I saw a movie once where children used a non existant half platform to get to a school where they were taught magic by a bunch of crazy people. Oh and the pictures of people moved.

Have you ever dug a hole tp? Its a lot of work and i would say that is a greater syntax error

Digging holes is only hard around suburban/urban housing, because they gravel the dirt..

You go out of that environment..  Digging holes is easy..

This confirms you dont dig many holes, i have dug holes in a varielty of places not urban/suburban and i can confirm it can be hard as ****. Then again its probebly just the **** environment of Australia that causes such terrible ground to dig. You probebly have pansey soil over there. Not tought manly soil like here.

 bae pls..... snow shovel..... .Australia.

Its the sheer number of rocks embedded in clay that make it terrible. You spend more time on a breaker bar smashing them down then actually shovelling.

Granted,  a predug hole should not have these probelms but i mean you add rocks to anything and you have a bad time.

I live with death all around me. A hospice to the East, graveyard to the South, and a crematorium to the West. My apartment complex is nested right in a triangle of death.

No one guards the graveyard at night, I sometimes go for a late night walk through it but there are cameras on the lamps.

Here in Georgia it is like that a lot. I am a big guy and I have literally jumped on the shovel and barely made a scratch.

Our red clay turns into a brick in the summer when it is hot and dry, and then turns into muck in the winter when it is wet.

"Glacial till" leaves us random gifts from the size of beans to the size of motor blocks - or larger.

I feel for you, ground conditions like that just turns any form dirt removal into a living nightmare,

That's why you just get giant-assed machines that rip through sandstone and "soft" rock like it was nothing, and only start balking at serious outcroppings of limestone and granite for example.

Some cemeteries/graveyards have guard, but most don't, it's not like the residents get unruly at night.

Actually, you would be amazed at how many small graveyards are all around us, my last house had a small graveyard in the back corner of it. It was kind of neat digging into the history of it.

That is actually pretty cool. There was this abandoned quarry I used to go to when I was a kid. It had a cemetery on it. That cemetery was the final resting place for some of the first residents of my home town. so random, just fenced off next to some old sheds in amongst abandoned private property

Years ago, I had a co-worker who was horrified to realize that he had bought a house that was downhill/downstream/downwind from a cemetery. And the house was on a well and septic tank system.

I told him not to worry, that it was a probably a peaceful place, but he was shaken up pretty badly.

What was he afraid of? The thought of all those dead people, strangers visiting there, or something supernatural?

[fohat.digs]

What was he afraid of?

This was an ignorant, backwards kind of guy, very good at what he did (job-wise), but not "philosophical" in any way.

I think that his biggest fear was bad juju in the groundwater that supplied his well.

Our property was part of a tobacco plantation before the Civil War and the grave yard was the family plot. You could count rings on the trees we cut down and date them back to just short of the Civil War which was when the plantation died.

One thing to note about pre-Civil War graveyards...
While the family was buried inside the marked area (the family heads even had a small blacksmith forged fence around them), they used to bury the slaves around the outside of it. We were warned we could find bones if we did so we never dug anywhere on the other side of the creek. While we never learned where the main house was, our neighbors lived in the former slave quarters. Terrible little house, not only was it falling apart, but they still used gas lamps in some parts of the house, not sure why they stayed in it, they had the money to move or build a new house.
