Caleb & Ricky digging dirt.

 

Notice how you can see 2 and on the right, 3 blocks that have a coating of some sort on them? We will be filling this, and all the other rooms, with dirt up to the level where the color changes. That's a LOT of dirt!

Hitachi

73 pound Electric Breaker

The worst jack hammer I have rented so far.

Bosch is the best.

 

Caliche is a sedimentary rock, a hardened deposit of calcium carbonate.

 

5/18/2010 UPDATE

 

I have now rented four different Electric Demolition Breakers - jack hammers and

here is my opinion of each:

 

THE BEST

Bosch Brute 60-lb 11304 Electric Demolition Breaker / Hammer

This thing is only 60 pounds and it cracks through all my caliche with

ease and speed. I would say it is about three times faster than the

poorest performing Hitachi.

 

SECOND BEST

Makita 66-lb HM180

Low noise but not as fast as the Bosch.

It's also 6 pounds heavier than my number

one choice.

 

THIRD PLACE

Wacker 60-lb Electric Demolition Breaker

Almost the same breaking rate as the Makita but noisier.

Size does matter. The lighter the tool, for equal destructive

power, the better.

 

LAST PLACE

Hitachi H90SE 70lb. Demolition Breaker Hammer

It's heavy, it's loud and it's slow.

I spent a whole day on a three hour job.

 

Caveat Emptor:

These machines are all rentals with unknown

wear and maintenance records.

If any of these are wrongly rated then

shame on the rental company for not maintaining

their machines and skewing my appraisal.

Natural light is once again visible (albeit up a long way!)

Rowdy was sure he was close to getting a mouse out of this hole he was digging. I never seen anything even close to looking like a mouse, but like I have said Mom and Dad are giving everything to him so I have to humor him and wish him good luck. Besides I really like the look on his face. The lighting is harsh I just liked his look.

Digging for worms!?!

This is the first in a series of illustration i am creating for a the story i am writing about Lucy. The little girl who likes mud & to play outside, bugs & adventure, picking flowers & never wearing shoes. She is also very often inclined to pick her nose!

The city is building a new park here and this digger is clearing the way.

This was in Louisiana when the Ant Lab at LSU was commissioned by a British TV show to dig up a leaf cutter ant nest. This species, Atta texana, is the only one that occurs in North America.

REMEMBERING WHERE THEY PUT THE WINTER SUPPLY

Mid- Spring, lots of digging and planning as well as mistakes were made. What a mess.

Winston and Ben out in the backyard.

Michigan? No, Maryland. Western Maryland? No, the Eastern Shore. Wind was worse in the second Blizzard of 2010, especially over the flatlands of Delmarva where the standard showfall is an inch, gone by noon.

Yours truly: "You've done this before, haven't you, Maurilio?"

Maurilio: "Si, Señor."

Yours truly: "Back in Guatemala?"

Maurilio: "Ay, no, Señor."

I don't know how to drive a car, but I recently learned how to run an excavator...

What would a day at the beach be without digging a hole

Jim and I worked for amost an hour, digging around this huge chunk and hoping it would be a nice agate - unfortunately, it turned out to be only black jasper and may have weighed in well over three hundred pounds - it is still there!
