Pig Pen Update

We Finished the new pig pen for Pork and Beans and they just love it, room to roam!
We fenced off a section of the front pasture , it's about 30x60 feet, under a large shady tree. I think they like it better than being closed up in the old hen house, it was gettin a little stinky in there...whew!
So now they have some dirt to dig in and they can act like real pigs. So now we just need to finish the water pipe run that goes out to them, The pipe is already in, thanks to my wife. Poor girl, she dug about 50 feet of trench by hand and couldn't move the next day, but she did a real good job on it. So now I just have to hook up the last bit of plumbing and they should be ready for water.

Water Woes

I have had nothing but trouble with the plumbing around this joint this week. First off the hose to the water tank busted on monday, then the faucet coming out of the garage starts leaking. We those two issues were repaired fairly easily, The hose just needed to be cut and a new hose end affixed. The faucet was more involved, a pvc fitting split, no problem right? Wrong!!, I had to re-work a foot long section of the pipe behind the garage wall because there wasn't enough pipe to get one lowly nipple on to it.
Anyway cut to Thursday, I was mowing after work and I look back to the tank and what do I see? The hose has split again! I decided to work on it on Saturday when i had more time. Well as I continue my mowing duties I notice a large puddle in the grass near the back porch, You guessed it a busted underground pipe. I had to take friday off from work to get it fixed!! What a week we had around here. On a bright note we got part of the pig pen started.
