A backhoe breaks apart secant pile guide walls used to help keep pile casings aligned properly. This is being done to allow backfilling and grading ahead of the 2014 holiday work moratorium.

This picture of a tree being torn up, a tree that I've looked at every day for the past three years, it's a bit weird.
This backhoe was my grandfather's constant companion when I was growing up. It didn't just dig holes; it hauled things, it plowed driveways, it lifted people up to do things up high, and it would almost have been appropriate to have buried it with him. But farmers never wast things, and that would have been a waste he'd never have approved of. So we had a Tonka toy stand-in. This has gone to a new farmer's home, to keep on trucking for another family. I'll miss it, but it's good to know it'll be doing what it was intended to do. I think that's how Grampa would feel too.
Suburban bliss for a contractor: Spouse, 2.5 kids, cat, dog, and a backhoe in the driveway.
Some people take the company vehicle home. I am one of these people. It just happens that my company vehicle is larger than the garage.
There was a time when very few people had snowblowers. The shovelers were envious of these people. Now it seems most of the neighbourhood has snowblowers. So, I upped the ante, always plowing my driveway. I now see the neighbours are hiring plows, too. So, I upped the ante, again, making a large snow pile in my front yard, with a backhoe. If someone else appears with a backhoe, I'm going to get a freakin' CAT 944F (47cu. yd. bucket capacity!) loader to clear my driveway.
I get strange looks all the time. I can't imagine why.
