Rock. One can only dig down a few inches before one hits a layer of rock.
Bust it up, dig a few more inches, and then another layer.
It's like the shale we had to deal with while building roads in PA. The
cutting edges of the scrapers had to be replaced almost weekly. Once in a
while, there was quicksand under a layer of shale if there was a spring
close by. It's pretty weird to see the dozer pushing you thru the cut start
to sink out of sight.

Because of the soil, or the rocks. Paul? I discovered here in Oklahoma
why there is the word sodbusting. I'd never seen anything like it.
Digging with a shovel is nearly impossible unless the soil is soaked;
then it digs like wet beach sand.

Regarding the fence, voice of experience here... Don't try to be a hero
and dig the holes by hand. Go rent a power auger and save your self
hours of aggravation, especially if your soils are hard or rocky.

an unfinished basement, which is a project I am looking forward to doing.
My first project will be to put in a deck and fence in the backyard.

Thanks for the info. I feel much better about getting a gas home now.
:)
It is a new house, but it is already built, so I can't make any changes
to
it unless I do it myself.

Good point. Mike, if it's a brand new house, go with the in-floor

tubes that use hot water. Heat the water with a boiler. Your dog will

If gas is cheaper, I'm kind of surprised.
Gas is almost 40% cheaper in Upstate NY than electric for heat. The
advantage of electric is that it costs pennies to install and every
room is its own zone. My very personal preference is a gas-fired
steam radiator system. It adds moisture to the air and the radiators
stay warm for a long time.
