Have you ever dug a hole by hand or machine in the ground for any reason?

My wife used to call me a hoe because I could dig a hole by hand faster then a backhoe. Cheers and happy weekend!

I use to pour concrete in a hole that I also dug. Does that count?

On summer vacation as a child, I dug holes on the beach with a plastic shovel.

Of course. Example: Fence posts with both a hand tool and a gas-powered drill.

If I tell you, I'll have to kill you. :)

Post holes
Pets who died
Playing in the sand

We drill holes in the ground with a drill during the summer to put concrete morel mushrooms on (they have a piece of wire coming out of the bottom) 

Sure, to plant something, or as in one case, to make a swimming pool.  I got into a lot of trouble about pool hole in my pawpaw's garden. 

 

Yes.

Many - graves, burying feces, compost piles, leach field, wall footing, planting plants

The worst was the hole  I dug for a cesspool - by hand.  It was a little over 6 feet deep,but barely 2-1/2 feet wide.  After the first 4 feet, I had to lay on the ground, lower  myself into the hole - head first - to pull the shovel high enough to get the dirt into a little soup can ... then pull the can out, empty it and repeat.  

i dug a hole with a pickaxe when i was sleeping outdoors, i was thinking of sleeping in the hole to cover myself during winter, but now i dont think it was a bright idea. 

Several times, to bury deceased pets, or anchor clothes hoists. I've also helped excavate foundations for concrete, before my back collapsed.

Yes for a rotary to hang up washing.
