Now what do I tell my wife?

Based on the thread, <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.tractorbynet.com/cgi-bin/compact/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=implement&Number=190181&page=1&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=0&fpart=>Post hole digger basics - getting the dirt out</A>, I guess I'm going to have to get a hand operated post hole digger. I bragged up the tractor mounted type when I was convincing my wife I needed one. So, now what am I supposed to tell her when I show up with a hand post hole digger?/w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

Show up with a friend instead.

Look at what I bought you! Now you won't have to mess around with a tractor and heavy attachments if you need a hole dug and I'm not around. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Danny, you could use the famous words of the John Belushi character in 'Animal House' to Flounder as another fraternity brother is torching body panels off Flounder's brother's car.

Belushi puts his arm around the shoulders of the disillusioned pledge, looks him in the eye and says, "Face it. You {expletive deleted}ed up. You trusted us."

tell her this is what happens when you dont get the deluxe tractor model.

Maybe I should fabricate a PTO driven vacuum cleaner and suck the dirt out of the holes! I could use the pump and hoses off of a sewer truck.

Just have her dig one by hand, then show her how easy it is to use the hand digger to remove the excess dirt from the tractor dug hole./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

If she is like my wife she won't get close enough to even see what you are doing! My wife is afraid of real work and she read the warning labels on the tractor and PHD. She wants to make sure she is more than 10' away so she stays more like 1000' back.
