So due to some approval delays I've missed the nice weather for excavating strip footing and digging stump holes. I'm faced with digging these out and having it rain whilst I wait for them to be inspected or the opportunity to pour (Murphy's Law). I've been here before ... it bucketed after I dug 56 stump holes previously.

I found that even if you cover the holes the water tends to find it's way in by run off or just seeping in from the earth around (if it's a significant amount of rain). So I thought I'd just ask if there were any tricks out there for avoiding this (other than trying to pick a suitable period and make it happen promptly)?
