and I'm going to get to drive one of these this weekend.
OK, so it's not like it's a real bull dozer or front end loader, but it's still construction equipment. Just smaller.

But it takes a bit to get the coordination down if you've never done it before. Allow yourself a decent learning curve. Posts: 7954 | Registered: Mar 2004

Bah, you're but a woman. I'm a man. I'm born to drive construction equipment.
Hobbes, it's pretty cool. I actually get to build something in my backyard that I always design for others.

Eljay, I predict he will get lost looking for his backyard and waste the entirety of his rental period looking for it, refusing to ask for directions. Posts: 5948 | Registered: Jun 2001

Apparently, I should not have come back to look at this thread.
I ordered my dirt today. I've decided that being a soils engineer is a curse sometimes. My conversation with the landscape company:
Me : Is the dirt clean and well-draining?
Them : Huh?
Me : Have all the twigs, roots, etc. been screened out of it?
Them : I don't know. It's dirt.
Me : Is it well-draining?
Them : It's dirt.
It's like telling a wine connisseur that your favorite wine is red.
And Eljay, the Bobcat I'm renting is barely big enough to knock over a sprinkler head, much less the garage.

I have a friend whose husband bought a Bobcat on e-bay for $4,000. Had to fix a couple of hydraulic lines and it was good to go. He used it this winter to clear snow. How fun is that!!!
