My bride? I been married 25 years [8|]

Over here in central PA, we don't get too many brick liners. Mostly stone. The last brick hole I dug was red brick. Square. Not parged. About 4x5' or so. We dug to the bottom and at 12' deep, it was the deepest one so far in this town. Most are 5-9' or so. No poo. No shards. No nothing except a really cool (although quite rusted) deco period toaster smack dab in the bottom.

Better luck to you.

And I'll have to sketch up my self-dumping bucket puller tri-pod idea.

Well we found out a little more about this thing. Today the dreaded iron pipe appeared in the wall. It looks like this might have been the original privy,but they highjacked it when they got plumbing and used it as a water closet.

The fire brick DOSE NOT go all the way down. It looks like they ripped out a section of the red brick wall when they put in the pipe.Under the pipe is all the old red brick.
This thing is narrow and deep.The probe still buries. (12 foot now)The question that remains is, did they clean the bottom when they converted this thing. I hate pipes,but since this thing is so narrow and deep there might be a chance they didn't mess with the bottom. Who wants to be covered in fresh night soil?

We can leave it open as long as we want so we just might dig to the bottom just for closure. "Pipes in pits" never were a good thing for me.Nothing good ever came from them.I said I would never dig another, and here I am again.

So that's my story and im sticking to it.[]

I love the old bricks and keep any I find or dig unless they are Very common. The ones we dig usually say Hallwood or Kentucky Block on them but every now and then we get some odd balls. I have used them as a border for my flower beds at Four residences now. The BEST ones that we dig are not glazed and have Maysville embossed into the face.
