Kayak - dig - cut

Going to camp.  Back from camp worn out.  We are in full swing using our kayaks. Up river, down river brief out and backs.  Her project was to continue to discard.  Heaps and bags of discards.  Mine was to level the porch.  Two choices, either raise the camp or lower the porch.  The level showed a tilted porch but level camp.  Patient digging allowed me to undercut the porch support pads.  Finally the pad slipped gently off the supporting clay and with a sigh the porch settled. 

In following days I must reset the pad and fill the trenches.  Goal is to reduce future frost heaves.
