There is a sump pump emptying water from the pond-in-process. David has done all of the digging by hand. Here he is a couple of feet down.

Had a wonderful long weekend on the coast with the family! So grateful for time together, and time just watching the kiddos learn & play and have a blast.
This man is digging a hole for the emergency latrine that we want to install, it has to be at least four meters deep! It's amazing how hard these people worked and how fast the emergency latrines could be implemented!

Those colored vinyls sitting out on top with no sleeves were children's records. I would have bought them except I was on my bike with no basket to carry them in and I gave myself a strict no-purchases rule for this trip. Pictures only.
Obviously there is gold and great treasure hidden in the mud, and this guy and his friends are going to find it.
Maggie, our coach, demonstrates correct double digging technique. Note the board to distribute weight and not pack down soil.
Too much plastic and styrofoam. When the shovel hits the plastic, it makes a strange sound. Sounds like a sick bird. I'm used to the clang of it hitting a bottle.
Here we have a Dutch Treats cigar pack, a Cheetos goosebumps bag and a Atlantic Community College pen.
Now...what do I do with this mountain of styrofoam?
Here I've welded the base of the shank to the black pipe (6013 weld rod is my favorite for this job) The next part took me a while to learn via several failures but is the secret to this lifetime tool. I have to render the TIP of the shank immobile where it lies encased now in the black pipe. I accomplish this by cranking up the arc welder to 135 amps and blast a small hole near the premeasured location of the shank tip. I then lay the weld bead on the shank through the hole I've made and slowly withdraw the rod filing the hole as I withdraw the rod. Look at the white dot on the black pipe to the left of the tip of the displayed weld rod. That's the fill hole now closed. I now flip the fork over and repeat the immobilization of the shank on the opposite side.
Experience shows me that this procedure stops any shank flexing inside the pipe and keeps my first weld from breaking loose. All I do now is coat the black pipe with liquid nails, a glue, and force it into the stainless steel pipe. This is the best fork not found on the market to avoid the frustration of another broken garden tool. It is made of TOtally REcycled MAterials (TOREMA) and money can't buy it. With all materials on hand I made two lifetime quality digging forks in under twenty five minutes. The fork leverages better for hard soils because it is long -handled and splinters in the hands aren't possible as there is no wood to weather. I paint the tines gold and call it "The TOREMA gold digger!"
