I started the upload before bed last night, takes several hrs for a couple of vids... been gone since early morning hauling grain... you guys spoiled my thunder.
Like I've already mentioned, last summer's rain every week from spring thaw to fall freezing, I didn't get any dirt hauled out & I am now out of space to do any new digging... everything has pretty much come to a halt with no free space to pile! So I'll pail this small pile up the stairs & out the door & soon start doing some new digging.
This dirt I'm loading into the pails is powder ash dry, to dump the dirt in at the top of pail creates a mushroom cloud of dust to rise above *cough cough*
Reaching down to the bottom to gently place the dirt to minimalize dust has created an interesting challenge to not move the 20L pail with each bucketful. I have less than half inch clearance at the four corners of the excavator bucket. This is pails #14 & 15 and I haven't had a flawless run yet.
Probably have another 10 pails to practice with to clean this up and then dig out this small area that is close to a cu/yd of material.

I haven't done anything with the pup yet, been tinkering with other projects. The GL screwdrive dump has been working great, finished backfilling the wall a few weeks ago.
