Pipeline – the first pipe 2011.03.26

Sunday, 27 February 2011

Chip off the old block, so when our son, Nick, was visiting us from Cape Town he wanted to see what we were busy with and he duly got roped in. We had decided that the old asbestos pipe was broken and leaking in too many places to be reliable so we had gotten some polyethylene pipe to replace it. Against the advice of some people who of course are nowhere to be seen when the actual digging needs to be done we shove the new pipe through the old pipe so it is well protected against fire without having to do too much digging.

We collected the pipe and managed to do the first length.

The roll of wire has nothing to do with us, it was used to make camps for the cattle when the farm was still operative.
