What, if anything are you doing to keep the hole plumb / square?  Looks like you're doing a good job maintaining dimension, but are you doing anything to keep everything straight?  Does it even matter?

Not much and probably not enough. Generally the threaded rod wants to hang down. But if it does wander, not that much. I'll clean up maybe later when (if) I dod concrete.

Perhaps this was addressed early on, but are you married/partnered? 

If so, what does your better half think about all this? 

It keeps him occupied and out of her hair. She probably looks forward to him disappearing down there.

I guess that may depend (at least in part) on the life insurance policy.

The boy likes hanging out with me at the ranch. As long as I don't spend too much on the hole, she is okay with it. Not so much as a fan of me going alone all day, if the kids are keeping her busy, which is fair. But all in all it may he cheaper than golf, and less time consuming too.

Dangling noodle. Happens. While I was in the hole is started storming. I figured, safe place to be. Byt the plywood cover caught some flow of the roof and channeled right on my head. You can see it in the first photo. Ugh. So that was it for today. Got out maybe 7 buckets. I need to around and raise the lowest level by abiut 3 inches but it was kinda wet so I left it for now.

Sometimes there are crickets and

I think you would have mentioned it, but have you had any critters fall in there and couldn't get out?  Bugs, furry beasts, sneks, whatever. 

Sometimes there are crickets. And tiny frogs that maybe eat crickets. And one time I found a snakeskin shef from a snake who probably eats frogs. But I think I have it sealed better now, and that doesn't seem to happen much. I'm always worried some dumbass deer is gonna fall in and die. But if I leave the plywood on, it gets too humid.
