Back in March I started shoveling the kaolin clay out of my old clay pit into the 110 gallon water tank, as the opening salvo of the great clay transfer. I blogged about that in a previous post.
On April 1 we finished the berm that would border the new clay pit. The liner for the pit arrived a few days later. On April 7, I built a chute that I could use to carry the clay to the new pit.
Anne and I started transferring the kaolin clay from the old pit on April 9. I also emptied the water tank into the new pit on April 9. I finished the transfer today (April 11).
I shot a bunch of video to document the entire process, and we got some photos along the way. I posted some video on BluSky and X. I’m considering posting a video of the entire process here, but I don’t have it ready, and it may be too large (probably be close to 10 minutes long). It’s not a high priority, since nobody here seems terribly interested in this project. Don’t worry, I made the new pit so I could shoot some sexy clips in it, so there is probably some sexy content coming soon.
I am very excited that the transfer is complete. That was an arduous task; partly because it involved lifting about 3 tons of clay out of a deep pit and moving it to another pit, but also because the clay in the old pit had thickened so much that I had to work it relentlessly and vigorously. I have lots of sore muscles from the effort.
Hello Doug…
Sorry to be out of touch the last three weeks. I’ve been in Hendersonville, and have followed all your posting here. I wanted to buy your most recent videos but logging into C4S required a rather complicated age verification process which was ridiculously long and, frankly, stupid…so I just cut it off and, as a result could not log on to purchase, or even check for new videos. I’ll catch up on all you’ve been doing in a couple of days when i’m back home in Santa Monica.
No worries, Dolphin. I know you will catch up, eventually!
