Post hole postmortem
The thread kind of got off subject and I wanted to let you all know that the problem of how to cut up the old well is solved.
I took a common thing from all the replies, which was hot air, and figured that hot air rises which got me to thinking about levitation. I tried to just pump hot air into the well, but it cooled off too fast. I then tried helium and it worked, but the well shot out of the ground too fast. I couldn't stop it and now it is on the way to the moon, a small family of gophers that were in the well now going into space!
Still stuck on the levitation idea, I dropped a magnet on a string to the bottom of another well and it worked. The well rose slowly, came totally out, then slowly floated to the ground on its side. Didn't break a thing since it is all air. Knowing that the well had a lot of moist air in it, I took my aerosol can of Freez-It and frosted up the point where I wanted to cut. A quick slice with an ordinary laser pointer expanded the well and it cracked on the spot! I was so happy that I cut up the whole thing!
Well, my wife came out the back door, tripped on one of the holes, threw them all into the lake. I don't have to explain what happened next.... yup, Whirlpools!
Now I have a new problem. How do I get rid of all the kids on their jet skis?
