More Digging.

Friday 11th of November 2016

Today was a lovely dry and sunny day in Derby - Ideal for more digging.
Neil from next door came to help today and brought his wheel barrow !

We carried on digging what was the rockery - advancing the cut edge towards the right hand fence - then concentrating on a 2 foot wide dig at the back which eventually reached the right hand fence!

Much better digging today in the dry - I won't dig in the rain again - the sludge trails all over and your boots weigh a ton !!

We took levels as we went along so that we didn't dig out any soil we don't have to.
The area looks strange with no visual level reference - the fence slopes down towards the end of the garden - it all appears wrong but the dumpy level says its good.

I have decided to try and get all the soil on the drive if we can before I get the grab truck in and then they can quote for the whole lot.

The pile is really growing now - I am amazed at the rapid progress, thanks to Scott and Neil for all their efforts.

Heavy rain tomorrow - Saturday - so a day off digging - back to it on Sunday.
Just to be be sure that I don't get a river of sludge in the rain - I covered the muck pile with Visqueen overnight.

Mike.
