Largest hole I have ever hand dug...no target

[gunwolf]

my half broken old body helped my daughter dig out a spot for her new pool... her yard is far from level... this was day 1 about 2 hours in trying to work my way down to grade, it's about 18" in a 20FT span.... don't know if there is going to be any "Old" targets down the 18" on one side... but I'm gonna scan it tomorrow... house was built in 89, but land was originally orchards back into the 1800's... never know!

it’s amazing how painful digging really is when you don’t get that instant reward for your efforts..lol..

Good thing you're a young man.
You going to be there awhile.

My first weekly paycheck job was hand digging 6 feet under. I was 16 and would hand dig graves . Its definitely a good workout , have fun .. Think about that refreshing pool when its in the 90's this summer. Besides that your helping out your family and the rewards for that are priceless. Family is everything.

yeh 55 ain't no spring chicken... and yes it's red clay and the goin' is tough... I'll keep at it till it's done... not my deepest hole ever, but my largest... I'm gonna MD in the morning for a few hours then head over and continue... those 8" plugs I'll dig in the morning will be a treat!

funny I always get the "you don't look 55" thing.. well I worked hard and played harder and my favorite saying is.. I'm a classic muscle car with a weathered but solid body... too bad the frame is rotted and the motor is knocking

I was born in ‘54 but damn I miss that ‘56 Ford SB with built up 292! We just understood each other.
