I want to dig a really deep hole on the front lawn. I'm going to hire a mini digger. I just want to. Can anyone stop me? Does anyone want to help?

The man's a mad madman!

Cool. Bring me back a 'Roo.

You don't need to hire a mini digger! There's plenty of peeps on here good at digging holes for themselves, me included! :hihi:

the film field of dreams springs to mind

I reckon the council would be a little annoyed at you.
Can I help? I used to love digging holes as a nipper and could do with some hard graft in the garden. Once found half a drain pipe 3 feet down in my friend's mom's garden. Are you hoping to get rich from this, maybe strike oil?

See you under the ground of Siberia, I just started digging from this side with a mini shovel.

Strange as it is, I'm sure someone asked this before :suspect: *goes to look*

You can only get as deep as the digger arm will let you though but good fun. I dug a 2m deep 6m long trench in my garden when I had a digger just for fun.

Where will it come out??

Under Tony Robinson's nose, probably.

I'm glad you said that.

I was experiencing the same deja vu. :)

And I'm glad you said that! I can't find it anywhere but I'm certain someone did, thought I was going :loopy: for a minute!

This guy's been doing it for years:

I'm with Twiglet - but somehow I think it was in 'I'm really bored' so if anybody knows how to search that? :hihi:

I think the upshot of that one was the HSE would have something to say if you didn't drive pile sheeting after the legally required depth :thumbsup:

We should get an allotment, stick a shed on it for cover and dig dig dig.

NO!! cos youll push me in and fill it in
i know your game matey :P

My pup's an excellent digger. Only problem is she knows shes been naughty so walks backwards until shes forgiven.

Maybe she could join team gaping garden hole?

If you dig a hole in spiral fashion with your excavator you may get a hole to rival this one :P

So deep it takes 90 minutes to drive back to the top

:thumbsup:

That is, indeed, a very big hole.

As for the 'mole man', eccentric as he may be he has made my day with this quote.

"I don't mind the title of inventor," he said. "Inventing things that don't work is a brilliant thing, you know. People are asking you what the big secret is. And you know what? There isn't one."

What a fantastic idea! I must admit, i am idol so i wont even offer to dig, but good luck, and keep us posted, as to how it goes!
