that makes sense.. if it’s that hard to dig, eff it. build up :)
Where i live you almost have to wait for the ground to freeze. This area is one huge sand box, and it’s deep.
Digging a basement is hard because the hole keep falling in on you while your digging.
Yeah, 40-50 years ago if someone heard a loud “bang” around here they would attribute it to a dynamite shack going up. People had dynamite shacks. Think about that today. Back in the day people routinely used the stuff to move rocks and such. Dynamite was regularly used in the building of tanks (what people might call “ponds” in other parts of the country) as routine. You blasted your tank, you didn’t dig it.
If one had a dynamite shack today it would be an FBI/ATF/CIA nightmare.
