Water, Mud, and Concrete Forms

Despite the little mishap yesterday we're still on track to pour concrete tomorrow, remove the forms and waterproof the walls on Thursday, back fill early next week and be ready to frame by the middle of next week.

 The forms went up today, but first we had to get rid of all the water that hadn't drained in the 4 days since the last rain.  Lots of clay = lots of wet muck.
This is the excavator that fell into the hole yesterday.  It was bailing out the water one bucket at a time today.
The damage to the footing from the excavator hit after the debris was removed.

The almost complete forms (no wall in the corner where the footing had to be rebuilt yet).
