Fun math question

[mammabooh]

What are the approximate dimensions of the hole I will need to dig to properly bury varmits on a farm that has not enjoyed the services of a dog within the last 10 years? Additional info that may be needed to answer this question...
bank barn is 38 x 64 feet, two-story shop is 30 x 40 feet, summer kitchen is about 20 x 16, and the garden shed is about 6 x 8 feet. House seems to be relatively varmit-free.

Yeah, I'm just silly and giddy about moving. This question is posted somewhat in jest, but I will most certainly be ready to dispose of those varmits once they wake up in a few weeks! Here are some pics...

Wonderful buildings in great shape.

Critter burying holes--in my opinion----should be deep enough to have two feet of dirt on top of any buried carcass. Away from the buildings and well please.

There may not have been a dog there for ten years, and that means coyotes have had open hunting there. With a few coyotes around you won't need a varmit hole. Also some dedicated soul was there on the lawn mower during most days. Most of those dedicated souls are death on rats. Perhaps you could find someone on here to live there and watch for any stray varmits for free until alls clear. LOL
What a beautiful well kept old farmstead you are going to. Are you happy, or just tickled pink??

Hee Hee...yes, I'm tickled pink. My great grandparents bought the place in 1917. My great aunt was a year old and lived there for the rest of her life. She just passed away last July and was in great health up until the winter of 2006. Until then, she mowed 3 acres of yard, changed her own tires on the mower and lived by herself. Hubby and I would have loved to have bought the entire farm, but it's 102 acres and is well out of our price range. We are buying 10 acres and all of the buildings, though, so we are indeed "tickled pink"!

We were there for 4 hours yesterday and not a single vehicle went by...I'm in love!

If you had that haymow full of quality hay right now you'd be livin in tall cotton till spring. Small squares are selling for about $8 here now and we weren't hurting for hay in our area.

Nope...it's empty except for the neighbor guy's 2 hay wagons.
