inVent: That Tuesday in July where we hit solid rock for 20 straight post holes with a 2-man auger.
Tell me about it, we hit a seam of solid limestone last fall that bent every post hole digger on the truck. Ended up renting a mini-ex with a hammer attachment for two days, which completely blew the budget. You just eat that cost sometimes because trying to explain "bad dirt" to a client is impossible.

Those machines were built like tanks, even if they did sound like a small plane taking off in the study.
