I did some work on an older property in Prescott, where one of the buildings needed new gas piping and a new gas meter installed. To help lessen the cost a plumber would charge the homeowner, I did all of the trench work, preparing the area for the new pipes. Following the plumber's instructions, I dug a fairly deep trench on two sides of the building using shovels and a pickaxe because the sandy ground was mixed with hard clay.
As you can see, I had help. Nikita is the old Alaskan Husky coming around the corner of the building and Dixie Dog is in the front.
During this project, I also had to pull back a thick layer of black plastic the previous owner had placed under the surface of the ground many years ago, in an effort to keep dirt from washing down the hill during heavy rains. This homeowner's property is located on the side of a large hill out in the country outside of Prescott, Arizona.
Nikita and Dixie Dog were always there to help, in rain or shine, in hot humid weather or in the frigid cold ... they were wonderful friends.
