Deb Unger's always helpful crew helped Rob Swainston and I dig the holes for the 24' wood poles that were scheduled to arrive the next day. The very chill and friendly Peter used a mini excavator to dig my two, which needed a pretty large hole to accomodate the 30" sonotube concrete form, all 6 feet of it. Much broken crockery was found (all this land is landfill I'm told), institutional stuff from the 30's. Here's some process shots:

Next Up: the poles!
