Fortunately, it only rained a � inch, but that was enough to shut me down for a couple of days. During these two days I used 1-inch PVC pipe to siphon water from the two large puddles that had accumulated.
(Above) Siphoning water with 1 inch pvc pipe. At the time the photo was taken I hadn't yet scraped and recoated the dam, which you can see in the background. (Below) Notice the contrast of color in the background of the red clay vs. the white clay.
When I resumed work I had to first scrape out the muck from the bottom of both ponds in order to speed the drying process, for I found myself racing the clock again due to the impending rain that was forecast.
