After work yesterday I told Paul I was going to take a weekend off from probing & digging because I was burnt out from this nasty azss heat wave,115 heat index yesterday. When I got home,it didnt take me long to call him up and say "ahhh what the hell lets go probe something" it was only going to 99 today [8D].
We went back to the 25 footer we dug to add some more "solid fill" (its still sinking) and it was stinking! some one left a dead dog in a black trash bag right by the fence where we dug,people sickin me!we ended up getting a few wheel barrows full of bricks from the guy down the ally who hooked us up with 3 places.The dog went in the hole and then the bricks and more ash.The people around the area were very happy,because it smelled like------ I can't even begin to tell you,it was bad.[
]
After that we started to probe a yard in the ally,the ground it very hard from lack of rain and dam heat,its tough probing.But me manged to get one going.It looks like a big one,the cap has to be 3 or 4 foot of hard packed dry clay.We didn't even get it to the cap much today, Paul had to pick his kid up.plus my brain was frying so it all worked out[]
There was some cool looking pieces in the top fill though.
Tomorrow the heat breaks,thank GOD.
Here are a few pix from today
