    Playing a little bit of catch up on the pictures this morning. This is a picture of the cast iron water pipe (malleable cast?) Another lesson learned about metal on this project. They add steel to the cast before forming it to make it stronger. It does not break like cast, but you can cut it with a torch.

    Loading the pipe was a challenge at close to 4,000 pds. the skid steer could not lift it. With a bad injector pump on the loader it could not move once I lifted it. Solution, using the skid steer I was able to get them off the hillside. Using the loader I was able to lift them and then drive the trailer under it. It took several tries backing the trailer to get them loaded the way I wanted.
