Great pics, really like the night shots, what time are you working until, here it's dark by 5:15 or so. How many hour days are you working?

Just read this thread from end to end very impressive works. Not wanting to blow sunshine up your arse but your quality of work and the control you have for someone so young is awesome. I started my earthmoving business from scratch at 23 starting with a kubota R510 backhoe that i drove from job to job(at 7 mph), to 7 years later with a 4.5 mini, CTL, attachments out the butt, Dozer, Dumpers, Wood chipper, Dump truck and Tag trailer. So i understand your comments about multiple machine driving to get the job done. Now i want a 20 tonner.

keep up the great work coverage for us to enjoy

Thanks man, it really mean a lot when someone can tell how hard you work to do the absolute best job possible. I do every job to my standards, even if theys seem out of reach sometimes.
