let me say, between groans that this week we did another 45 holes in the lava, and are completing the 3 acres fenced. i am embarrassed to say, after asking here, we decided to go ahead and try the rock auger that home depot claims to have. you know the story, "if it seems too good to be true..." well, 200 dollars thrown away, we got 2 holes with it, it jumped all around. possibly if you have dirt, it might lift out field stones, but home depot swore it was a rock drill.... NOT!
anyway, puna rentals they have the air driven rock drill, mike ran the hammer, i ran the shop vac on my hands and knees and pulled out all the bigger little rocks that went in the holes. it started pouring rain, and i will testify to lava being acidic at the end of the day my hands were bright red and the skin has finally stopped sluffing off.... so, if you have alot more money than time or are alot younger than this old gal, find a fence guy! lol
