That looks like a real man size post hole digger

Great to see your progress Mrs. V and Guys.  Please keep us posted and keep the pictures coming.

Thanks for posting this

Great start, Take lots of pics.

Are you guys building during the week or just on the weekends?

Did the post hole digger ever "Grab" and give the boys a ride?

Any video of that rig in action?  I'd sure hate to grab a boulder with that.

we're building after work and on weekends. we plan on doing as much as possible this way and then taking two weeks vacation to dry in before hurricane season. (we're on the texas coast). yeah, that digger was something else. it was a much bigger deal than we had first thought it would be. no problems till the LAST HOLE hit concrete and some old lava rock. it took some excavating, but we were able to stay on schedule.  it cost $60 a day. well worth every penny!!!

That looks to be one rude dance partner to hang on to.But it beats many of the options

You have figured out that a picture must have a home on the web before you can post it to something like this?   You do have to post some sort of URL.  It only took me months to figure this out, and to learn the HTML (now forgotten) for putting something on line.

TinyURL will work (only if there's a home on the web?).  As will a web site through your ISP or whatever (fewer and fewer of the free ones around, though).

What John posts on the pictures page counts as a home on the web as well.

You don't have to post a whole page.  In Internet Explorer, right-click on the picture, select "properties," and use the URL at the bottom of that.

I've had problems with tinypic once in a while also but have an extension on Firefox that easily lets me get the picture location - that brought it up at a different address.  You may be able to right click and get the properties to find the correct address but I only seem to have the problem once in a while.  I have found that if you  resave it to tinypic and use the new address it will sometimes work.

Tinypic's parent company, photobucket, is a good place to post pictures such as these, you can create albums and the html code is automatically put under the pictures for you to cut and paste.  I'm not sure how tinypic actually works since we just use our ebay album for any other pictures we need to post.

Right-click and properties worked on that x picture.

I didn't realize it ever did.

i go to tinypic, download the pic then copy and paste onto my message. then glenn informed me of the insert image icon. sometimes it works, and sometimes you end up with nothing.if i use preview, should it show the pic, or the url?  

[Daddymem]

This is the format for your first picture (I removed the first and last bracket so the code shows up and doesn't function):

img]http://tinypic.com/4t5xye[/img

You should be able to right click on the image in tinypic and copy that address, then paste it in between the img tags.

Looks like the image tag got reversed in this one:

If it works properly, preview should show the pic.
