False alarm - Seffner sinkhole drama

I learned that recently filled sinkholes are steamy.  To someone, steam resembles smoke. Of course that someone called Hillsborough County Fire Rescue and reported a fire at my sinkhole tonight.

Seriously.

False alarm. I'm sure Bay News 9 will be at the scene soon interviewing anyone who walks by.

Seffner sinkhole Friday morning Nov 6

They will add about six more feet of filler today. Then eventually top it off with fill dirt.

Prepping for filling Seffner sinkhole

They put this plastic down every day to protect the ground and make cleanup easier. The cement truck backs up to this little hopper. The hopper is full of the foam which gets mixed with the cement and creates the grout filler.

Day 4 of filling the Seffner sinkhole

Cement mixes with the foam to create a grout that is lighter than the soil/sand currently in the yard. 20 trucks so far this week and probably 3-4 more today. They expect to be done with this process this afternoon. Next the ground is tested again. After that passes, top soil will be added and they are done.

Ten truckloads today - grout (cement mixture) Seffner sinkhole

I've been calling the filler cement/foam for three days and they like to call it grout. Getting closer to the top.

Garage door opener died. Of course

Anything else? Please happen now so I can deal with it...

Gary is installing the new opener right now.
