Filling the hole

 

With the concrete walls poured, the workers

 began insulating and waterproofing it.

Then they began adding dirt.

 The picture above shows two things which followed.

They brought in this remote control unit to pack the ground. Whenever this was running you could feel it in the church or the parish office.

Then this little unit tests the ground. It checks the moisture, soil density and soil type. We were unable to use some of the soil we had on hand because the moisture was a little too high.

If you're thinking of Christmas gifts,

Fr. Damian says he'd like one of these.

With the rain last night, we know it's waterproof.
