    People might say your wife isn't doing much, but she's saving you a ton of time and energy not having to get on and off the machine.

      She is a huge help! I couldn’t do what I am doing without her.

    i never knew a skid steer could drill holes your very good with that to couldent you just put some paint on the drill and mark 2 feet save your wife doing the mesuring ?

      If the ground was perfectly level you might be able to get away with that but since we have the gravel each hole was a different from top to bottom. We went 24” below the ground but not 24” below the gravel. Also, when you drill the hole some dirt piles on the outside of the hole so that skews the height a bit too. It’s also hard to see inside the cab. If you really needed to you could do it with one person but two people are easier I think.

    Very nice Adam. You are a good with that machine., I watched the house we live in being built and it was done very different than what you are doing.

      Yeah I bet! This is quite a bit different than traditional stick built houses at least for now. Once we start framing up the walls on the inside it'll look a little more normal.

    Awesome! Nice job!! Tina didn’t want to drive the skid steer this time?

      She did not. There will be plenty more times for her to operate the equipment I’m sure.
