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?

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.


But what the pole comes out in the Indian Ocean? His garden will be
filled with sea water.

Knock it off line a bit further and it might come up under Saudi...

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

RW has already covered that "ENSURE UPRIGHTYNESS WITH LEVEL".

In any case the car body filler would stop the leak.
