Used Backhoe

Posts Tagged ‘house’

My oldest son just turned seventeen years old not long ago. He’s in very good shape for his age. He’s a state champion in wrestling and did quite well in swimming and run cross county, and is training for iron man contest. He also already has 9 credits from community college and is at top 50 of his class. So of course he’s very careful about what he eats, how he looks, and everything.
My daughter who is fifteen and my younger son who is twelve is opposite. My daughter and younger son are perfectly happy to stay home, watch television, play video game, and being on the computer. Also they are quite fond of sweet and junk foods which I try to limit.
My oldest son is always picking on them about this. He has complained that my younger son is getting chubby and my daughter is fat, blaming it on their life style. He also is always saying that if I keep this up, one day one of them will be carried out of their house on backhoe because they’re too fat.
Other day when my sister was here to visit us, my daughter was complaining that mosquito bit her a lot. My son hearing this, he replied “yeah may if you didn’t eat so much sweet, they wouldn’t bother you” This is kind of antic he’d pull off almost every time he open his mouth.
A couple months ago when we were on vacation at beach, my son bought a bodyboard to use at the beach which he offered to let my youngest son try. When my younger son didn’t show any interest, my old son throws a fit and blaming it on everybody encouraging the whole family to live a horrible lifestyle and being lazy. He always does this every time my youngest son doesn’t show interest in physical activity or unusual toys.
He’s also always calling them lazy and say television has rot their brain so much that they have no idea how to live. He also always talk to me about how he’s really convinced that television has fried their brain and point out thing such as how they’d not pay attention to their surrounding until commercial or something. I don’t know if he’s being serious or not, but he do it in a such serious manner that it is scary. He has even asked me to throw television out. Sometime he’d screw television up so it doesn’t work then wait for one of them turn on television and laugh as he watch them getting upset and throw fits.
This is making me so mad; I am getting frustrated with his attitude toward his sibling. I and my husband is always yelling at him about this and he’d just laugh and try to lead us into a argument about if other kids are actually leading a good life style. I don’t know what to do any more, I’m at my wits end.

I am building a garage in central IL (farmland), separate from the house, and I want to create an underground tunnel going from my basement out to my garage.

I was thinking about using a backhoe to dig an enormous trench between the basement and where the foundation of the garage is going to be poured, and actually bury sections of 5-foot diameter steel commercial drainage tunnel that I can acquire through a contractor buddy of mine. I am going to cut a door into the cinderblocks in my basement and run the tunnel through to the garage, where I will have it come up through the floor.

Any contractors out there feel that this might be unsafe? I’m in a very rural part of town, and there aren’t too many strict building codes that I know of that outlaw this.
Thanks for the responses everybody!

I hadn’t thought about the possibility of water getting in there. What if set the 5′ wide drainage tubes on a bed of gravel, and then drilled some small holes into the bottom of the tube to drain any leaks into the gravel. This tunnel will be sealed off from the basement through a door, by the way.

Also, I want to put in the tunnel simply because I think it would be cool and different. I have a backhoe and this is my first building-from-scratch project. This small tunnel wouldn’t see lots of use except for bad weather.

Any more suggestions as to how I can make this work?

I’m interested in purchasing either one because I think it’d be cheaper than just hiring someone, but I don’t know which would be more efficient to get the job done. Can anyone explain how you use them?
I know several people that can do the job, i really want to know which is better for the job, the one with the flat bucket thing or the one with the scoop. This is a piece of equipement that will be used for many many other things on a large piece of property out in the middle of nowhere. I’ve done my research on the prices of them, I’m not worried about the price of the machinery. Thanks.

This weekend I have a backhoe guy coming and will run a a new sewer line from my house to the main sewer because the clay pipe has collapsed. iI only plan on doing about half of the line to cut down on expense. I plan on using the rubber “boots” on both ends to convert to 4″ plastic. any tips from someone who has experience in this?
