Got cracking @9am this sunny morning, I tried to keep track the #loads in the 1st hour, but lost count...14 - 16? 4hrs later there's a big pile of dirt out there... ofcourse I didn't think to take a pic before I started this morning. :rolleyes:

Clouds are rolling in now, lunch break over, better get back 'er to get as much done before the waterworks start.

Re: LilGiantsConstrCO
 

Never thought looking at dirt would be so satisfying :). Lol!!! Cut out the corner of house and it looks like a 1:1 road project underway :)

Re: LilGiantsConstrCO
 

After looking at dirt for 7hrs today, I'm kinda of sick of it Coop. :eek: My feet are tired & my butt is sore, lost count the # of trips up/down stairs... all good exercise though & I'll sleep good tonite. :D

Got rained out an hour ago... it's calling for snow overnight. :(

Not sure if half the pile is gone already, but it'd be close. :)

I Love it, its so cool how you can go from inside the house to outside, and have fun doing so. :bounce:

Re: LilGiantsConstrCO
 

its a good thing you have a tunnel project to do. could you imagine if you had these sized machines when you began the dig and how much more they would have moved.... Then again, they wouldn't have fit down there till now! :)
I'm loving that new ADT !

Re: LilGiantsConstrCO
 

Joe, congrats on the new B50, what a machine. That looks to be just the ticket for moving more material out...You sure got lucky on the overhead clearance, I guess overloading the box and mounding material over the sides will be taken care of on the way out? :)

Re: LilGiantsConstrCO
 

The drive out is getting a bit long Brian as the roadway is getting narrower all the time with bigger equipment, kinda makes for slow uneasy navigating not to rub the wall or fall off the edge... I'll get what loose dirt there is out of the way, then tear everything out & rebuild it with 1/2" sheet @ 24 inches wide... most of the roadway currently is only 16 inches with most of it 3/8 sheet & some is 1/4, which was fine for the Tamiya trks.

I wish I had this JD850 when I started Mario, I would have done zero hand digging! :D Yes, thank goodness for the tunnel project or I'd be just about left with nothing to do... I'll be a few yrs at that before wondering what to do next for a dirtwork project. :thinking:

Thanx Jason, it's a mighty hauler alright. I knew the clearance was gonna be close, fortunately I didn't have to take a grinder to the B50 to make it fit. :)

Re: LilGiantsConstrCO
 

That's always a plus. :)

Re: LilGiantsConstrCO
 

Thursday morning there was still a few inches snow on the ground, but it warmed up fast to 15 before noon, such a bright warm sun that the pile was dry enough to work with the dozer by 5pm!

WOW what a great day yesterday, didn't last though. :( rain overnight, heavy fog all day today, snow for the weekend. :(

Re: LilGiantsConstrCO
 

When are you going to start using the big D9?

Re: LilGiantsConstrCO
 

Don't know, no plans to use it anytime soon.

Well the snow forecasted for the wkend didn't happen, so I got more dirt hauled out Saturday nite & Sunday.

Another roadway collapse on Sunday, this could've been much worse than it was. :eek:
Zipped in a bunch of 1" screws, plus strung a guide line from the ceiling for added support.

Re: LilGiantsConstrCO
 

Oh man that's why the frost laws are on he in mi. Time for new roads cool pic I really like that dump truck

Re: LilGiantsConstrCO
 

mate that was close , lucky save.
might need to look at roading upgrades with all that extra weight.

Re: LilGiantsConstrCO
 

Glad to see the new truck didn't suffer the same fate as on the last road failure :eek:
Sad to say but another scale factor achieved! Starting to resemble the condition of Canada's roads and infrastructure. Under rated old roads but hauling max loads ! :lol::)

Not saying your worksite is in disarray Joe, just kinda reminds me of the roads here in Ontario right now. Lol

Re: LilGiantsConstrCO
 

You got to get on those highway inspectors they not doing their darn job

Re: LilGiantsConstrCO
 

soon your gonna need a road tax or haul permits to get money for road improvement lol

Re: LilGiantsConstrCO
 

Guess this winter has been hard on them Canadian roads!!! Lol!!! You might have to build a on site concrete plant!!
