POURING FOOTERS
It's only 90 out. There's nothing better than a concrete pump truck.

4 loops 750' each. 3/4" DURA PEX, filled with alcohol mixture. Purchased from ARIT.com.
DOH! I kinked one ot the PEX loops beyond salvaging. It comes in a large roll and if you don't take it off
as it was put on you've got one hell of a spring to unwind. Later I made a "wheel" that helped unroll it.
Jennifer running the mid-sized excavator. I
wouldn't get a mini, because it's likely be
too slow. We had to dig literally a half mile
of trench. We covered about 2/3 of one loop
in a 8 hour day, around 450'. $680/wk.
