We Found Water
Excavation continued today. We decided to go ahead and dig down another 10". The original excavation had been done to the top of the footings instead of the bottom. When we did that we found a huge pit of mud and a bunch of water. We tried to dig out the hole and fill it with rock but that didn't seem to fix the problem. The geo-tech came up to look at the soil. He and Bruce will have to work on a course of action.

Let the Digging begin!
Excavation started today at 7:00 am. We observed the Forest Service excavation crew at work. Several students left at 9 to work in the shop, finishing the railing prototype.
