Gold Member Username: Matt12490California USA Post Number: 2369 Registered: May-05 | Lol. Yes. My friends and I usually hang out at this park which is nearly surrounded by a big hill of fields with grasses and bushes. We decided we wanna dig a tunnel leading to an underground room. We just started yesterday, got about 6 feet deep and will be starting the tunneling soon. I know this sh1t is hella random, but does anyone know anything about this? I know for the room, it will need supports but got any ideas or advice? Google didn't help too much. |

Also 3/4 ply walls and ceieling. Its not worth the risk. You would be better off buying an old camper and parking it there. http://aolsearch.aol.com/aol/search?query=trench+collapse&invocationType=spellin g |

There are about 30 of them in the parking lot in packs of 5 just waiting to be used for manual labor. Same for other places around the US? |

Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 6519 Registered: Jun-06 | Our production facility at the truss plant I work for is completely Guatemalan. They all have out of state tags on their vehicles and the local cops don't bother them because of all the paperwork that follows deporting them. Unless they commit a crime they look the other way. They are great workers, that is until they become "Americanized". They can afford to work for so little because of the shared housing expenses. 10-15 ppl per apartment and nothing but rice and beans=tons of saved money. Some of them spend it on cars and gold but most of them pocket the excess for 5-7 years and go home a king. All they need to show is proof of a temporary work visa and our company could care less if they've been "illegal" for several years or more. They also flood the car washes here as well as lanscaping and general construction labor. It will spin out of control VERY shortly.  |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 2398 Registered: Mar-06 | From LK posts of Stupid..... "Buxton, NC : A man died on a beach when an 8-foot-deep hole he had dug into the sand caved in as he sat inside it. Beach-goers said Daniel Jones, 21, dug the hole for fun, or protection from the wind, and had been sitting in a beach chair at the bottom Thursday afternoon when it collapsed, burying him beneath 5 feet of sand. People on the beach, on the outer banks, used their hands and shovels, trying to claw their way to Jones, a resident of Woodbridge, VA, but could not reach him. It took rescue workers using heavy equipment almost an hour to free him while about 200 people looked on. Jone s was pronounced dead at a hospital. " |
