This is about 30 pounds of sticky clay hanging in Dozy’s bucket.

Well I have a bit more trenching to do.  The plumbers are coming on Thursday and we have to provide a trench for the sewer line from where it exits the house, turns, and goes under the North West retaining wall.  It will get stubbed off in the general location of the future septic tank. The ground is a bit damp from the recent rains which made digging in our clay soil a challenge.

Even with copious amounts of spray silicone in the bucket, the clay would stick.  I had to get off Dozy and attack the “lump” of clay with a shovel.  It was a slow and tedious process.
