Remove temporary wood bracing

Now you can see the fill nicely compacted about up to the 18" mark. I stopped shy of 18" to have some wiggle room to work with those pipes. Now I removed the screws that held the pipes in place. I removed the wood and posts, we don't need any of that anymore the fill will keep the pipe in place. You can see the string behind the pipes, and everything is looking nice and level. I used the shovel to get the fill behind, in-between, and under the ends of the pipe and tamped that down good by hand. Again perfection isn't necessary here. Done is perfect.
