For the wind turbine project, first I dug the 4 1/2 foot hole to monitor the water table. I dug it 3 foot wide just in case we could have gone down 10 ft to use a pier (column) foundation base. I had to cut a lot of tree root to get there. Water started to pool at 4 1/2 feet so we decided that a mat (cube) foundation would be better given our shallow water table.

Hi Drew,
Rena told us all about your project. Keep up the good work, we enjoyed your blogs. Gina
Thanks for all the support. I was just wanting to get all the roots out of the way so that if we used a hole digger to go 10 feet I wouldn't have to worry about breaking the thing. But I did find our water table for this part of the year and it's at 4 and 1/2 feet.
Drew
