Yep We cut holes in the old deck and drove piles then demo after piles are inSo are you setting on the old deck and then demo after you have the new pilings in, or was the deck already off?
The bucket was prereaved so I got chain on the closing line as well. I was switching back and forth between clamshell, skip box and lifting the mini excavator and setting rebar cages so chain on both lines made it fast to switch things around. I use two lines on the skip box as well. One on the front and one on the back so I can dump it right into a truck without having to unhook anythingLike your chain on the holding line . Sure keeps things spooling right .
The bridge was built in the 1920's and all the rebar is square. The hillside says adin. Adin CaliforniaGoodness, that last pics a bridge correct??? But it looks like enough crete an rbar to build a dam. There again down here a lot of the heavy loads are put over on old roads and off the IS because the newer bridges want take it and have been derated. Old boys looked at it an said if a little was good a lots better, just like that old heavy P&H its harder an heavier to move but its still kickin as long as the operator can be found to run it. Keep the pics comin. Also whats that wrote on the hillside

Actually the old stuff crumbles like nothing. Part of the bridge was widened and that concrete is super hard to breakWith 100 years to cure, I bet that is some hard to break concrete. In iowa where I grew up, a lot of the old concrete was poured with the small round river rock, and that stuff is super hard to break up, compared with some of the quarried limestone. You would run into it in a lot of old farm barn lots and foundations, and old piers and creek crossings.
