[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1369886, member: 4362"] Bigfoot, I don't know what your soil is like but its simple enough here with our sandy soils. It sucks when you hit a rock though. There is nothing you can do but start over. Here, its real simple to get down about six foot. Takes about 15 minutes. Then you hit a clay layer and it slows it down - maybe a foot every 15 minutes. Then you break through this and you hit the pudding and it goes like a charm. I imagine if you have clay it would take you longer but it is really simple. If you don't have a water source you can easily replumb a nurse tank and that will work. I like having water sources scattered around because you never know when you'll be without power and having a pitcher pump on one of these will do trick. HomeDepot and Lowes used to carry the fittings you need to wash with. What I'd suggest is to take the piece with the ball valve and cut some better teeth. Also cut teeth in your 4" casing. You don't have to but it will speed things up because anything you can use that will help gnaw at the clay will help the digging process. Oh, and be sure to do it on a hot day because you will get wet. :lol2: [/QUOTE]
