[QUOTE="BrokenBackJack, post: 297508, member: 642"] I remember when i was a lad, we used to hand dig graves. It wasn't a hard deal usually as there were 3 of us. The hardest part was when we would get a big rock that needed to be dug out and we were down 4-5 feet. Had to get ropes if we couldn't lift it out and tie the rope on it and if we still couldn't lift it we would get a plank and slide and pull it up on the plank. We thought we were pretty smart as we made a big net out of rope to put around the rock and then tie our pulling rope on the netting. Remember having to dig a couple when the ground was still partly frozen. If the picks didn't cut it we would then get some old tires and gas or diesel and set them ablaze. That thawed the ground pretty good or at least enough so that our picks would be able to bust up the dirt enough to keep digging. Those were the days. [/QUOTE]
