  • Even more fun was finding that I was also cutting into a mystery metal pipe buried under the drainage pipe.

    No idea what is in it - luckily I only scored it before I saw it.

  • Similar joy when digging out our slope for the shed base. I found out we have power and tv/ internet for us and our two neighbours all in their own 80-100mm pipes about 30cm below the surface right along the back of our house. There was also an empty 160mm waste pipe going to the middle of our garden in case a second property was built there. It was fun to try and avoid with the digger. Only cracked one, and it was the useless one.
