Folks:
I am the proud owner of a home, as of this past fall. I'm a new homeowner and this is a learning experience.
When I had the inspection done, the inspector suggested that I put a clay barrier around the north and west side of the house to prevent water seeping into the structure. I need to dig a trench of 6 inches down by 6 inches wide along the perimeter of the home.
Aside from the obvious answer, is there any tool or machine that would make this job easier. Sure, I can get on my knees and use a hand shovel, but that's a fairly work intensive project. If there is something easier, I woudl be interested in hearing about it.
Thanks for any information that you can suggest.
Cheers!
