K’Tanawat has been using the excavator for a number of days now to dig a very long trench from the main electrical box all the way to BaanRimNaam. We learned a lot about making the soil softer to make the digging go faster along the way. There were also a few distractions, so we paused the digging for a day or two in the middle.

But as of yesterday morning, the trench was basically completed:

Originally, I was just planning on dropping in the large gauge (16mm^2 NYY) wire into the trench and then filling it back up. But I’ve complicated things by deciding to run the power for the walkway lights at the same time.

This involves deciding exactly where to place these lights. Which depends on what kind of lights we are going to use. Which means we have to make some decisions pretty soon, and I haven’t been preparing for this. Arghh!

I hate it when I get caught unaware by something I should have been thinking about and exploring for the past month or two but didn’t.

Oh well. I guess I can’t think of everything. 🙁
