We switched over from doing the foundation trenches and its shuttering boards, over to repair the Energy Module number 4 that had risen. We thought we might need the use of the mini-digger during the chore of getting the module back into proper alignment and depth again.

So we started by removing the dirt off the insulation panels forming the lid, lifted that lid off and revealed the rubber / plastic wrapped Aquacell crates.

After lunch, we managed to pull out the plastic crates without the sides falling in, but we did have to get the water pump out and remove another 200 to 300 litres of water still in the bottom!

The problem is that the bottom boards, all 4 layers of it, will need to be lifted out so we can see what has happened and dig out the water borne silt that landed under the module during the thunderstorm flood we had a couple of weeks ago.

We resume with that task tomorrow or Monday.
