Our very local plumbers...

One of the projects the guys have been working on the last few days (besides one more grain cleaning job and keeping calves alive and running to town for parts and fixing 4-wheelers and talking to the banker about a future project and...) is getting the sewer pipes put down for the new house. 

 They first had to dig the trenches...

 Working on getting that wood post out of there...
 Glad that Dad knows how to do so many things!
Putting the extremely toxic-smelling purple primer on...
 Then goes the stinky glue... You have only a matter of maybe 5 seconds to get it angled just the way you want it before the glue bonds and you will NOT be moving the pipe any further.
 Phone call...
 The holes left after the removal of the wood post and other pipes. 
Remind you of a certain cartoon character?
 ...
I was helping with a few odd jobs over there last night and they got it to this point. Today they worked on getting it sloped just how they need it to be and packing dirt under and around it.
 Andrew spent some of his hard-earned money on a fancy machine today...
 (It's a conveyor for grain.)
It was really funny to watch him "drive" it to it's parking place!!

Oh, and here are 5 of the 7 pies I baked yesterday. I put them in the freezer so they last until Sunday (my dad's birthday party).
Tomorrow, we're getting a bunch of noisy things in the mail. Can you guess what they are???
