The seat will still get a layer of extruded polystyrene foam before its done. Its the only thing that keeps you from freezing to the seat when it gets really cold. We even purchased some metal roofing for this thing, it should be nice and sturdy.

Hole augered and hand dug for our meter power pole. 150' in on our lot, then we have to deal with the additional 160 feet to our buildings.
5 feet is alot to dig down in a small hole like this.

Lots of sheep trails all over. They rub the black lichen off the rocks with their hooves as they walk the same path over and over.

Photos just dont do justice for this area. Since there isnt much to use as a reference its hard to tell just how BIG this area is. It would take about 1.5 hours to cross this valley on the best of days.
