That picture of the clouds looks like an oil painting or something.
Sorry to hear about your dog. I've got a cocker spaniel who is my best sales rep and a grumpy old fart of a boxer who has arthritis.

Sammy as a pup, almost a perfect photo.

how does the moling work ?
dig a hole at each end set the mole off. when it reaches the other side how do you put the duct in? just push it up the hole or is there more to it

cheers

The mole works with the head going forward about 10mm then it pulls the body along on next stroke,so on and so on till you get to other side moving approx 12-15m a hour give or take ground conditions,once it gets to the other side lift mole out that on weighs approx 75kg 6ft long 110mm dia. push duct in.On smaller dia.pipe i tow it in behind mole.I have 45,55,75,110mm dia moles,

the nxt pix show a 65mm dia.water main being towed in behind the 75mm mole, i was going through the sea bank at wells-next-the-sea norfolk,at foot path leval on the other side coming out half down bank on inland side
