Basketball project, part 2

Remember the basketball hoop delivery?  Well, it rained every day for a month after it was delivered.  Finally, Mike was able to start digging the hole.

 Sarah and Marty supervised the measuring.

The hole had to be four feet deep, so Sarah made a good measuring stick.

 Finally, the hole is deep enough, and Form #2 is perfectly level (Form #1 had a design flaw). 

Time to throw a pile of dead birds in the pit and start concreting.  (Marty's boyfriend woos her with these gifts, but she rejects them.  We decided to bury them in concrete, Jimmy Hoffa style.)  The concrete portion is an epic saga, so it requires its own separate blog post, which is coming up next.
