"Where" did that earth come from?
From under the shed? Shed floor collapses.
Under the patio? Patio floor starts to sink.
From under the swimming pool? Where did that water go?
Under the pavement? Pedestrians start to fall into holes.
Under the road? For pedestrians, read cars
Under the house? Are you covered for subsidence?


Phil said it was "fine sifted" dirt. If originating from compacted
soil, the volume would be about half. Still, seems as if 6 barrows-ful
missing from a single site would be noticable.


How about one burrow full?
