The Lister air compressor needed a place to call home.  A corner in the shed was the best place.  After cleaning the junk out I wanted to put in some unused paving bricks.  It is all clay there and I dug as much out with the backhoe to backfill with gravel.  The water hydrant is right there too.  It has been broken for years so I dug down the 4 ft to get it out.  Never a fun or pleasant task.  About $80 gets a mid grade fixture at the real plumbing store.  So after digging, sweating, shoveling, I had to take some breaks just to rest and pour down some water, more breaks and ice tea.  It has been hot and muggy

Finally got the bricks down and the compressor in place.  Had to fix a flat tire on the forklift  Always something.
