They found the leak

Water lines here are 6 to 8 feet deep. Yet the main feed from my pumphouse, under driveway is maybe 2 feet. Flat on bedrock. Insulation on top.
Getting calls and no messages. I hate that. Leave a dam message.
Looks like we have 4-6' of topsoil and then clay. Tough digging by hand when it's wet.

We back filled the conduit trenches with red dyed 5 sack concrete at VAFB 
. Sometimes there was 30-40 4" conduits in the trench, sometimes 1 2" That was what the specs called for

NWS has really backed off on their predicted highs for this coming week. Yesterday they were 75-85, today they're 70-75. Not complaining 
2 leaks, replace the curb stop (shut off) and repair the sewer line that got bumped with the back hoe. Hard to tell whether you are digging a rock or clay tile. Oops. Get her fixed fellas.
58 minutes later..filler piece is done and ready to weld in. I have determined its not structural at all. Just didnt want it to crack and squeak.
And back in its place.
Let me know before you fill that in... I have a couple of bodies to throw in there....
Just got my Calendars

That brings up a big question. Being that the railroad people normally chose the easiest/cheapest route for track laying.
were their other choices? 
Got mine @halifaxhops best one yet!
This definitely looks better. Not done yet but still miles better
Looks nite and day better
Second brace back in, and floor cleaned. Put seats back in and im liking the ability to shoulder check through the little window. Will make backing up way easier.
I think I may have found a fraction of the cause of my Mount Everest welds. The regulator wouldn’t adjust up or down, went and got a new regulator and that helped ten fold. I think tinkering with it should help. I also looked online and found that while the chart on the machine itself specifically states voltage at A, wire speed 2 for 18 gauge, Lincoln’s online guide says B and 4 for it. That really helped. Welds aren’t as tall, Still a bit higher than I’d like but much better too.
Regulator at 25 cfh is typical.
So you set voltage higher and it improved,now back off wire feed a little at a time, both hands to keep stinger steady and dont let wire stick out too much.
big problem with mine is it is unstable when i first start weld. It ramps up a little so i need to start on the last weld i tacked.
i need good lighting as well, makes a big difference.
Lighting sucks inside the car. So I’m gonna try and figure something out there.
I hope so. At least I was smart enough to start on the floors where it’ll be covered by sound deadner and Carpet
so heres the question. Do i blend this tunnel into the factory tunnel at the rear foot wells or do i carry it all the way back and get rid of the factory tunnel entirely?
