okay I think I've got my shopping list going well here. I liked those screw deals but doubt that will be available locally, but I'm gonna look. I could order online. I'm still not sure how they hook onto the pipe. will I have to drill holes in the pipe. do I need a special drill bit to drill in these?

I have one of those welded together things that my late husband used to pound metal fence posts in the ground. (like a big pipe with a top and handles) However I'm afraid it might mess up the top of the post such that I couldn't get a cap on it.

I'm curious about using the hose in the pipe to wash away the dirt, I assume the pressure is important. I don't have enough hose to get up to the pond but I could take a bucket of water up there and squirt in with a pressure sprayer. I just doubt that would be the same.

I can't find a link to post a picture. gonna post this and then look around at these options.

Thanks! Lynnie
