Digging ditches

Posted by jsoucy17 at 01:34 PM on June 26, 2009

Hello All,

It's been a really long week. I have been really busy here. We were doing this project where we had to dig a hole for some water tanks, when the equipment operator noticed that there was a cable in his bucket. He almost pulled the wire right out of the ground. So now the cable needs to be relocated. Thursday we spent the whole day trying to dig the cable up to make sure that it wasn't nicked. We now have to relocate it. The ditch ended up being 25 feet long 4ft deep and a foot and a half wide. The soil around here is hard as hell and the top layer is like concrete.

I have been so tired lately because of math class, but it paid off I got 909 points out of 1000 on the mid-term. I can't wait for this class to be over. For that matter I cant wait for this trip to be over. I really miss you all so much.

Talk to you soon.
J
