Progress, progress, progress

Wow so I had a very productive Saturday. I basically spent 5 - 6 hours in the backyard digging. I have 5 of the 8 footers now down to 36 inches, which was no small task. I will hopefully in the next couple of weeks be able to dry the footers out and get to pouring concrete though the way things are going it might be awhile with all this rain. I have the concrete, footer base, and footer form all on back order so that when it is dry I will be able to get right to work. I am still drying to decide if I want to get a cement mixer or do it by hand. All in all it is very exciting to be making good progress. I hope to have the material for the first phase of the drainage system in the next week or so. Then I can go ahead and start to get that part taken care of and show progress in that department. Well I have pictures of the footers but haven't uploaded them yet so I will get that done tonight and show those off.
