No I wasn't; I'm lying.

But I do want an 'ole dug, for a washing line pole. A big, heavy,
iron scaffold pole that wants going into the earth about two feet.
What's the best way to dig a scaffold pole 'ole? I did read about
someone using water from a hose pipe to dig a pole into the ground
but it was lacking detail. Any suggestions? What about a scaffold
pole-sized drill bit? Is that
feasible?

Si

If this thread doesn't stop getting any more outlandish methods
posted - I'll come round and dig the bl**dy thing myself for nothing
:-)


All you need is a pole some 7,926 miles long, threaded at both ends.
Hammer down using any previous method discussed until only 12' extends
above ground.

Take flight to Australia & use nut & very large washer to secure, remove
any excess using angle grinder.

Simple, yet effective.


Not very useful though.
I recommend tying the line to a weight in synchronous orbit and then you can
rent out bits of it to other people..
advertising on the bottom 30 foot..
phone masts above that..
military comms above that..
windmills above that..
MANs above that..
WANs above that..
SKY..
NASA..
etc.
