Sept. 9, 2014 - Well, I had planned to complete excavation last Friday, Sept. 5 but that was overly optimistic in hind sight. It's been raining every other day and the dig site turns into a mud hole for at least 24 hours after a rain even though I'm trying to keep it covered with tarps. And then I'm finding that I'm only good for 4 or 5 hours of digging before I get too sore and tired. I'm down about 9 or 10 inches now and will start working the first layer of shelves next. I've moved the completion date for digging back to Sept. 19..... if the weather cooperates.
