Default Radio Controlled Basement Excavation

Canadian Digs Out Basement Using Only Radio Controlled Scale Tractors and Trucks...Since 1997!

Excavating a basement using professional machinery is nothing new but doing it with radio controlled (RC) scaled models is something unheard of. Welcome to the little big world of Joe, from Saskatchewan, Canada. For the past 15 years (!), Joe has been digging out his basement at an average annual rate of 8 to 9 cubic feet using nothing more than RC tractors and trucks!

This is why I like Canadians.

Well i'd bet that most wives would prefer their husbands to spend their time playing with toys in the basement instead of down at the pub carousing with floozies.

Why worry about insignificant things like progress and results when you can have cool toys, right? His wife must have the patience of a saint.
