Boring, Boring Boring.

What do you do to keep yourself awake while you work?

Nice clean excavation though!

Re: Basement I Dug Today


How big is that hole and how long did it take you to dig it? Did you dig it with an excavator?

Re: Basement I Dug Today


When you dig a basement with an excavator, do you have another machine to push the dirt away or do you move it twice with the hoe? We dont have a track hoe yet, my Dad doesnt see the need for it. We use a John Deere 655c(liebherr) loader to dig basements with and to clear and grade with. I have only been on a track hoe one time and that was very limited.

Re: Basement I Dug Today


average basement...with a 200 sized hoe, you can cast the dirt far enough away from excavation that ready mix trux can get in there
