Excavation 5
Here's the 11 questions I posed today. I got half an answer to half the questions.
What do you gentleman expect of your excavator? Do your pool excavations require that fill material be hauled away? How many cubic yards on average? Do your job sites usually allow more than 1 truck to be used to haul fill out? Do you haul fill in a percentage of the time? Do you have your excavator haul in stone for beneath the pool? As a pool company owner, you are standing on site with your excavator who has just unloaded his machine and the tree company has just picked up the last log and chips and left. What do you do from now until the excavation is complete and what do you expect the excavator to do? Do you strip the sod and topsoil and level the excavation area before you dig? Do you just spay paint the shape of the pool on the ground? Do you just put certain points for your excavator to go by? Do you form the shape of your excavation? If you want to look at pool excavation the way an excavator looks at a pool excavation you should be able to explain what I asked in a detailed understandable way. I was interviewing you three to see if I went to work for you thinking you knew what you wanted or I had to hold your hand. I know you weren't thinking in those terms but you might want to look at the questions again before you start up. Thanks for allowing me to participate gentleman.
