    Rain is less of an issue now that the drainage is improved.
    Pool is still filthy, due to the rain and the digging.
    Here's to a dry, long autumn up here!

    You can come PETA the croc if you like. Apparently they are not nearly as mean as they look.

    It is looking pretty good. From that one picture it looks like pretty heavy loam ground you are working in.

    Looking real good Mike



    But don't you need to add a garage for your new Camaro?

    The hill is loam on sand. All around the pool is clay though. Very poor drainage around the area we are working.
    Probably why the concrete took such a beating around the pool perimeter. All that water couldn't get through the clay before it froze.

    And tha Camaro is safely in the existing garage Dave. I need an outbuilding for forge work if I ever get one.
    Frankly I am having to decide between the Camaro and the Corrado as I don't have the room for both. .

    Tough choices Mike. If space is an issue you can keep the Camaro at my place.
