Hi all,

I have hired a 3ton mechanical digger before, but with a new job at the
house I have to dig close and parallel to a wall. Is there a way of
angling the arm and digging in a kind of 45deg approach to the wall, or do
I need a special type of digger.

Just watch out for fibre-optic cables !

Yeah, only the copper ones are worth anything as scrap.

But just think of the fibre optic light sets you could make ...

Single-mode fibers don't work well.
The core is so narrow that you see little light from the end even
if the other is pointed at the sun

Put reality aside, just for a moment, please
