sorry I didn't get to finish my post before. Some non-thinking person thinks a 3' trench is adequate for a 24' run. I had to finish digging the trench. Anyway, I understand what you are saying about the traders at times being a fickle bunch. The point now is to rid ourselves of that limited mindset and move on with holders who have a more mature time frame. You do what is best for you and will cause you the least stress. I am holding.
