Uffe Strandskov are doing the eXca-

deep. So far, the eXcavating con-
tractors have had nothing but hard
luck; large scrap iron pile was 10
Gated directly where the cistern was
to be dug, removing this was not so
bad, but it seems that much of this
junk had sunk a considerable dis
lance into the ground. A snow storm
was the next obstacle that tied up
the project, and this was followed
by quite a hard frost which necessi-
tated the use of a pick continuously.
But all this was overcome only to re-
veal that they were running into gen.
uine hard-pan and had to use dyna-
mite to make any Roadway. And then
to top it off, yesterday it started to
rain, making the soil in the hole so
slippery that work was impossible.
A couple of months, of nice warm dry
weather will improve conditions, how
ever.
