sheesh i found the water problem ...its a spring that leacking bigtime right beside the upperhill side of the building .....fought the flow of the spring over the last few days digging the trench out actualy useing the flow to help cut the path ....put the drain as deep as i dare ....good thing i built the building like a huge one piece structure or im sure the building would have sunk some ....anyway im beat up pretty bad getting this done ...digging is rough to man up on ...in a job like this ...and that the outcome could still be not enough ....still have to fill in soon but the drain is in place ...im certaimly glad thats done :heat:
Yep, where's all the help when you really need it, right ? I know what ya saying, takes me couple days to get back up to speed after doing jobs like your doing too. Hope it fixes your problem with the water, hang in there.
