I just remembered the first time I dug as a totally blind person as
attempt to put something together for a project I hope goes off on this
property this summer.
My Uncle needed a 100 foot trench dug because he was installing a
gray water line for the washing machine and bath tub. What he did for
me was to make a frame which consisted of the depth of the trench
which I think was four and a half feet and it was aboujt 2 feet wide.
so that frame was made of furring strips and across the top henailed in
a long cross pieced so when I had the hole deep enough Ilay this frame
down in the hole and the long cross piece keeps it from falling in. I
remember every foot or so I did great with the improvised measuring
tool he built so I could dig blind. the trench was not exactly
straight but I did it all with two shovels one short handled and one
long handled round nosed shovel. L
