Monitor of Building 250 Fence Construction (2002)

Remains were found in three places. In all cases, the 36-inch drill just nicked the edge of the foundation, resulting in little damage. Since the foundations are on the very edge of the holes, there was no need to dig further. The foundations were left in place. After the fence posts are...
