How deep you digging your holes? I'm guessing your soil must not shift very much. I grew up in the black land prairie, and if you were digging in the hard black dirt that we have with your post hole digger you'd have probably broke it by now, or pulled out the augerLast edited by Lone_Wolf; 05-30-2018, 02:58 PM.

You gotta lucky brother! Will be following along. I hate digging holes so i'd be in a bad mood right from the start! At least the daylight lasts longer but sadly so does the heat...
I'm with you on deals. i've owned bathroom sinks and tile bought from Re-Store a year ago for pennies on the dollar - they will be going in our ranch house. take advantage of those and you can splurge on a few extra sq ft and finishes.

I used an auger to dig 8 holes for a dog pen.
On the other hand Im in for ideas. Wife and I want to start on the lake lots we bought and even having a shell built for us to finish is gonna get $$$$

That should be all i pay to have done. Tempted to have spray foam insulation done as well. Decide when I get to that point.
Hanging drywall is easy... but taping and floating is a special skill that I never could grasp...

When I did mine I dropped (2) 500 gallon tanks 6' deep back to back and ran a horizontal line 150'. Graveless Septic line extended all the way dropping it 1" every 6'. If I can't locate this one I will probably do the same thing. Previous landowner has been contacted and should come out to give us an idea of location.
