I love this! Guy is great! Design and build the equipment and then put it to use!
Of course, the goal is to play with equipment not finish the job. Of course, I'd be concerned with little jobsite thieves as well! Them rodents can be DANGEROUS!!!!

There is a part of me that likes to see things happen remotely upon my command. A guy thing I presume. TV remotes are too simple and universal. RC aircraft are fun. This little big project might be the ultimate example of this. So many controlable functions, all done remotely, with visible albiet slow progress. I might need to pull a shift. Then it would be out of my system. He must have implemented more technology as the years provided more capability etc. Keeps it "new"!

That guy who built the Lamborghini in his basement should have hired this guy to excavate the hole he needed to get the car out!

From what I gathered, he operated the front hoe, his wife operated the bulldozer, and his farm hand (ahem, girlfriend) operated the dump truck. The only thing I see he is missing is an R/C roach-coach for rest/food breaks. So with all that heavy equipment I wonder if he is a union shop? |

Joe, please tell us you're not really canadian. Isn't the ground frozen 10 months a year? At least that's what's keeping me from digging out my basement with toy equipment. Don't they have dynamite where you live? Little fire crackers might speed things up.

I would assume that he has to get the equipment out to charge it.
