Also ran a short line over to it from the junction box on the house so we wouldnt have to use an extension cord to run the pump.
Glad to see that you made good use of your free time.

I tried to Rick. Managed to get some weed barrier down this evening but the wind was blowing pretty good here today because of the front that came through yesterday. And I have to run some new wiring to my shed soon.When I was tying into the junction box I pulled the wiring out and the neutral and black wires broke that run to my shed. hooked the gfci outlet up so I could at least run the freezer while I figured out what to do to fix the broken wires. Was able to pull enough extra from the shed to effect a temporary repair until I can new wiring in the existing conduit.

Now you need another week. Two weeks is just too short.

Pretty much. I need a vacation to rest from my vacation Rick. All of the yard work has worn me out.

Are you going to be able to handle it in 20 years?

Sure I will Rick. Besides it was the heavy lifting today that wore me out. Hydrants are not exactly light.

Least the wind won't blow it over and the neighbor kids won't steal it.

Most dont even know it is even in the yard Rick. Besides if they wanted to take it they would wake me up since it is right outside one of my bedroom windows. And it is also awkward.

I delivered many of them when I drove a truck in the city. We moved then with a lift truck.

You can't afford to buy another one.
