More projects were happening today at the Me-Mo (short for Meacham-Morrow) farm. I (Cris) didn't get much sleep today as I had to help... ok supervise... ok ok watch the workers.
The Page County rural water crew was on hand to place a relief valve (like a fire hydrant) in our yard today because the neighbor mowed the over the line across the road. Hey at least Karen doesn't have to take the blame for that lawn mower mistake.

Digging the hole for the workers.
(ok, it's really to move the cherry tree which was in the way) |
 |
| Sure is a lot of work to move this much dirt. |

The hole that I dug to fix the water pipe.
They finally found the pipe buried 10 feet under ground! |

We did more storm damage repair yesterday and today. During the "Big Storm" a hugh tree limb flew out of the tree and landed on the electrical pole for the well. It broke the pole and damaged the wiring for the outlet and well pump. The electrician, with my help of course, worked for 2 days to fix the electrical problems. He put in a new pole, breaker box, outlet, and wiring. The rural water crew was even nice enough to dig our trench for the wiring. Finally we have safe power (the old wiring was done incorrectly and the ground wire was HOT!) and a working well pump and outlet. Our electrician was excellent!
