Hi everyone! This is a very impressive forum-there certainly seems to be a wealth of knowledge here. My name is Bill, and I just entered the ecavating business this fall. I have owned a autobody shop for the last 8 years and business has fallen off greatly the last several years, so it's time to start a new venture. On a whim last summer I was browsing e-bay and found a Ford L-8000 single axle dump, and much to my wife's horror, I won it. One thing led to another and now I have a tandem dump, d-3 dozer, and a Komatsu PC-75 excavator. I have always loved running heavy equipment, and got a considerable bit of experience in the military. So far so good. There seems to be plenty of work here in northeastern Ohio. I've picked-up quite a few jobs already, and have'nt even been looking seriously yet. Winter finally seems to be starting here, so hopefully I can paint my trucks before next spring. I know I've learned alot from this forum already, and there is alot more I need to learn!
