You may or may not know about the US law requiring you call for utility locating before you do any excavation. The pictures below are a result of a guy using a post hole digger with out calling for "locates" and he hit an underground, high-pressure cross-country gas pipe. He was never found. Two homes were destroyed. Thanks to Iceman for sending ConstructionSpace these photos.
