How's this for a "Tonka Truck?" Bet your grand kids would like to play around with this one!
Here are two of the smaller trucks waiting to be loaded with clean material to haul from #11 to #9
I took this pic of a bury pit on #12 so you can see how far down the excavator is reaching. The arm of this machine will dig almost 25 feet down and you can see he has it about half way down.
Another angle of the same hole. This entire hole was filled in 1 day with strippings
Here's a pic from the new back tee on #9. Don't worry, I'll move the tree.
The contractor is moving fast on the drainage. Here is a pic of some newly installed bunker drainage.
Part of the whole project is making an "as built" map of where things are. Here is one of the contractor's crew marking drain lines with a GPS unit called a "Trimble." It will be accurate within two feet so we will have a very precise record of where things are.
He also marks where the new drainage basin are being installed.
Here's an example of one of the big challenges with installing the new drainage system. The contractor has to negotiate all of the existing irrigation system stuff. Well, at least he's trying to.
Another challenge is to lower pipes that are now close to the surface once the dozers shape the new contours. Here we are lowering this pipe 10" so that when we aerify, we don't poke it full of holes.
Check this out! Now that's what I call a stump.....
More to come later in the week. Thanks for checking it out.
