Water in the Hole

As I mentioned in my last post, when they dug the hole, the bottom of it was rather wet. Dave went out there this morning with a geotech engineer to look at it. They took a soil sample and looked over the entire layout. From the sounds of it, the engineer wasn't overly concerned. He's going to write up a report and get it to Dave by tomorrow morning with his recommendation. Dave believes that it may be the frog pond behind our lot that may be the source of the water. He talked with the land development company about it and they are "extremely receptive to assist in any way they can." They are going to send out their engineering firm tomorrow or Wednesday to assess the lot, the pond, etc. to determine what the problem might be and what they can do to remedy.
Even between yesterday and today the ground had dried out noticibly. So in the mean time, we're going to let the ground dry out and wait.
