Decided yesterday to dig back I to my deck pilings. Figured I would start by removing the old ones. Dug down two feet and the holes filled back in with water. I'm guessing I do really need a French drain after all! I also figure, I can't put in forms until the hole is dry; my question is, should I wait on digging the trench until the ground dries out?
Just measured, the water, after sitting overnight, is about 18" down. It's pure soup down in the holes, must be just sand down there. I'm worried that if I dig, I will just be fitting mud and the walls falling in as I dig.
