    Monday morning quarterbacking - 1st time viewer. I think an excavator would have worked and allowed you to separate the block from dirt in one move. Now you have to move both again. Old did show a great way not to use concrete blocks.

      An excavator is on the wish list and definitely could be used on a lot of different things around the property for sure! Thanks for your input! Have a great day!

    What a mess. Why had the property sat for so long unkept. You probably have enough blocks to build a large building. Bobcats are really useful and can be used for so many things. It looks like it is the tool you needed.

    • @livingon80

      I believe the owner passed away and the property was too much for the family to keep up with (i feel their pain), but I am not 100% sure.

    I can’t justify owning a skid steer but I rent them when I have projects. I can rent for a week for what a few monthly payments would be. They own the repairs if it breaks down.

      Not really. This property at one time was a tree and plant nursery and the red barn was their storefront with that asphalt being its parking lot.

    how are you going to separate the blocks from the dirt?

    • @livingon80
      @livingon80  Год назад

      I think we might dig a big hole with the backhoe and push the loose fill in..basically trade the loose fill for fresh dirt. Then I can use the dirt to fill in holes around the property without worrying about blocks and boards.
