[Shop-talk] 1/2 socket drive adapter for power auger?

[Steven Trovato]

Are we talking about rocks that could conceivably be dug up with a 
backhoe?  If you do that and end up with a hole that's too big and 
deep, you can fill in the extra with gravel.  If we are talking about 
solid rock, like bedrock, there are ways to attach the footing to the 
rock.  Google that and you will find a bunch of ideas.  If this 
operation requires a permit, I would consult with the building 
inspector.  He will have ideas on the right way to do it.  His way is 
automatically the right way and the way that he will sign off on!
