Update time,
with the last of the rocks used for a wall I have built (3 feet high) it was time for the excavator to come in and clear the rocks out of the way and dig the hole. The limestone in this part of the block is about 4 feet deep and I have had the hole dug to 3 feet deep, nearly 1 meter by a meter at the top. I will need to use a crowbar to widen and bell out the bottom a little but you can see from the images that the hole is basically right. The excavator had to use a hammer bit to break the rock. It took about 2 hours to dig down 3 feet. After the last hole I dug by hand with Virgs; I vowed I would not do this again. It was hard work and took 8 hours to get down with a jack hammer deep enough. This time I used hydraulic power.
Time for mesh and concrete now.
