Digging a ditch with a mini-excavator to divert water from washing out our rock drive.

- We put a rock driveway / rock road in a couple weeks ago and then we got a bad storm with a ton of rain that just messed it all up. We're up on a hill and you can see where the water flows, but we didnt expect this. So, we rented an excavator to dig around a 500 ft ditch on the south side of our road to catch that run off and send it down to our culvert.
Neither of us have ever operated an excavator and it showed! But, we got the hang of it and it was a ton of fun. It rained on us the entire time which was annoying, BUT, we got to see how our ditch would work.
We think we have the road good enough to get our shipping container delivered, we just need to clear the space where it's going to go, pick the exact one out, decide what "foundation" we're going with and then have it delivered.

Way to go guys!
Thanks, Amy! We appreciate you watching!
Stopping here my friend. Will be back after the weekend.
Thanks a ton! I’ll keep yours going through the weekend.
Your first mini-excavator rental!!! They are a lot of fun to use. Hmm, wondering if it will be your last time renting it?? LOL I say that because I am on my 4th rental, now. These definitely are not cheap. I try to get as much as done possible, too. Thank you for sharing your experience.
This trench has really saved our bacon! It helped a ton!
Progress 👍
That was a fun learning experience. Neither one of us had ever used an excavator before.
I love when we rent an excavator; usually end up doing it once a year for various projects. SO much fun. That will be nice to have your ditch, looks good!!!
Way more fun than expected! A little tricky to get the hang of, but once you know what you’re doing you can really get a lot done. Thank you!
Great job, we all have to start somewhere so your learning how to operate the excavator will come in handy again when you need to do more. Don't be afraid to learn to use other machines as you will undoubtedly have fun, just remember to do it safely.
Very true! Thank you for watching.
It looks like the rain is hanging around. I hope it doesn't. 😊❤️🙏🇦🇺⛺️🦌🐍
Great job there! Is that still holding up well for you all? I know you've had some bad storms that way. Merry Christmas and God bless! 😊
We have have some bad storms and one other flood, but it has worked flawlessly so far! Merry Christmas to you guys!
What state are you guys in?
Our property is in South Central Oklahoma, where it's been hotter than blue blazes, and dry as a bone! Thanks for watching!
