Lucky we're not the type of people to worry about having a perfect lawn, I think.
Here's the piping that goes into the hole:

And here's the end piece, which the piping is attached to (not in this picture, but it was later) and which is weighed down with a long metal rod to ensure that it reaches the bottom of the hole:

The pipes are filled with water for the moment, which will be replaced with a glycol/water mix later. They've nearly finished for today, which is just as well because the satellite picture is showing a beefy line of thunderstorms heading our way (we're on the sticky-out bit of land between Peterborough and Kingston).

The sky is already looking a bit peculiar - rather the texture of a brain, I thought.

Ah, here it comes. Over and out.

Lightning...always frightening...but still exciting (from a distance).
