The Dig

Day 1 (1/24)...They discovered "ciliche" after digging down 3 feet. That just means more money for them. Now we have to pay them by the hour ($275) and give them our first born! Wonder how many hours it will take??





Day 2 (1/25)...John and I debate about doing the work at night ourselves since they left the machines and the keys. They spent all day (9 hours) yesterday with the "hard dig" and will need to do more tomorrow. Yeah, it is a lot of rock but geez. When this is over we will need to plant a money tree. For now, we just have a money dirt hole.




Day 3 (1/26)...Well, 12.5 hours and $45 each for 5 load they had to take somewhere special because of the "cliche" later and our pool is dug. You can do the math to figure out how much money out of pocket we had to come up with. John was SO happy. I wrote on the bottom of the check in the memo line "Ciliche Scam". Thought it was the truth. What a racket they came up with. It is all pool companies out here. Just a way to make extra money. Anyway, next is plumbing on Tuesday 1/30.




Here Christian is enjoying the machines they left at night. He had a lot of fun wathcing them dig every day. Most of the time he stood at the window in his underwear. I am sure he scared the snot out of the poor workers.
