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.


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