[TowerTalk] [Bulk] My hole is angled. :(

I am sorry to hear that, Grant. I have to admit you lived my worst fear in digging but I finished today and had nothing more than hard dirt and some of the fattest fishing worms I ever did see to deal with.  73,

 We (K7LXC & I) ended up finding a unknown buried abandoned septic tank 
for my HDX589 base.  Moved over 5' and found a second one!  Concrete 
without rebar is legal structural fill so the humongous hole sucked up 
19 yards vs the 9 yards for the UST design.  Use a form to make it look 
good above ground and pour to have 6" of topsoil over the fill concrete.

> Hello everyone.  When last we spoke I was off to dig my hole. 36×36×48. At the top I have a slope of about ten degrees to the east. I'm about done but I have not decided what, if anything to do about the slope. I'm going to level the bottom which I estimate will mean going to 50 inches on the west side. So long as the bottom is level do I need to concern myself much with the top? FYI...digging sucks. Lol.
