It didn't take long to decide to hire a small back hoe for the guy anchors.
No, that isn't shale, it's good old fashioned clay. Fortunately it was moist 
clay when I was digging it out. Notice it didn't come out in very large 
pieces. <:-))

I once hired a teenager to dig up the weep tile across the back of the 
house.  The more he dug the more he decided going to college looked better 
all the time.
