Hey Rick,

I see a ladder running up the side of the pit. What kind of ladder is that?

Tom

whats up Tom
That is the home owners fold up ladder. It is the kind that fold in to a v and also straight. We put all the pieces together and thats all she wrote,we need a bigger ladder for the rest of the dig.
Isn't this great,a thread about a hole [:D]

It is amazing that someone would dig a hole that deep and then line it with brick or stone. It is hard to believe that someone would go through all of that trouble and they were built so well. We dug a brick liner by Detroit a few years ago, it was about 12 feet deep and very solid. I would be nervous at 34 feet. I would worry about bad air down that far. I often thought about borrowing a gas analyzer from work to use on deep digs, but we just don't get them much past 12 feet around here. I wish you guys good luck on this one.

A box fan works,lay it across a board or shovel over the pit and turn it on high. It circulates the air down there.

Back when privys were in use they called bad air "Misma" but it wasn"t the bad air you are referring to. It was azz gas. Lol crap stink [:mad:] I have to fart. People thought death was coming from the "bad air" but in reality it was the crap it self that was killing half the population."Boy that dip job was bad,let go get some dinner with out washing our hands". Lol Boy we sure came a long way.
