The LowDrill arrived and we started drilling the shoring piers today.

After preparing the site and the rebar cages, we started drilling and seeing what the soil conditions were truly like.

One of the first tasks was to position everything on the site, including the rebar cages that Darren and had worked so diligently on yesterday.

It took a while to get everyone in position and then the drilling started. They started on the only hole on the north side of the property and used the auger bit. Initially, the soil was bone dry and they drilled down at to just over 20 feet.
