That power of the jd just crumbled the rock imagine what a cat would have done haha!! So those piles are gettin screened then? That should keep ya busy for a bit. I would say it will take you years to dig a tunnel with Rc but you've done it in a few months!! Pretty big job you did and now on tail end of it. Pretty impressive Joe!! I hear ya about the knees, we arnt getting old, just starting to show signs of use!! Wearing the paint off. I showed the wife your tunnel project, our new house basement is about 50' from future garage. How nice it would be to undertake that!! You are a bad man for planting that seed!!! Now Im thinking of a nice 6' wide, thick reinforced walkway out to garage, possible future tunnel ceiling��!! Hope ya start getting some warm weather. Anything seeded yet?

I never would've bet money that it would have been this quick & easy... maybe 10hrs a week digging & hauling since Aug 1st - minus all of Oct for harvest. Yes, dirt piles for additional rc activity when tunnel is completed, perhaps before xmas. Then it'll be back to digging out the basement floor 1,5ft deeper... then in 4-5yrs get an RTM with a bigger floor plan -> then I'll need a bigger basement too.

Cooper's tunnel: drill parallel piles spaced 5' apart with cement slab on top, sounds like a perfect plan indeed! I would even make the drive to your house & bring the JD850 & B50 to give you hand with it for a couple months one winter. take the top 24" out & then you could punch the rest out with your D11 What's the soil type in your area?

It was 15C today & maybe 20's tomorrow, but that wind the last couple weeks, that can take a hike! Rule of thumb, never start seeding before April 20th... 3 weeks away yet.
