Default PFB Construction Site
Gonna be a fuuuuuun winter!

Filthy non-used basement room = sandbox for grown-up toys!!


Work tables setup (Bruder Dozer and Ertl 200D)


Paver base sand, pebbles, and top soil.


That's 20 bags of dirt......gonna need more!


Only concern is possible critter infestation with the dirt. Gonna have to find a good treatment that won't do any harm to myself. Open to suggestions.

Hand loaded and dumped all this crap.......I'm tired!

Anytime! Once I have everything setup, I will definitely be hosting a meet. It's a little tight down there but it'd still be a good time.

That cracks me up, good one.

I can't believe you bought dirt Nate. At the very least, mix it all together so you got a task to seperate it again.

Well @ 80 cents per bag it's cheap enough that I don't have to bug some farmer or land owner for it and dig it all up myself. Makes sense to me anyways.

Definitely plan on running some kind of conveyor system to separate dirt/gravel.

Looks like a fine place for a construction vehicle only meet. A few dozers, a couple excavators, a few elevators, some dump trucks and you have the makings of a very fun day Don't forget a bridge for dumping!

Now this is kool!
Since your gunna make a conveyor,could of had a 10yrd load dumped by one of those outside windows,& spent 3 months gitting it in the basement.
Just think of all the camera time there. You could tie up with Joe,do some fancy editing & made it look like Joe's bringing it out & your bringing it in.
Looks good! Can't wait to see it done!

Just out of curiousity,has that room ever had deep water problems??

In the two years I've been living here and the previous owner's 12, there's been no floods. The walls do seep a bit seeing as the house is over 100 years old but nothing major. That's actually why I laid the sand down in the corner with the most moisture.

I'll definitely have you guys over sometime Lynn!

I wanted dirt to play immediately but the window does happen to go to my outside dig area directly......hmmmm

Yea Man! I can see a nice ramp going across that back wall right out the window. Now you need a nice big crane to construct the bridge (ramp).
This has all kinds of potential to become the never ending story.

Travis and Izzy came over this weekend to help initiate the site. Good fun moving dirt around and getting dirt on the toys.

I snapped some pic this weekend and I got a couple pics of my dump truck and loader next to the Vario excavator so you can get an idea of just how big it is.















Thanks again to Nate for having us over, we had a great time.
