60ft with the Japanese backhoe this afternoon. Got a little crooked digging backwards 😅. Thank goodness for eastern NC sandy loam. Didn't hit a single rock.

I might regret this trick when I need to catch that gray conduit later. It works for today though 😂

Lucky You! For two days I been work a Pool job. I asked the contractor if he knew the ground was Shale. He said yes, the whole subdivision is! He's done a couple other pools out there. I helped a friend run a water line with a small trencher, once. Then he found out his Lot is all lose rocks! :dumbass:

I had a friend who lost the thumb,first finger and part of his palm back in the 70's at some place he worked at in Asheville.He said the worst part (other than the pain Im sure) was you couldnt hold anything in your palm or get anything out of your pocket w that hand.He was a good sport about.He had been a body man for years and smoked too.His wife came home and found him in the kitchen floor dead.He had COPD real bad and they said he probably smothered to death.

1982 West Cary Jr. high school, The woodshop was beside the cafeteria and separate from the rest of the school with an open area w picnic tables and concrete. Me and some friends were having lunch outside. It was hot outside and the door to the shop was open. All of sudden we hear screams and a dude comes running out the door and runs towards the parking screaming all the way while the shop teacher chased after him. Dude cut 3 fingers off when he pushed down on a piece of wood he was cutting. I don't know why running away would be the best thing to do.

Dayum

Those Saw Stop systems are awesome but still $$ ….cheaper than losing a finger.

I mean, it's not funny, but the visual of captain no fingers being chased by the shop teacher made me laugh.
