Excavating
Once the road was done, we began digging the foundation, and the
trenches for water, power, sewer, etc. It took a full week of work with an
"excavator" to get everything dug out. An amazing amount of rock came out of the
foundation.

This is an "excavator". You can attach either a shovel or a pneumatic hammer to the end of the arm. |
