Moz's hole lot of trouble

I'm posting this mainly to give myself some motivation to keep building and also just cos it's a big thing and people like them. Stupid ex gf. At this point I do have a few ideas for where this might go but nothing definite yet. Anyway I'll update this each week, set myself some goals for the week and if I'm lucky I might hit a few of them along the way, so here goes.
Week 1 aka "How I learned to hate sponge" Week 1 Goals - Plot out shape, lay down walls, drain water. Easy right? Right?!
I was bored and thought "what I need in my life is an enormous circular hole" cos well circles in a game of squares are just plain cool. For some reason I thought 275 diameter would be a nice size (really no idea why) so I plotted in on mineconics and started stringing together some stone in an area near my town spawn.
That was surprisingly easy.
By this point I was starting to question the people who came up with sponge.
By now I'm just questioning my own sanity.
I never want to see a sponge block again, but it's done! About 1.5million water blocks sucked up by around 25000 placed sponges. It felt like sooo many more than that.
Week 2 Goals - Start digging. I want to take the floor down to layer 10 and the floor averages around layer 38 atm so lots of shovel and pick action. 1 layer is around 58k blocks so I'm going to aim for 2 layers per day, 116k blocks per day should get me done in about 2 weeks hopefully if I don't hit too many problems irl. The goal for this week, make it down to layer 20, then I should be in good shape to hit my target of layer 10 by the end of the following week. Btw if anyone has a use for 58k gravel, I can probably help.
