Water, Water Everywhere!
Friday, Sunday and today rainy days. We'll be breaking the pumps out for tomorrow. It's hard to get much done. Cuts into the cash flow. One home owner wants to know "why" we're not there finishing the grading and topsoiling.

Re: Water, Water Everywhere!
Well one job I have a 2" electric pump going 24 hr a day even if it is not raining the footings are lower than ground water. The rain has actully been good for me I have been drilling rock for a water main in NYC it keeps the dust down.
