Today, we started the chore of digging  out the Energy Module Number 3 to reset it back down into the ground at the correct flat level again (after the flood we had 10 days ago, that lifted it up 6inches!!).

We scraped the dirt off the lid.

Tomorrow, we will finish removing the last few plastic crates and rescue the rubber membrane. We can hope to keep the end walls standing up so we have the original distance already set but we will have to wait and see how they hold up.
