Greetings guys , hope this is in the right place - I live on acreage and going to be do various jobs around the property - ie digging dam deeper - flattening out areas and so forth -- one of the things i will be doing is to dig out a swimming pool ( above ground that i will partially put in the ground - now - power comes into the property via poles - and about 100 meters ( sorry im a metric boy ) from house it goes under ground - now presuming it does not go directly to power box - how would you guys go about locating the cable - perhaps use of metal detector ??
second question- we have a creek running through our property ( permanent creek ) and water is about knee deep in some places and sand in others -- i want to get onto the sand and dig out a water hole for the kids to swim in - is there any issues i should know about - such as getting the digger stuck ? - would a photo of the creek assist in letting you guys give a more accurate answer ? ( can post if needed ) will be using river rock to make stable once hole is dug
Excavator is a Komatsu PC45 4.5 tonne excavator
any advice other than telling me to get someone else to do it is welcome !
