We worked on digging the sump hole last night. We used my hammer drill with a chisel bit. The Hole is 40" X 46" buy 59" deep the base was about 3 1/2 - 4" thick.

We have red clay and it is very hard this hammer drill worked so well. My boy quit at dinner homework and stuff but

I worked until about 1:00 am and finished. We are having rain today so I needed to get done.

I hooked up my second IBC setup to catch rain water hopefully we will get enough rain to fill both IBC's.

I took the water out of the fish tank and put it in my sump is ¾ the way full of water.
I did not want it to float out of the hole today with the rain.

My arms are very sore today I hope to never do that job again.
