We have red clay and it is very hard this hammer drill worked so well. My boy quit at dinner homework and stuff but
I worked until about 1:00 am and finished. We are having rain today so I needed to get done.
I hocked up my second IBC setup to catch rain water hopefully we will get enough rain to fill both IBC's.
I took the water out of the fish tank and put it in my sump is ¾ the way full of water.
I did not want it to float out of the hole today with the rain.
My arms are very sore today I hope to never do that job again.

Give the clay a really good soaking, then give it a half a day or so to dry a bit. The clay will be much easier to dig through! Ask an Alabama boy how I know...
