Just wandering how long (in hours perhaps) it will take to dig 4 X 4 X 6 feet deep hole in medium to heavy clay using just hand tools like a shovel and stuff by one person. I am looking for ball park

I think it's impossible to estimate without knowing the soil, and if the conditions you describe remain constant all the way down to six feet. In standard undisturbed earth, a 4x4x6' hole takes one p

About ten years ago, I had a son that had just gotten out of the Marines and asked me if I needed any work done. I tasked him with digging such a hole. It was 4ft X 4ft by 6+ ft deep. He dug it alone

While not denying the putative benefits of healthy exercise in the outdoors (at least, that's what I tell the kids), a trip to the local equipment rental place might turn up some things that will mak

I dug a 2x2x4 hole here in FL sand by myself in about three hours, including wheel-barrowing the dirt away. Much easier than I thought it would be, however mixing the concrete by hand was much harder

Boy does this bring back memories! My 6x6x6 hole for my self supporting tower started off real easy. I live in the Pine Barrens of NJ, lotsa SAND. So I decided to dig it myself. I got down 1 foot rea

An advantage of this is that you can accurately dig straight sides to the desired dimensions for that first foot. Then, if you choose to bring in someone with equipment, you have given that person an

Andy et al: Let me chime in at this point. I chose the rented post-hole digger route two years ago to dig a 6X6X6 or so hole for my Trylon. I gave up after one evening of drilling and only a few DAYS

Gene is right. My advice also is to forget and call the contractor. It'll be worth it. However one thing to consider is that if you plan to use a concrete truck to pour the mix into the hole and plan

Andy, I spent about 5 hours the first day and almost 5 the next day on a 3.5' X 3.5' X 6' hole for my W-51 in some pretty well packed soil with a good amount (maybe that should be bad...) of clay. I

Also, throw down a tarp on which to shovel the dirt. If it's not a huge pile, it's also convenient to move it to another part of the backyard, leaving the grass around the hole dirt/clod/rock free. 7

Andy, It really depends on your fitness level. At age 58 (or so), and in the 135th percentile on a treadmill test, I took me about three days, but that included lots of rest stops, distracting phone
