Hillside Job
Just for those that don't ever get to play in rock. Things are progressing slowly.

Re: Hillside Job
This is another little project we're doing. It's 65' straight down to the water just past the machine.

Re: Hillside Job
Finally, some pics of the pool job. I notice that there is a swing gate on that tandem. We need one of those really bad on our truck for hauling stumps.

Re: Hillside Job
fh,
Good to see you around. The truck is very heavy It weighs 29,990. empty. With the barn door we use the truck almost exclusively for moving boulders. Sometimes we only can fit 1 or 2 in the truck.

Re: Hillside Job
Looks like a beautiful place to work, Nick.
But all those boulders would drive me crazy! Good to see some progress there. |
