@dmaxdowork Rookie?? it is obvious you do not know what you are talking about! The box is riding on hard pan, that can not be dug with a bucket untill you break it with a pecker, so it is a safe hole! Also, I am picking pipe from 14' above my head, so they will get a little rocky on the way down. I would really like to know what you are capable of. 15 years of digging under my belt, and have never had 1 person caved in on, injured in any way under my bucket, or an OSHA violation!

It is that deep because it is the end of a long run, and it dumps into a pump station.

Hey scabby bastard. What local u belong to? Do you know your pipe layers wife name so u can bring her flowers? Your pants aren't even in osha compliance. Where's the cat 245 so you can get that knife edge 6' lower so its at least to the mans hard hat. Oh and you don't need to pecker for that.

Dude, WAY illegal with OHSHA! This job site would get 3 major violations to the tune of 200k in fines.
