Yesterday we did something different.
Water pipes that run underground to various places on the farm will sometimes spring a leak. We got a new puppy, and he has been exploring everything. So last week he came out of a shed completely black from mud. We found there was a water pipe leaking under this shed. We call it a brooder house. That might be a Czech word, or just an area thing, but it's for raising baby chicks.
Luckily, we didn't get chicks this year, so the shed was empty. This building was set in place maybe 60 years ago, and there is no foundation under it, so most of the floor structure is rotten. But, after some work, we were able to prop it up on some new 4x4's, lift it up and move it to get to the leak.
Here's where the puppy found a cool spot to lay.
I've never seen the water create such a clear leak. You can easily see a hole in the ground here and water is bubbling up through it.
So after we can fix the pipe, we will have to figure out what to do with the shed. It needs a whole new floor, and it's not going to be easy to replace it without just knocking the shed down.
