Folks -
Well, I'm spending the day in the shop instead of building one.... Worked yesterday mostly cleaning up the aftermath of the backhoe work, moving dirt, etc...
I am getting a welter of conflicting information about my options for dealing with the footing trenches being too wide and deep. I'll post a follow up later on and do appreciate all of the posts and thoughts you guys have provoked with your replies.
More to come!
John
