House built in 1922 with less than 6 ft ceilings. Dug out 100,000 lbs of material and hauled it off in buckets. Took me about 3 months. Now we have 8ft ceilings. Foundation work handled by professional with proper permits.

    I’ve done about 1000 sq ft of patio and path recently. Just the bricks are around 25k lbs. Ive moved about 30 yards of dirt and I’m expecting to put in around 50k lbs of gravel. My soil is mostly silt clay and its still heavy as fuck.
