Diggin\' dirt(or rather, mud!) in PA!

pequeajim, thought of you last night and your slogan....had a 3' high pile of clean fill left over from the excavation for our home addition that we were saving thinking there may be some settlement around the foundation. Well, it turns out we did not need it and the contractor was ready to rent a Bobcat for $150 or so and dispose of the dirt/mud pile.....put on the bucket last night and 3 hours later it was gone. I was wishing I had a dump trailer!!! Had to carry the fill apprx. 40 yards to an area where I could dump it permanently. Contractor came by bright and early today and was stunned to see the pile gone and that the little green tractor could handle that! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif About the only clean spot on her when I was done was the seat area covered by my rear end!

So, diggin' mud in Lycomng County!

Man, I LOVE to hear that kind of stuff. I can't believe all the things that I can now do in my yeard without renting equipment!

Here's a picture of a project I am working on right now; ripping out briars, barbed wire, logs, junk and nasty stuff. I pile it up and then burn a little at a time.

The little green machine doesn't miss a lick!

Then I move a little at a time to a smaller burn pile and have a marshmallow roast! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That is some pile - your plan is to invite all the neighbors for a roast? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Where are you at in Lycoming County? I grew up in Ralston and lived and worked in Williamsport. Always loved that area.

We are in rural Pennsdale...LOL!! It's all rural!....smack in the middle of a 127 acre xmas tree farm...yep, get a fresh one each year! We don't own the farm, just the 9 acre homestead..farm goes up for auction on the 19th. Love the Ralston area...hiked the Old Loggers Path many times...now we get together on an annual basis for a long week-end of camping in the "ghost town" of Masten. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I pulled up a straight sidewalk right after I got the 425 and dug out for a landscaper and I to put in a cobblestone walk and some plants.

Here's the way it looks so far with some wiring and a bit more mulch to lay down.

I'll add some colorful stuff in the spring.

Nice job on the walkway. I need to do something like that at my house. I'm sick of the cobblestones I have.
