I have to say that I have the best kids in the world. Every mom probably says that, but I really mean it! They are working so hard on our drywell project that they make a mom and dad proud.
This exceptionally beautiful, cool, dry weather is perfect for outdoor work. The kids have been digging and digging and they’re at 41 inches deep now! It has not been an easy task. The soil is heavy, wet, compacted clay. Rocks the size of soccerballs are buried in the soil, too.
Here are some photos of our hole.
Here’s our rock group. Believe it or not, we are still finding old bricks in here. I cannot believe all the bricks we constantly find buried on this property. Where did all these buried bricks come from?
This is a definite team effort.
I’d say we have about 8 to 12 inches more to dig down. Here’s hoping we don’t hit water before then. After the hole is done, next project is digging a trench for the outflow pipes. That should be easier. We hope!
Thank God the weather has been so nice. When it finally does rain again, we’ll continue our chimney/water damage repair inside. And soon we plan to take a few days off and do some traveling again!
