Water truck

You can't build a road without making a mudpie. I rented this water truck for a week. The waste caliche had a lot of sand in it and I was afraid that without lots of water and compaction that my runway would not be solid. It has been really dry in south texas, and it was a challenge to keep it wet. We first wet the sandy sub grade so the first dump trucks would not get stuck (although we did stick a couple--backhoe pulled them out) Then we made the dump trucks run all the way to the end of the runway for each load, and kept the caliche wet during that process. I didn't need instruments to tell it was 100% compacted
