Did you ever consider using a Ditchwitch type of trencher to trench rows into the floor up to two or three feet first? Then use the hammerdrill to finish it up.

Lots of love pops

Those mini LED lights for your art gallery, do you have a link? I'm looking to do the same thing but, without all the digging :D

A very underrated tool. I went with a good one, a Bosch. I have some basement drainage to engineer for a new bathroom and some concrete work around the yard. This allows concrete demo with precision so you don't have to take a sledge to a lot more floor than you need. I just got the spike bit, I have to get the spade bit for digging. I have some concrete embedded posts to remove. Very useful. Just make sure you service it. Modern tools have a service indicator light that disables the tool until you have it looked at by an authorized repair center. There are benefits of getting a good tool. More engineering for things like shock absorption (VERY important for your joints) and attachments to install a vacuum with a filter to catch particles. More amps and strikes per minute. Internal parts are durable enough to last.

Great job!

How's your back? Also jealous of your ability to do this. Ain't doing this with a fieldstone foundation.

You deserve many pats on the back for the dig, video, and fine family.

Just bought this from Harbor Freight and it works perfectly. Easier than I expected. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. We just bought lakeshore very similar to yours. Where did you find the floats??? Please let me know. Thanks. Todd

10 10 fertilizer

Nice job! Glad you got her in place nicely👍

i was looking to remove a post in rocky soil, thanks for mentioning it in your video! very helpful

Is that accoustic Slade's come on feel the noise?

I’m going to make my own coffin for me, we have plenty of red cedar then use blue spruce as accents it’ll be the only one like it. Thank you Sir

Starting to do something similar to this myself. Bought a house for 18K and it has needed a LOT of work. Currently has a crawlspace underneath it and the foundation is rubblestone style using sandstone and let's just say that there is a section that is falling apart. I figure I will need to at least dig down to the rock and clay layer to replace the foundation and while I am at it I may as well see if I can put in a full basement. Probably going to be a multi year project but if you figure what your time is worth when you are sitting on your butt doing nothing (approx. -$1.00 per hour is what it costs to live for one person with basic food and electricity maybe more or less depending on where you live) doing something is a lot better than nothing at all. I have a section about 10X15 dug down to the rock layer and the topsoil runs between 18" and 24" deep. Been pulling that out to fill in the yard and a few other area's. I had previously put in a garden and pulled around 1500 pounds of large stones out of that area so needed the topsoil to fill that back in. Going to use the rock and clay layer to raise a section around my house between 8" and 16" to put in a patio. If I can't get down deep enough for a basement then at least I will have a crawlspace that is deep enough to move around in without worming my way around. Either way I will be able to put in a cast concrete reinforced foundation that will be a ton better than what is currently there. As far as engineering, I doubt there was much done on my place when it was built in 1911 but an 8" thick wall with rebar every 12" vertically and horizontally will be plenty strong. I have actually poured something similar when working on a job where we tore out a bridge to put in a pair of 21' diameter arch pipe. If it was strong enough to anchor those monsters with water trying to lift them up I am sure it will work for a lowly foundation for a house on top of a hill, LOL. The most important part for you is if you enjoy it. Personally I want to setup a small woodshop and maybe some storage, after that who knows. But a place to work on stuff for me will be a huge deal. I also understand about working your knees, I broke the end off of my clavicle and tore a bunch of stuff up. Walked around for 15 years complaining about it until something was done, digging has helped some but I doubt it's going to be completely healed without another surgery.

Terrific Title :) The honesty was refreshing.

You should have dug to the bottom....99.9% chance of historical artifacts and treasure to be found.

The curiosity gets us every time but you never know until you check now you have satisfaction

Keep going, you never what you will find

Love the music 🎉🎉🎉

I was hoping for something a little more scandalous. Maybe you should have kept digging! Speaking of dead bodies from the prohibition era, I'll have to tell you about my grandfather who was a contractor in the Boston area and died of bathtub gin...allegedly. See you around... 😎

Incredible!

wow thank you

the reason why I am here its about coffin dance

awesome :)

Amazing! And I purposely avoid fur when possible because I know how tedious it is.👏👏👏

Cute dog and very cool drawing!

the end result turned out amazing much love, mate. keep doing what you're doing

Very nice

Impressive but I drove to a whole other city to see my girlfriend this weekend, who’s the real man (still you 😂)

Just what I needed. Would appreciate if you identify the specific spade SDS bit you bought/recommend. Also the model of the hammer drill

Be gentle to the fragile ecosystem! Bogs and wetlands are a very important habitat at high risk due to development. The flora and fauna there is beautiful. A boardwalk is good to have the least impact. Anyway, looks like you have created a lovely oasis for your family to make a lot of happy memories. Was that a special drill to work underwater?

Ingenious. Loved seeing the star Zula!

For me this looks like total fun and I would never want it to end. But I'm different. I just like digging.

nice. I like it.

This is great I like it a lot 👍🏻👍🏻

To your comment, I can vouch that it is good for rocky soil. It is impossible to dig effectively in that type of terrain where I live.

Crazy talented

Don Quixote wow you took me back to like 3th or 4th grade reading time I’m going to have to find a copy you’re projects are awesome lots of living space for the family 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

dang! that snake sea sponge was wild

My back hurts after watching this…😮

Gorgeous! Enjoy your holiday. 🇨🇦

Nothing else matters as long You enjoy what you made especially with all that back breaking work you did by yourself.

Outstanding!

How much did you pay to have your head examined? Good thing you had friends and beer. You kept the Bob Ross style painting. You created a very unique basement/family space. Oh, it was golf that made you do it.

Cool. Awesome to hear how good it was for your health. I also had a dicey knee for many years. Took up cycling hard six months ago and knees haven’t felt this good in at least a decade.

Good to see you have my team on the big screen, as in Crystal Palace, and thank god the Pre Madonna as Zaha has gone!

I keep finding myself coming back to this video series for inspiration. I am contemplating digging out my crawl space a bit deeper just to have room to do maintenance. Belly crawling is for the birds.

Smart!
