Day 68: Digging
Light early rain slows Harry down (he sits quietly in his car smoking...) but when I get back he and Les (Les is a sort of general help-man; he drives around delivering stuff, and does (I think) some less skilled digging under Harry's supervision. Only H gets to drive the digger) have back-filled the existing stuff to 1m depth and pretty nearly finished the rest. The (lead) pipe for out water supply (and Dots) is being carefully dug around.
Also... a nice touch, Harry has managed to rip the two remaining Leylandii out for me: a few seconds pull for the digger saves me a lot of muscle power.

Aren't you worried about lead water pipes? Are they legal where you live? What's the point in saving the Earth if you give your kids lead poisoning?
I leave stuff like that to the building folk. As far as I can gather, they are OK, so long as you don't disturb them... err.
In fact there was some talk of the builders wanting to move them, but that was only because they were in the way of the foundations, not due to any worries about the lead.
