Re: New shop for the Blazer, truck, boat, camp, etc...

They got the grading and forming done for the slab last week while I was off in Texas working. I tried to stub up my plumbing this weekend to no avail. Even jumping on the shovel it only penetrated the dirt about 1/4" to 1/2" at a time. The dirt is packed so well that even the bobcat that they used when grading/forming had serious issues trying to dig it up. That is really good due to the fact that I know without a doubt that the shop is on a solid foundation, it just sucks that I have to dig it. Apparently, I need to rent a trencher, but it was too late to get one for this weekend once that was discovered. It is supposed to rain quite a bit this week, clearing up on Thursday. Hopefully I can get a trencher rented and dig/stub up the plumbing on Thursday. That will also be the only day that I have to change the oil and wash the Blazer before we leave out on Friday @ noon for the start of our Cruisin' the Coast festivities.
