How to Use a Post Hole Digger

Tool Tuesday - Post Hole Digger

**** Always check with your city before digging! *****

If you're planning to build a fence, you start with the posts.
To set the posts, you will first need to dig the holes with a post hole digger.
A pry bar of some sort is also helpful for breaking up the soil, and getting through rocks.

Dad, can you do a video on house maintenance items for a new home owner? Changing furnace filter, cycling water softener, cleaning dryer vent piping, winterizing house (sump pump, outdoor water faucets), cleaning gutters, etc

8:10 "It's a nice feeling when you finally get it out of there"

For some reason this line made me think of the Mr. Rogers outro song.
Maybe you remember this one... I'll put the lyrics below so we can sing along:

_It's such a good feeling, _
_To know you're alive!_
_It's such a happy feeling, _
_You're growing inside!_
_And when you wake up, ready to say:_
_"I think I'll make a snappy new day!" _*_snap_*_ _*_snap_*
_It's such a good feeling, _
_A very good feeling, _
_The feeling you know, _
_That I'll be back_
_When the day is new, _
_And I'll have more ideas for you, _
_And you'll have things you'll want to talk about, _
_I will too._ 😊

_You always make each day such a special day! You know how: by just your being you._
_Only one person in the whole world like you: That's you yourself._
_I'll be back next time. Buh-bye!_

You are the best, we send you greetings from Mexico🇲🇽🇲🇽🥰

I have a suggestion for a new series for your channel, do a "dad to the rescue". Where you select a follower who has a simple need, like patch a hole in a wall, or clear an area to start a garden, and go to that follower and do the task with them. It could be an instructional video where you also get a chance to help someone do something they didn't know how and would have had to pay someone else to do it with them.

I'm a single mom. I just moved to a new area and I have so many projects I want to do. Its tough because there isn't anyone around to help me.

A friend gifted me a small shed a few weeks ago. I bought lumber and built a deck to build the shed on. Problem is I'd never done any thing like that before and didn't have the sense to level the ground and build the deck in the spot it would go permanently. Now its too heavy to move and its not level where it is. I can't even lift it a tiny bit. So its just been sitting there while I try to brainstorm a solution that doesn't involve dismantling it to move it. I just need someone to help me lift it up but there isn't anyone who can help me.

I know there so many people out there who probably have similar situations like me. If only there was someone around to lend a helping hand. I think "dad to the rescue" would be a great addition to your channel.

Wow Dad, thank you so much, once again even when you teach something I think I know I manage to learn a few tricks that would’ve saved me a lot of trouble in the past.

[jaxper]

Hey Dad, can you look into getting a little microphone for when you're far away from the camera? I'll still watch either way, just thought it might be a good investment for future videos!

[Sabrina-qtcm]

Thank you so much for be' here, i Am Italian but i can understand you. I never see my dad before, my grandpa never want that i want to try to help him. With you I can. So... realy realy thank you.
P.S sorry for my bad English hehe

[darioalmeidaa]

Thank you, i dont heally need to dig holes on my back yard but I have learned a lot from your videos and you lift my mood up. Thank you so much. Blessings

I never realized I didn’t know how to tie a tie until my husband’s wake. My daughter and I searched Pinterest for instructions but found them confusing. There was a flood of tears realizing how much my grandson, then 12, may never learn because his grandfather was gone. ( The undertaker was kind enough to show him how it is done.) I have since cried for myself, not knowing how to do housey things and not being to afford to pay anyone to solve simple problems. Some folks have come forward to help with a few things but It gets old and people are busy, especially these days. I so need to replace a tub faucet and have no idea how. And I’m afraid to damage something that will just make the situation worse if I try. I am so thankful to have found this channel. Widows without male relatives need this information as well as young men. Thank you for doing this.
