    Water table is at ground level now :yikes:

    After sponging it all out, the water kept rising so decided on the barrier method.

    Used Hydraulic Lime so that will set underwater.

    Oh joy, it's raining again now :doh:

              Can you get your lathe above the water- perhaps use some of those bricks or will it be okay where it is?

              So sad to see this happening.:sad:
