Default Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)

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.

Sorry about beating you to the punch line man, the videos you uploaded last night really gave me a good look at how big the deer really is.

Are you not worried about all the dirt getting in to the screw drive on those dump units All the fin dust would acted like sand paper on them even if you cover them in grease of thick oil.
