Slow but sure


It's taken quite awhile to get this going. We're digging the piers ourselves and everytime we clear the holes, another hurricane comes by to see how it's going. You would think digging in sand would be fairly easy. HA! We drilled the holes with a tractor- worked fine on the shady side, barely made a dent on the sunbaked side. But they're finally dug and we have half of the piers up.
Only problem is these pesky hurricanes, see. They miss us but they leave a bit o' rain to remember them by. So the holes that aren't filled have to be scooped out and dry before we can pour the cement. We've found it's easier to soak the water out.
