"Should be NO STARS. After agreeing to project, Currans kept delaying the starting date for 7 months. Went with another contractor. 17 Feb 2025 – Chose Currans to do the project. 24 Mar 2025 – Inquired and Currans replied: "...end of April..." (no activity in April) 20 May 2025 – Inquired and Currans replied: “waiting for weather to clear” 1 Jun 2025 – Phillips: Asked to postpone until July, due to travel. 8 Jul 2025 – Inquired and Currans replied: “You all are on the schedule”. 26 Jul 2025 – Inquired and Currans replied: “Yes, sir. 100%” that we are on schedule. 31 Jul 2025 – Inquired and Currans replied: “Shooting for August 16th” 15 Aug 2025 – Inquired and Currans replied: “Yes sir. You’re up next week.” 28 Aug 2025 – Inquired and Currans replied: “Yes sir. Things have been hectic between your schedule and mine. I will let you know something definitive this afternoon.” Nothing heard since 28 Aug 2025"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

The completion timeline for an in-ground swimming pool project typically ranges between 8 to 12 weeks, depending on weather conditions, the complexity of the design, and any unexpected ground conditions encountered during excavation.
