Money Pit!

One complication about living in Menlo Park is the necessity for a grading and drainage plan that guarantees that all the water that falls on our lot stays on our lot. A prime component of this is a big concrete seepage tank that collects the water and allows it to filter down into the ground rather than running off into the neighbors' yards. Our particular tank will be 4 feet by 12 feet, with the result that the concrete guys needed to dig a very large hole to bury it in.



I have dubbed this hole the money pit. Here is a great shot of the girls standing in the giant hole. Too bad we didn't find some hidden treasure as they were digging up the entire backyard.
