The quest for water.

My current living conditions in San Antonio are pretty great.  The only issue is the lack of drinking water.  We are hooked up to a well, and our sponsor has advised us against drinking the water because they haven't had it tested.To fix this problem, our first team project was to get us some water.

Trenches had been dug and pipe laid next to it, but we were there to finish up the piping.  We spent two long days doing manual labor to get the trenches evened out or dug out where the tractor had missed, get the pipe laid, and then cover it back up.

Here are some photos my teammate Ben took of us at work.  I feel the need to show you proof that I did some hard work!



This was our course of action to get water before.  The spigot at the tool shed about a mile up the road.
We're still working on getting the pipe flushed out and approved, but I'm just glad that work is finished.  We should have drinkable water by Monday.  I'm awfully excited.
