Backfill dirt is carefully poured around structure from the Bobcat by Jeff Gold
while Chris McShane spreads the dirt evenly around the walls. (July 26, 2005)




After every six inches of dirt is spread, Matt Williams guides a plate tamper
over it to ensure the soil won't settle later and pull down the waterproofing.
