The Muir beach area of Marin got a decent drenching overnight with some unseasonal rain. Yes, that rare event when rain falls during the summer months. Roads were wet, puddles were about, and the trees were dripping. The Green Gulch farmers were not to be denied, and they hit the fields at the usual hour: 6am for a harvest of vegetables and lettuces for the table and for market.
The mayor did his volunteer thing, helping out where he could. On this day, one of the structures on site needed some foundation work. So, after a brief consultation with the manager, my Brit friend and I picked up our tools and went to work. After several hours, we had removed about 1/2 yard of dirt from under the building. More support jacks were needed, so, off to Harbor freight to pick up a pair of hydraulic 12ton jacks.
The sun broke out before lunch, and a fine meal was consumed on the deck, bathed in bright sunlight. Nice hot curry vegetable soup with fresh green salad and homemade bread. Delicious.
Around 4pm, we called it a day, satisfied we had made some progress, and could anticipate fixing the foundation sooner rather than later.
