Trenching..

The day was mainly spent with going to Hilo in the morning to take care of odd's and ends. We needed to buy more supplies at Home Depot as well as Whitecap which provides the concrete accessories. We needed to buy our rebar chairs/castle chairs or however else you wish to call them. This keeps the rebar and wiremesh up in the air so it won't be laying on top of the base course rock where it would provide no benefit.

After we got back we got some work in though. We need to dig out some material for some inside supports walls which we will have. Its easier to do this now then trying to do it while we were filling the whole space in. We needed to go down 10 inches for this particular wall section that you see here. The other sections will be down 16 inches. We will rent a Jumping Jack style compactor which is able to fit into these small spaces to provide proper compaction.
