Then... it rained... thunderstorm downpour... and this morning:
There’s good news and bad news. Bad news first - I have an undesirable swimming pool in the dark clay that has to dry or be pumped out. Guess I got a harbor freight trip ahead of me.
Good news:
1. The walls held.
2. Most of the excavation is in decent shape.
3. The geothermal depth is clearly going to be saturated!
4. The sidewalks are cleaner so my neighbors don’t complIn about the mess.

The forecast looks rough though... probably losing a week unless I’m really stubborn:
Hint- I’m very tenacious... I ordered a 40’ x 80’ tarp this time and I’m going to tarp the entire yard now!
I know it’s not fun but this will likely require some help. If you’re “tenacious” like me and are willing to duke it out with the elements
... just pm me and let’s plan for an epic struggle to protect the yard...
So dramatic, I know ...
