A few years ago I poured this little pad for our portable basketball system. Now we are installing an in-ground system, but we need a hole. After spending myself with hand tools, it was time to admit that I am too old for that sort of thing. So I rented this little jack hammer and used some child labor.
Everyone got a turn from Alan to Stephen. Then, I took over and did the real work. Even with this power tool, I was able to produce a little sweat.
In case you thought OSHA wouldn't like me doing this work with kids playing tetherball so nearby, here is one showing a little girl using the jack hammer in flip-flops.
More than one person had asked me how thick the concrete was. I assured them it could not be more than three and a half inches thick. As you can see in this picture, I was off by 5 inches. Without that jack hammer, I would have never made it.
The hole is about 38 inches deep.
