Doing some dredging work!!
 

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!!

Have fun. Don't hit any powerlines.

Hope there is no DEP guys here.

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

Nothing better then running heavy Eq. on a Sat. morning!! have fun.

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

Sweet! Love heavy equipment with authorization to use it!!!

see if it floats

These are the makings of the next GEICO commercial. (little fiddle music now) lol

I am looking to drill a shallow well in the spring. I may just rent one of those and dig myself a pond instead. :D

Mostly uneventful.

Tore out my fathers pier (he lives next door) and dredged his place out.

Got tons of dredge material to deal with and obliterated a sidewalk but all in all a great day. My biggest complaint is no iPod hookup on the cab!!!

I would demand a discount!! thats :bsflag: hahaha

that video is funny as hell! in a Jeff Foxworthy voice "if you've ever gone water skiing in a pond using a piece of construction equipment ... you might be a redneck!"

oh and you're GF is hot!

That is my daughter. Good little helper. Wish her mother would help out once in a while.

Boy, that's an oops!
But while we are at it, pix of mom!

That video is redneck cool.

That is funny as hell. I was going to jokingly post I bet that is his daughter and now we know it is! LOL:poopoo:

FYI...THEY DONT FLOAT!!:poopoo::eekdrop:

No they don't. We lost one in a swamp to the top of the cab. Took 3 other machines to pull it out:poopoo:

Both of those videos are pure redneck enginuity at its finest! FTW
