I had a problem at this QTH with side cave ins and so forth. On a couple of
the holes I formed up the walls with CDX sheeting 1/2 inch. In Florida not
much time passes until the termites eat the forms and the earth settles next
to the concrete. Anything left in the ground or touching it for more than a
week during the wet season if not pressure treated, succumbs to their
attack.
