Last weekend I spent exposing the main power line to our house. I had dig line go through (know before you dig
) and the power runs under the pen and the duck house (I knew that, just wanted to be precise). Didn't know how deep though. Exposing the lines revealed they were 29" deep and dead-on where they were detected. They should cause us no problems T poles will go in 23" and will be far enough away from the line (I exposed it at the point closest to any T poles so I know we will miss it) and the hardware cloth will only go down 12". Filled the hole back in. Tried the crazy chainsaw experiment. Found 2 problems: 1 - the electric chainsaw didn't have a "throttle" - just on or off giving me only downward pressure to use as a control. 2 - it really wasn't going much faster than I could do with my pick so there wasn't much point. So @Amiga, you and your beloved can sleep better - I am going to use a pick. I'll buy a new chain and it will be good as new and we can use it for keeping the trees away from our internet microwave shot (they keep growing in front of it). Wasn't much weekend left and I couldn't see the ducks leaving a small partial trench alone if we did half of it, so we knocked a couple T poles in the ground and called it good.
