Digging Under the Back Porch, Part 10

Bob came over this afternoon, and helped build/install some gussets to provide more support for the back porch. He also took out the posts that were resting on the concrete columns (so that we could remove the columns).

After work, Liz and I suited up and did some digging. We decided to do a little work ahead of the weekend, including getting rid of one of the concrete columns.

This was some poor planning on our part. I bought Sonotube, fast-setting concrete, and dug several post holes… all to just install them and remove them, a few weeks later.

Covered up more of the exposed areas, as we are expecting rain the next few days. My hunch is that a lot of the recent rain helped to loosen the soil. Anything we can do to protect this area will help, I think.
