Yesterday the drainage system was installed. This did not went entirely according to plan and they were working untill late to get it finished. It all started with a lack of water to be able to make the holes in te ground where the drainage tubes would be insterted into. Yes it sounds rather odd, to be able to pump out the ground water they use water to make the holes. To proceed they had to reverse there somewhat optimistically parked truck and fetch more gear. Because of the pouring rain and all the digging of the day before this proved rather difficult, when reversing the trailer went in the direction of the excavation. Eventually a crane had to be summoned to get the truck out of its precarious position.

In the evening they returned, this time with some heavy metal; a tracked vehicle. The required water was pumped out of a nearby ditch and then thing went smoothly. Before they were finished and started pumping out the water in stead of in in (it started to look like a pool / pond) I left for home.
