[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1184302, member: 1682"] I hate working in muddy slop-holes for corrals and those made out of wood. Never know if the board is going to break when I try to heave myself over. So, been waiting about 10 years to do this, have had lots of time to think about it. Digging the trenches for the tile. Went about 4' down. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v719/15444/Corral%20Rebuild%202014/P1010909_zps522f2901.jpg[/img] Four side-lines feed into main tile. Three to be under the corral and one behind machine shed - always has been a wet hole. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v719/15444/Corral%20Rebuild%202014/P1010910_zps37dcb955.jpg[/img] Each of these side trenches is about 80' long, spaced 50' from the next. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v719/15444/Corral%20Rebuild%202014/P1010912_zpsa7e4b59d.jpg[/img] I had to try and catch up on rolling out and placing tile, so I had some demolition work done. Old building from the 40's. Dragged from almost a mile away to be placed beside barn as a calf shed in the 60's. Tractor got stuck in a wet hole and it never went any further. Just an eyesore, so time to go.
