That is some project, how exactly are you getting this done? The pics confused me. how do you get the soil out down to 15'?

What I can see is good clean work.

Glad to see you here again, we've missed you.

This how we do get as far down as we can with the machine and with the soil not caving in then start to form and work from inside the forms .
