While I do appreciate your point, we in Southern California have a similar problem. Depends on where you go, but for instance in MY area, we only had less than 4" of rain all last rainy season. Our home is built on what amounts to adobe dirt. When thoroughly dry, it's little different from fired clay... I know for a fact that our dryness goes down at least 3 feet (900mm+), maybe twice that. As you dig a trench, just below what passes for topsoil, you can run across breaks in the earth, large cracks you can't see the bottom of... THAT's dry! Be well and conserve where you can. Hope for some steady precipitation soon. <g> keith whaley -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
