Nice & big workshop you have joe-so you are building a tunnel. This should be a few years work. By looking at the tunnel size I am assuming that it is 15' from your house and will be 7' tall and 4' wide. Is this correct? Do you have a dig plan that you could share? I didn't think an excavator could dig on a vertical wall. Is there another machine in the plan? Also will you shore up the walls and ceiling with wood, metal, etc.? Will be watching ....

before you start your tunnel have you thought about a concrete slab over it on top of it from garage to the house
to prevent a collapse from weight of snow or animals or atvs etc

I know it some times happens like when I was a kid and dug tunnels in the side of ditches in NMex , a friend parked his bike on top of our fort and the roof came down on the three of us that were inside thank goodness we had room for the dirt and us and everyone got out ok but we never thought about it coming down lol
