The past two weeks were dedicated to ripping up concrete house pads and the asphalt drive-ways. An almighty storm about halfway through with a couple of days of rain.
And an ailing steel beast might’ve slowed progress a bit but today everyone is in fine form.
The orange plastic and metal parts are being loaded for taking away …
This photo from inside, through glass. I love that moment of ‘thought’ as the operator lines up its mouthful with the waiting truck.
Then the load needs patting down so the truck’s dust cover can be drawn over.
Never seen this kind of scoop before, have you? Then you know what’s coming!
Make sure you have the sound on so you can imagine how a rock is sieved out from the soil.
