 Setting a new postal box post is today's project. Digging a hole at the street side is not my idea of a good time. The traffic is relentless and often inattentive. One step at a time is the motto.

 First the placement calculations, the x-y plane of the earth if you will. X marks the spot. The depth of the hole will give the the height or z position of the post box. The tolerances are +/- 1 inch in the distance from the street and +/- 2 inches in the height placement. This is interestingly difficult for a first time hole digger like me.

I really wish I could just weed my flowers.

  1. Your grandfather would have called the task as having to dig a half-deep hole. Post hole digger?
