Mud, mud, glorious mud
There's nothing quite like it
For cooling the blood

Setting pile positions today after the first heavy rain for months

Well over ankle deep - should have bought my snorkel

Jim your pleasure is shared. We need that wet stuff badly.
Piles! For a building?
Will that upset the locals? Pile driving next to houses can bring out the unexpected and even from long way off.

Yes - piles for a house - around 40 x 10m piles. But they are screw piles - so not hard driven

The ground in this part of town is pure crap - that's a technical term. Boggy swamp and river sediments shot through with liquifaction.

There is a driven pile operation going on a couple of sections away. The driver of that digger in the pic says he can feel it even when operating.

Will it upset the locals? probably not - its way less vibration than any earthquake and we have more than ten thousand of them

Snorkel? In ankle-deep mud? I'm wondering why your ankles need to breathe... 😛
