I asked my buddy at work the other day if he could build me a trenching bucket for my backhoe this Saturday at work and I would pay him. Well this is what he built yesterday and today on company time with the permission of the boss (well sort of). It just happened that they were in a little lull at work waiting for parts and pieces for various jobs to come in. He cut out a few pieces here and there and the boss said keep going as were slow right now. He finished it today and I brought it home. I ran out of spray paint so it will have to be finished a little later.

I know what a six pack is...

But I am not going to admit I know what that thing in the picture is...

...It'll break my heart to do so... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I need a friend like that... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Well that's sure nice work, but a 24" trench? I thought you were going to say 12" or 16" at the most!
That guy is very talented.

I think my 24" bucket ran about 80 six packs .... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Great negotiating skills! I attached a picture for comparison in case that helps you. I could get a better one empty to illustrate the teeth if that would help you.

This makes me wonder...

Is beer a rare commodity up in Nova Scotia?
OR
Does your buddy just <font color="pink">love</font> beer? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It's nice to have such generous and talented friends, not to mention the boss! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
That is a good looking bucket, and, you can't bet the price!

How many six packs would he charge me to build me a BH? (I'll buy my own bucket) /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Good looking work-for sure.

Nice looking bucket.

How bout I give you a 12 pack for it and that will double what you spent for it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I'll even pay the shipping too.
