Doing some dredging work!!
 
1 Attachment(s)
Putting a boat lift in and redoing my pier but figured I'd do some preventative dredging before I put the infrastructure back in

Can you believe they just rent these things to anyone??

I couldn't believe it. Just called them, said I need a long reach excavator for a residential project and they said "sure, ill drop it off Friday "

Ya, renting heavy equipment is the best. I thought the same thing when I rented a 20 ton Taylor lift truck. Man you can do some damage with one of those hydro hoes, have fun!!

Got all my permits. Maintenance dredging in a man made canal is a rubber stamp affair.....

I'm on the local wetlands board so I was sure to get the permits

Cool, keep some more pictures of you during the process. You will be able to dig it deep with an arm that long.
