Methane: In the beggining

My brothers and i decided we wanted a renewable, burnable fuel source. After looking at hydrogen and ethanol that either ended up a total stuff ups or decided it was not worth the effort to make we turned to methane a by product and does it burn.

I started by digging a hole.
When the dirt is hard and you're digging with a crow bar and shovel this takes a while, like a year with a few accidents along the way.

Utensils were invented to asist in the shaping of this hole for our use. finally we ended up with a hole 1400 deep and 1000 in diametre. And that was the easy bit.
