Buckets and buckets

So...Rain has not been our friend as the day after we started digging the basement the rain came. It's been upsetting but we're trying to roll with the punches. A corner caved in yesterday and the footers were filled with a foot of water. My mother in law suggested we go and bucket the water out so that we could get most of it out so the heat and sun will help dry it tomorrow. They are supposed to come Thursday and pour the walls.


This is a pic of Skye and his Grandpa trying to figure out what to do next with the frost footer being filled with a foot of rain!

 This picture is AFTER we bucketed all the water out that we could get!

 It doesn't look deep but it was almost to my knees, good thing I had those awesome boots!
