Nac, what kind of drill pattern are you using in that trench for splitting?

If we have a free face we use this partern at a 30 - 45 degrees towards the free face so we can pop the rock foward. If there is no free face you do the same but 45 degreed away from each other to create a wedge to pop up generlly the hole spacing is 10x the bit diameter, but everything varies based on the rock and conditions. I just think I gave away my trade secrets.

Thanks again Nac.

What's going on no body is working today? it is 10 degrees out right now. What about the Conex show Wed. 12:00-8:00 and Thu 10:00-6:00 when do you guys want to meet? I am going out now to try to collect some money, pull a can full of concrete, and stop and see a couple site supers to see if i can get some roll-off work will be back after lunch.
