KIWI SINK Dig Report--19 May 2013--Pretty nice day today with but 6 diggers in existence. The place was a bit crowded with 7 barrels waiting to be filled and lots of back fill, soaked by the recent rain, waiting to be dug. Having a short crew was pretty much a good thing as we were a bit crowded and there being a shortage of places to put the barrels. We filled 7 barrels by noon and undermined and isolated a few rocks that would need hoisting. As soon as the barrels were all loaded we started hauling them out of the pit and to the dumping grounds. That job was finished by a little after one o'clock and we set back to digging and loading barrels again. Come 3:30 and we had 4 barrels and several more rocks, some weighing 4 or 5 hundred pounds, waiting in line to be hoisted. Some of were working in the sun on a hot day (low '90s) and were becoming weary. We set about to hoisting some barrels to provide space to dig floor material away but by the time that had been done most of the people left were ready to quit. So we did. The winch got wanky on the last couple of lifts. Need to suss out the cause. Totals fore the day: 11 barrels and 3 rocks, 2 being relatively large.
