Problem solving with a backhoe

[oldpilgrim]

Over the years I've found a backhoe can be much more useful for things other than just digging holes.

I have been doing some renovations for a while and needed a rolloff for the stuff that needed to go away during the reno.

The company I rented the rolloff from says I can't put 'appliances' in it and I had a 20 year old kitchen stove that needed to go away. I took care of the stove the same way I took care of a microwave last year, when I was doing some other demo stuff.

What I started with was a 20 year old kitchen stove.

After a little time with the bh, I have something no one could ever call an appliance. Yes, it's all in the picture, nothing has been removed. I grabbed it with the bucket and the thumb, squeezed, crushed and shook it like a dog would shake a rabbit it had caught. It's surprising how little there was left after a few minutes of 'work'.

Most fun I've had for a while.

I wish I had a video of my stepson taking care of my neighbors boat with our excavator. He had fun.

I'll keep the thought tucked away. I think I'll be using mine to demo a deck soon.

Looks just like a pile of trash now!:thumbsup:

Around here you'd put it on the curb and it would be gone in the morning. Not as fun, though.

Odd, I can't see them on my PC but can on my ipod.

Don't know what she was so pissed about. You probably had to do all the repair work and fixing and not her. LOL
