I've decided to dig a hole

I think I'm officially dug deep enough for the next set install. I'm 13' deep, a good 5' below the second set. Hopefully putting some new wood in the next month.

some recent material purchases:

$60 for 1.5x1.5 slotted angle iron (3× 5')

$10 for 10 square washers

$10 for 10 nylon steel 5/8 nuts

$100 for 4x5' 5/8 threaded rod

I want to buy the 4x6s for the fourth set this week, so I can make sure the holes line up.

I fucking forgot about this thread for like a year. Holy shit YES that it is still going on. 

Same - that's why I finally made a post here, so I don't have to catch up on 14 months of digging and I get notifications of new hole stuff going down (NTTAWWT)

What does this mean (to you, not @CleverNickname).  I'm certain there are plenty of Shaggers who hope this doesn't ever end & is even passed down to generations of Mini-Clevers.

Yeah,, I'm with ROFL on this.  I'm viewing this like I view my car project.  Nothing is ever really "finished"...there's always more that can be done... :)

The 5' threaded rod I ordered wasn't going to make it in time for this weekend... so I spent another $280 on 4x6' rod, 3/4 galv pipe (internal ladder component), and slotted angle iron (for the fourth set, 12 to 16' deep). My wife is pissed. But the hole beckons.
