Excavating Under a House

This video shows what a house looks like when you jack it up a few inches and tear off the basement walls.

I use the mini excavator to break up and pull out the foundation, and begin digging out the soil under the house.

Now just watch, some dough head will comment 'Al, you let the wedge bar fall on the crescent wrench when you were changing the bucket! You should be more careful!' etc. It's only a matter of time, judging from some of the moronic comments some people make. Of course, that same dough head won't bother to read any of this text! ;)

Enjoy! I'm taking the weekend OFF for a change!
