I feel you your pain on a lot smaller scale. I having my power upgraded to 200amp under ground service Thursday and I live in a high clay area. thanks to all the rain I have standing water in the yard and water seeping into basement. I cant wait to see the mess that the trencher leaves. good luck with you poor.

I understand. Spent Friday and Saturday digging in my septic system between the monsoons. My dad and I did get it all in and about half of it back filled before it got too wet. It took me almost an hour straight of power washing to get the rental backhoe clean enough to turn back.

On the good side it did fill the pond nearly 3 feet!

Forecast is talking about 3 more days of rain at end of week.

Reminds me of the saying: If you want it to rain dig a hole. (or trench).

Its always a challenge planning and scheduling work outside and dealing with the weather. Its frustrating but the rain will stop and your project will continue.
