Making Progress

Pulling up some big rocks! I got a big boulder near the wall that I've been digging around for the last 1.5 hrs and it's not loosened up any yet. Gonna have to start screening again soon, getting to quite a pile down below.

This particular dirt hasn't seen the sun in over 80yrs, it's just really dry heavy clay! It doesn't take much water to soak it up, but it has to be a slow trickle or it'll just run off.

Half my farmland is like this soil, get the rain at the right time & I can grow a bumper crop on just a an inch of moisture... although too wet or too dry & it'll be disasterous.

Some winters I have seen frost in the bsmt, but its mild weather this yr.. so far

what is the project your doing

[LilGiantsConstrCo]

I would think it'd be obvious :)... I'm making my basement bigger... digging down the last of the south wall. Which then I will crib with PWS 4x4's & 5/8 sheet. Then backfill the air gap.

dont u have any scale TNT for the boulders lol

Leimbach has one for their 922 model (my Cat colored hoe), but from what I hear thru the grapevine, it's durability isn't very good. Due to the vibration of it it destroys itself quickly and is in need of regular repair. Costly little bugger too.

And chatting with other skilled tradesman who make these models, they thought such a device a poor idea for a scaled model as it might destroy the model too with too much use.

I try to make one myself without any success.

@LilGiantsConstrCo Yes, sir. Do they make such a thing for the scale versions?

Same as always, Cannon Powershot A540.

I went shopping Boxing Day (that's a perfect word for that day) & all the Go Pro camera's were sold out. I did manage to score a 32 gig memory card for half price. :) Going back to the city next week, I'll try to get a Go Pro then. ;)
