Yeah I overdid it with the 8” Schedule 80, but some of that will be going under driveway on the other side of the property and I wanted the strength there. Probably could have gotten away with less, but could not return once it was bought. As the song goes, can’t stop now as the clothes are bought.

I would have gone with the schedule 80, 8, 10 or 12" - or corrugated in similar sizes.

Slotted covered corrugated if that would have been appropriate.

Sometimes you can't go too big.

I thought it was, Can't stop now that the clothes are off.

And I wonder why I got married at 17

OK so here’s the story on the line “can’t stop now because the clothes are bought.” It’s from a song called Urban Struggle by the Vandals. Back in the early 1980s when SoCal punk rock was in its halcyon days, the bands would play at the Cuckoo’s Nest in Costa Mesa, CA. Just a few blocks away was a Country Music Bar called Zubies. It was hard to keep the two factions apart, with both sides making fun of how the other dressed. Many times the interaction ended up in street brawls. So the song is making fun of the cowboys at Zubies with the line “cowboy look is the one I want, can’t stop now because the clothes are bought.” But, yes “can’t stop now because the clothes are off” works just as well.

 
@Big T
on the 5 word thread you said needing to hammer in pipe so second person-
Nope. Get a ratchet strap. Dally the short strap over one end (the side that isn’t going to move). Primer, glue, pull into the lip by hand, then dally paint he other end of strap on the pipe and ratchet it together.
Some guys do the spread half hitch with tape over end trick but a dally is faster and never failed me. A latched dally is best.

In the electrical world we have to do this alone all the time & use the grey schedule 80 stuff.

What's a daily?

I've always done a half hitch
 
Half hitch works.
Dally is just different, two wrap around and one through instead of one wrap around pipe and two through to secure.

Just using a ratchet strap allows the force needed when by yourself.
