Coal for fill????

Hey folks,

I've got a cellar under the barn that I may be able to spend a little time on this winter. The floor is 2/3 paved with bricks and flat/sloped a little to a drain but the 1/3 on the end where the drain is has been dug in and has a pretty low spot that collects ground water when the weather is wet.

Haven't been in there in a few months and today there was no water collected. It's still wet outside, maybe a shift in the ground water (??). Anyway, someone before us used to store coal in there and there is a bunch that I was going to throw away (it's egg shaped pieces) and then thought I'd just use it to fill in the low spot tamp it and spread a couple inches of gravel on the whole floor with a bucket and pump set in the place where water used to collect with a hose running to the drain. Then, maybe I can get some use out of the cellar. With coal being in the ground for millions of years, it should do OK to fill the hole in my basement shouldn't it?

Thanks, Dave
