    Great pics Redfin .. What is your temperature there? As digging here would be a challenge not to mention backfill.

    We have been in the single digits all week. I had a heck of a time starting my machine yesterday so I started throughout the night.

    yeah I plugged in Kubota block heater this morning as it started to snow. I don' know how deep ground is frozen but have had below 0 Temps most month of December and it's a balmy negative 10 right now.

    My phone has been freaking out with the battery lately. This is the only pic I got. I did get about half of the first run dug in today. IMG_3523.JPG

    I am so glad that its not me out there at this time of year doing this! Also glad that I live way to far away to even offer to help out with the job!

    Good luck!

    My teenage Boy makes up good excuses also.:) I work outside all day in this weather. Id much rather have the cold than 100* and high humidity.
