Yeah man, we made it happen.  Surprisingly, no blowouts or flats but I'm sure there was a healthy heap of luck to thank for it.  

Also doesn't hurt that moving the euipement was completely on the side of 'Needing' access to a crucial resource, making any novelty project pale in comparison.

Go with the flow that only you know, and consider the rest as sketchy at best. Far be it from me to try and turn moss into a tree - for moss has a beauty same as carpet has a duty. Call me Apple, I require a minimum number of chill hours to be fruitful and crush.

Back at it and the thaw is changing the equation along with design inversion. The show must go on and the water supply with it.

Brk 305

It was all about running the excavator today and with a rapidly narrowing window to make this project a success, it needed maximum 'try hardness'.  Driver cap engaged, earbuds in and throttle up.

I've spent a good amount of time on our trackhoe since iv been here but this solid rock is a new challenge.

The excavator met its match and without a hammer attachment to deal with the bed rock we needed to cut losses and alter course. If you can dig down, build up.

Before explosives; people used to fracture rocks by building a fire against them, heating them up, and then cooling them with water.

Fire-setting article at Wikipedia

Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.

I reckon you've got a good idea about it and yeah that's the location.  Let's say we're trying to tap into more habitat for you...

That sounds like a better community cookout event than an industrial approach these days but why not do both!  I'm a fan of making work fun and making fun work.

I didn't say it. I'm just telling you what this tiny ad said.
Switching from electric heat to a rocket mass heater reduces your carbon footprint as much as parking 7 cars
