JCM 9,040 #1 Posted June 24, 2023 Have 3 projects going at the moment. First is trying to get the stairs done for the addition, second installing 51'' frost posts for an addition off of the 2 car garage and third relocating the fire pit. Rented the Excavator for 1 week because of the weather this year it has been tough to have anything go on schedule. It has been since the late 70's and early 80's that I have been in the seat of a backhoe. Operated a 580 case for a short time in the plumbing trade and felt good to get in a newer more comfortable machine. A bit of a learning curve but feeling more comfortable. My hat goes off to all equipment operators for their skills needed particularly when next to an open trench and working close to buildings. Kubota was delivered on Wednesday and finished this morning and will be picked up on Wednesday. Those 2 machines worked well together, what one didn't do the other did. 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 66,312 #2 Posted June 25, 2023 Looks excellent Jim! IMHO that trench is neater than many excavator operators with experience. What's the size of the addition off the garage there? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCM 9,040 #3 Posted June 25, 2023 12' wide x 18 to 20' length.Not 100% sure on the length yet because of the existing gable end on the garage.Trying to stretch it as long as possible and keep a decent pitch on the metal roof. Will be slight at best. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
