Guess what happens when you dig a hole in the earth and it rains and rains and rains?.. Well I found out as I stepped down into the hole( soon to be basement). I sunk down into about 1 1/2 feet of clay wet & thick. I would pay good money at a top spa for an hours soak in just that very substance but for someone getting ready to pour footings for the basement its a builders nightmare! But for every problem there is a solution and age and wisdom prevailed... Dad, having worked in this clay before new just what to do, it wasn't long before 2 loads of sand were being dispersed over and around the lot, Hooray we can walk! On an positive note, Excited to arrive today and see our civic address sign firmly planted in the ground... we must be one step closer to that permit!?
Still waiting... but not liking it..
Day #22
