    Default Basement Dig Out

    Ok, so I can think of a quicker way to dig out your basement however this is priceless! Since 1997, A Man Has Been Digging Out His Basement Using Only R/C Scale-Model Construction Equipment.

    Basement Dig Out.

    Go down to the end of the page and click on the links to the videos. The man has the patience of a saint!

    "Saint" isn't the word that I would have picked.
    I'm bitterly disappointed. Yes, bitterly.
    All show and no go.
    I was hoping for some miniature dynamite, too.

    Not a very efficient work site either. One operator for all those machines. And there seemed to be quite a bit of double handling too. Excavating the dirt in the basement, taking it outside to dump it, leveling it out with the Dozer, only to pick it all up again and dump it in a different spot...

    ...or am I being a little pedantic??
    Too many projects, so little time, even less money!

    That's a cross between greatness and madness...
    Great application of the radio controlled machine...
    But as mad as a hatter spending nearly 15 years to what would have taken 15 days with blokes and big machinery...
    Great find Scott.
    Cheers, crowie
