heavier, full sized backhoe. Denny will also dig a trench from the well to the existing trench and connect at the base of the hill, a distance of another 300' or so.
Idaho Power is scheduled to bring in the power from the adjoining parcel tomorrow, planting five power poles and setting two transformers. By Friday we should have power to the building site.
