The last time I was anywhere near a big drill - other than at the dentist - was in 1975 in Burma where my employer, the French oil company TOTAL - Compagnie Française des Pétroles (CFP), was drilling for oil in the Arakan Sea.
The drillers are back, this time to bore a hole to connect "Riverbend" to the town's new sewerage system. They kicked off at the front gate ...
... and then gave it a second shot from the front lawn to the house.
I can't wait to give it a shot myself and test out the new pipes but ...
I won't uncross my legs until they have uncrossed those two pipes! 😄
