We have about an 1.5 acres cleared up to this point. Started moving the topsoil yesterday. Today I took the backhoe down the to the site and dug a couple holes. First one was about 8 feet deep and I hit water at 6 feet. I was not expecting to hit the water table.

This was about an hour after I dug the hole. Probably a foot deep at this point. Hopefully it won't be a problem. I dug down through 5 feet of clay before I got to the water.
