The last segment of a trench, the utility trench, is finally dug! All the way to the water meter, alongside the Loke, passing the mains electric cable (a rusty iron clad cables) and the point where the telephone will join into our land.
The trench is 400mm wide and on average 1000mm deep and about 30metres long!

Tomorrow, weather permitting, we will fill in the first layer of sand and dirt on top of the water pipe and telephone conduit. And then lay in the electrical conduit and finish filling in using the rest of the dirt.
