208.365

I LOVE how the Matthews Family works together through ANY problem!
This trench looks a little different than it did last night, right?
Well over night, somehow the irrigation flow was opened and filled, I mean FILLED the entire trench.
Needless to say, things were a little hectic this morning.
We had to get water pumped from out from under the house, and all the water out of the trench.
No small feet I tell you.
Sure, there was some worry, but never a 'I give up' kind of attitude.
You do what you gotta do to get it done.
I love that about this family!
So a few sump pumps later...we got under the house dry.
Then Brent rented a larger sump pump and pumped out the trench.
It was going well, and in pretty good time.
Until they realized that the walls had caved in on each other in several spots.
But, onward they go, digging out what they needed to do, burying the line deeper where they needed to.
A few glitches here and there.
Actually, pretty much EVERYTHING went wrong!
But they are pretty close to having it fixed up all nice and new.
They all work so well together...
And thankfully everyone came out safe and sound, pretty dang dirty, but safe and sound!

Brent and Caleb digging out what used to be a 9 foot trench!

Still working hard at dusk...we started at about 7 a.m.
Our sweet patient, VERY DIRTY kids!
Pretty bad day to start with...not so bad anymore!
