Holes
for the last 3 days, including today, i've been digging a series of ditches. by hand.
rule 1 of holes: if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging rule 2 of holes: at some point, the dirt has to come out to make the hole/ditch rule 3 of holes: any given hole will look like less work than it actually is rule 4 of holes: there will always be some dirt that will not fit back in the hole when you are done. |

I see a lot of digging going on around here. So many new homes going up in north Texas. Some of the saddest building I have ever seen. They are just yanking trees out then digging a foot or so in fluffed dirt and calling it a foundation. Then add some sticks and chipboard with a brick fascia and sell it for big bucks. It is amazing what fools will pay for. That is why I build my own.

Caltrans, the agency in California who does roadwork, has announced they will be laying off 50% of their labor force. This layoff coincides with the purchase of several hundred thousand shovels equipped with kickstands.

Good exercise but if I had very much to dig, I'd be looking to rent some heavy machinery.
In our area you can get a 2 ton excavator for about $200/day. Scott

Was wondering why you needed drainage.
