Well i was going through some really old pictures and came across these. This is the most difficult job we have ever done. I was only 13 when i worked on this job so unfortunately i only have these pictures. And yes that is what 40 granite steps look like all in a row. This is a house on a lake and there house is on the side of a very steep hill as you can see. The middle 2 pictures give you an idea of the slope we were working with. What we did was i was in our bobcat 331 excavator on the corner of the wall and i would boom down the granite steps in to place. I would also lower any stone and tools the guys needed down to them. All the digging out for the steps had to be done by hand until we got up high enough to where the 331 could reach. If my memory serves me correctly this job took about a week. Also all the walls you see we did the year before.

Well i found some more old pictures. When i tell customers i have been operating equipment on job sites for 13 years, and not on jobs for 5 years before that, i get a lot of funny looks (I am 23) and most people don't believe me. Maybe i should carry around these pictures.:drinkup Sorry for the crappy quality there old!

We LOVE the T300 it is an absolute beast. I would highly recommend it to anyone. I think it has 600hrs on it and we have literally had not one problem with it.

Some very nice looking jobs and equipment! Looks like the 50 is just about the right size for most of the jobs, you are doing. Some very nice looking stone work.
