Used Backhoe

Posts Tagged ‘whats’

I have an 8×12 rectangular trampoline (about 3 1/2 feet high) and I want the jumping surface to be flush with the ground. I live in the tampa bay area of florida about 4 miles from the water. I plan on this being permanent, and safe. I am concerned with drainage. I dont want it to become a mosquito trap. so my sub-questions are:

Will I need to use railroad ties and/or other type of reinforcements to prevent cave-ins? Like a log cabin built inside a hole? Hopefully a simpler, cheaper solution is possible.

Is any extra drainage system needed or will it just soak in to the ground?

What is the best way to dig this, with a shovel and a lot of time? I cant afford a backhoe, and even if I could, there is no way to get large equipment in there.
Thanks

I own an older home that has 6-8 overgrown “evergreen” bushes in front of the house. I would like to pull them out and prevent future growth. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to a backhoe, forklift or crane. I do, however have a 4×4 that I can use… What do you all think?

We are clearing some of our property we bought and it is full of nothing but bushes, weeds, brush, sticker and such. No trees, just junk. We have it cleared but are left with lots of little sturdy stumps. to many to dig or pull. Any other method other than renting a big backhoe or whatever people use?

the owner of the subdivision that we just bought land from is suppose to put in a lift station for the sewer, but hasnt done so, claiming that the ground is too frozen to dig at the moment. he has had plenty of times when it was above freezing to do it. we cannot start building our home until he gets this done….we have waited months now to start, but nothing has been done. so my question is; Whats the coldest temprature you can dig ground using a backhoe? we are seeking a lawyer and plan to meet with him on friday because if this matter. we feel we are getting the runaround. does anyone out there know about digging and stuff like that? please let me know!!! thanx soooooo much……
