So this is my spousal reward for helping Marcie with all those projects.

Plus, the radio/microwave gear is going to be solar powered. Here's a link to the project on my blog;

Ok gang -- you've convinced me that this is NOT a good project for the grapple bucket. Yippee! I get to try running a back-hoe. I think I'm gonna rent one -- I don't think I'll get to dig too many more holes like this one.

Thanks!
Don't rent a backhoe. Rent a TRACK hoe, you know... a tracked excavator. I have rented a small bobcat tracked excavator and it did a very impressive job. You won't be sorry.
