...and since 1997, he's been digging out the basement of his house using only radio controlled scale construction equipment

Thats awesome!!

I have a friend who custom built a Boom truck and a CAT Road Grader. I will see if I can find the pics and video.

Fantastic, but someone has WAY too much time on his hands...

I forgot all about this.

Serious? I have never heard about this.

Someone fill me in, Is he really? Details please.

I love it - combining fun and useful stuff (although you certainly shouldn't be in a hurry!)

That guy is on YouTube, goes by the name Lil Giant Construction Co. He's got an amazing set up, basically pit mining his basement. I believe he's the one who has a rock separator, rock crusher, etc. Lot's of vids to enjoy.

Does OSHA know about this??

Do the United Mine Workers of America know about this?

Does he have a permit from the city?

OSHA? Permits? Pffffft!

It was posted on ClodTalk some time ago.

Now that I think about it, I may have seen the post.

But years later and still digging? Props to him..

I will check the vids and see where he is going with this.

Well, he got bored with the confines of the basement so he popped a hole in the wall to start carting the dirt outside to the yard and flowerbeds.

BTW, I fixed the link above to his personal page where you can see all his vids.

He's got a great setup. He's a farmer somewhere up in Canada so he has loooong winters that he has to have something to do and digging out his basement is how he fills his time.
