Digging a ditch

Drainage improvement project on the road to the hospital. A new drainage ditch is being hand dug by men using pick axes and shovels. First thing in the morning an outline is created with chalk for the day's digging. Then it's all manual labor. No backhoe here! They dig about 100' per day, nearly two feet wide an two to three feet deep. The sheep in one photo are just a bonus for our blog viewers.
