Washout


After some significant rain Thursday evening, the pipe installation was effected on Friday. The rains caused the soil to become saturated and cleanup behind the pipe installation becomes virtually impossible.

Once the soil becomes wet, the cleanup behind is no longer efficient and neat. The soil now sticks to and smears on the turf leaving a less the acceptable finished product. Additionally with the amount of moisture in the ground the potential for damage to the turf has significantly increased, which will cause further delays.

All in all we have gotten off to a slow start, but the resources are being made available to help get the project back on schedule. I don’t doubt that at the end of the day everything will be fine, but at this point the jury is still out.
