DH and I have been spending lots of time bouncing over ranch roads
Thankfully, a few of them have been muddy
Project #1
We plumbed in another new water trough
Making use of the skid steer saves some shoveling
But plenty of shoveling still takes place
Securing the joints properly ensures he won't have to ever fix a leak here
DH is particular about making sure everything is exactly right
It saves problems down the line
The float box protects the float so cattle can't get to it
Packing in dirt so the valve boxes he cut are level (we can turn the valves inside the boxes and send water to various storage tanks and water troughs around the ranch)
Success!

I so enjoy following your blog as we are ranchers up here in Montana and I love to sew. That is so interesting on the find of a Metate.
I don’t know how your hubby knows how to do all these things around the ranch! I guess one has to figure it out since you can’t call a plumber! I had to look up what a metate is. What a treasure indeed!
Oh that Metate is so cool! I wonder how old it is.
I had to look up what metate means. Will you use it or is it for decorative purposes? It looks like ranching is very hard work. How large is your ranch?
Like others, I had to look up metate because I was clueless. Based on what wikipedia had to say, I have a couple of questions. Is your metate old (or ancient?) and did your husband find it on your ranch or did he purchase it? It doesn't matter where he got it, it is a treasure!
Yay for water!!! Sounds like you all had a very successful day!!
