1st pic: We tied into a existing development for a new development. The guy in the existing development wanted the bank sloped back more. So the developer paid us to do it. That is just the BC for the asphalt. The pavers are coming soon to lay down the wearing.

2nd pic: This is a swale that we did behind a couple lots for a development. Kinda hard to see since it is grown up. Notice all the rocks on the left hand side. Can anybody guess where they came from ??

3rd pic: Placing stone in the footers.

We had to 2 foundations to do right next to each other. The first one had very little rock. The 2nd was all rock. We rented a Volvo EC240 with a NPK GH-10 hammer.

I can not get past the first picture. It is something that drives me to distraction. Machine with hydraulic attachment in the air and no operator in the seat.!!!!

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to mention that.

In the picture where you're hammering out the ledge, just wondering how you use the lazer/level...on a pole or stuck to a different machine?
thanks

Not bad, the rock was pretty slabby. That hammer was undersized for that machine.

We use a pole mounted target. I have no experience with the stick mounted targets. I am not sure how well they would hold up digging in rock.

Rino,
The one that I have you have all you can do to get the magnetic mount off of the stick. I have used it digging in rock with no problems with it moving.
