Yair . . . Colorado Digger. Thanks for picture, sorry for delay in getting back and acknowledging. Please excuse my ignorance but what I see is a very nicely made concrete drainage flume, what actually is its purpose?

Cheers.

I am planning on getting rid of both. They are worn out and need too much help. My t600 needs a camshaft, and on a 444 it's not worth it. The t800 needs a inframe and a new box. So I have a good offer on a package deal to sell both, but I may pull the rock box of the 6 first.

Here are a few more shots. Loading out, processing base and the bottom of the dig for the debris flow. It had 5/10's of class six all the way down so it has been some work getting it right. I was happy they hit 99% on it yesterday. For Scrub.. This Debris flow structure is basically intersecting a natural drainage, down below there is going to be a house, so they are building this to divert any massive storm event. You can also look this up un Wikipedia-Debris flow.

Looks good man. I miss doing real job like that just not the money. Now I just go out and a hole size, grade, and ETC doesn't matter. Just got to get all the contamination out. Heck I haven't ran a machine other them a 3" trash pump in over a month.... Boring.... I miss the smell of diesel and dirt in the morning.

Here are a few pictures. We are not working any more Saturday's this year. We have been doing 70 hours a week since September so everybody needs a break. Our job is moving along well and we have a few other smaller projects so things are going well.

Thanks for the update C D glad you have plenty of work. I thought I would see more white stuff on the ground there. It won't be long and you will have plenty, me thinks.

Finally finished one job tore the house down and dug the basement. The concrete fellow never seems to get back to finish, I have all the dirt that I had to have the excavator there for to place, done. Moving to another job have a corn crib and a small shed to remove, then 50- 60 loads of concrete to remove,. Part of it will be used to stabilize the river bank, by a cabin has to be placed with the excavator.

Progress Report

The weather has been super cold. It has been between -10f and -20f. We have had quite a bit of snow as well, so we are staying plenty busy. Just trying to keep picking away at it. Our fuel supplier got a bad batch of #2. The new Volvo finally froze up yesterday. We ended up calling the fuel wagon and having him suck the bad fuel out and pump us with pure #1. Seems they are running 2% soy additive to meet a biodiesel mandate here in Colorado. The fuel is just the chitz, looks like a hi vis lime safety vest. All of our Dyed tractor fuel is 50% blended and we add our own additive to it and we really did not have any trouble with it.

About the only good thing Bio diesel, is it keeps the injector pump repair man in business and busy. Bio if in something that is being used all the time isn't quite so bad, if you leave the machine sit a while, you better plan on pump work. To me it seems the government is pushing this to down our throat.

Looks like the winter fight to keep things moving is in full swing, for you.
