Is the bucket elevator something you made from scratch? Where did the buckets come from?

I've been thinking for awhile about building a dirt leg to elevate dirt out of my basement, trucking it out has gotten too boring. And after a long day on the farm the last thing I want to do is more physical exercise walking up/down stairs b/c I can't see where the trk goes anymore from the basement. I want to just sit & dig.
