Trenches, trenches and more trenches.

As you can see we have a couple more trenches.

This is for the plumbing...grey and black water lines.  Grey water is water from showers, sinks and washing machine.  Black water is from toilets usually combined with one sink line to help everything go into the septic tank.

While we wait for the plumber to return we (Bob and I got busy with the last of the water line from temp quarters to new house and electric from meter to down to where new house will be built.  

The black and white wires are the power.  The smaller green wire is the ground wire.  

All three wires are taped together along with the end of the muletape that was already pulled through and I'll stay up here and make sure that when Bob starts pulling at the other end the spools don't over roll.  It went really smoothly.  But we are not done yet, we need to pull from this end over to where the wire will hook into the existing power.  We wont do the actual hooking up...that's for the electrician but we need to get it over there.

So if you look closely and enlarge the picture just a bit you can see just to the right of the Bobcat where this wire needs to go.  And if you look down at the bottom of this picture you can see the pipe on the right...that's what this wire needs to go in in order to reach that spot on the other side.  

So this little black piece of foam is called a " mouse".  Tied onto it is a piece of string.  We will use a vacuum cleaner on blow to blow the mouse with the string through to the power grid.  Then onto to string we will tie the muletape and taped on the muletape will be the wires....got that!  

TaDa!  Just like that...took about 10 seconds.  

And there's the wire.  

And this is muletape.  It's a flat nylon rope.  Bob used it in the phone company and we bought a couple spools of it when we found it on line.  The stuff is great.  We always have some in every vehicle that we own as well as the Kawasaki Mule and of course it's in the shop and well house.  You never know when you are gonna need it and it lasts forever...well maybe not forever but certainly a long time.
