That will be the SW corner of the building (Camera is pointing just North of West). From that stake looking North you can see the two small logs standing on end roughly making up the NW & NE corners. Then between the stake and the bottom of the picture, you might be able to make out a rock with a log lying next to it. That would be the SE corner of the building.
As you can see, the Walnut stump is in a bad location and will be a joy to remove I'm sure. But, I left it a bit tall to provide more leverage for the backhoe to push around. That's the theory anyway...
Also, the field in the background does slope away from this lot allowing water to drain. It appears all I need to do is connect that dirt berm (creating a small levee) and then pump the groundwater to the other side of it. Gravity should take over from there.
The next project (pending ground thaw) will be to locate and dig up the sewer drain so I can install a "T" and vertical clean-out in preparation for running a sewer drain to the building later on. Then we'll work on getting those vertical tiles dug into the ground so we can start collecting and removing the runoff. I'd like to get that done before the spring rains come so we're not stuck working in a mud hole.
Eventually, we'll get the batter boards staked out as soon as it dries up.
So far, so good. No one got hurt and I got a good workout!
