[TowerTalk] Digging the Hole

[Jeff Carter]

Grave diggers. Call the local funeral home of your choice and ask who they use.

Think about how careful they are not to disturb the sides when there's
a body maybe a foot away.

>Some many months ago I either asked on this reflector or read on it about the particular piece of equipment some of you have used to dig a 3-1/2X 3-1/2X 7-1/2 deep hole for an LM-370 tower. I am at the point I can actually get it going but am having trouble getting the right excavating company with the right equipment. So, I really hate to beat a dead horse on this subject, but outside of "day laborers" which I may end up using anyway, what is the best way to dig this hole so the remaining soil around it is undisturbed? Who has a picture of the actual machine they used? I have seen it before but don't remember where.
