Telephone conduit ditch 2018-05-24

Note to self: when using dirt bucket to remove fire ants, remember where telephone cable is buried, or….

Ditch dug, Cable
Ditch dug, Cable

Conduit in ditch, Cable
Conduit in ditch, Cable

Dirt over top, Cable
Dirt over top, Cable

Fortunately, Gretchen had cable-repair tools.

The dogs did not approve of these shenanigans.

The fire ants are not gone.
