Got the urge and the time to put the 7G back into the fray. Got after the highway frontage AGAIN to add more sight distance for the pull out. Removed a few trees today, had a really healthy cedar had the old girl almost up on to get to roll down and out. Weld work hanging in tough and I did apply LOTS of pressure on that today. Trees get cut up and hauled off then can get back to dirt work.

| Very cool DMiller. Pushing dirt is the best. |

| Have a few more trees to remove, then start the dirt work moving excess back into the stump holes first then the majority up the hill as a top layering for our ground source heat. The benefits, trees too close to power lines, grade cut away for sight distance on a bad curve for the drive, dirt over cover for the heat system. The company that set our Geo system had to situate the piping on the solid rock top of the hill and barely five feet deep, any additional insulation/depth will be a bonus. |

| Sounds like a hell of a project. You got the equipment for it for sure. |

Gotta love the awesome work on that new HD7G bucket! Action shots of the good old Allis doing a days work in 2017 are getting thin.
