Now that the politics are behind us ( for now ), life can go on.
And so here it is...

This goes into the post hole subtopic thread in the off-the-grid series...
After a lot of thought, I bought some PVC pipe last night. Plus some fittings.
If I hadn't mentioned, I got my generator. I've got all of my drill bits ready. I need a grounding rod for the generator, plus I need some oil, as it is a 2 stroke engine.
The plan for digging is flexible. It largely depends upon how things go out there. I could go with shallow holes, or as deep as 29 inches. I feel some confidence that things will go well, as the hole could be shallow, and the idea could still work. I am a little bit worried about the strength of the PVC, though. May add some rebar, but haven't decided on that yet.
If the drilling is pretty easy, I may go the full 29 inches. If not, I may go only about 8 inches or so. That's a lot of flexibility, I'd say.
Nearly all the purchasing is done. Almost ready to make the trip.
