...and since 1997, he's been digging out the basement of his house using only radio controlled scale construction equipment

I love it - combining fun and useful stuff (although you certainly shouldn't be in a hurry!)

That guy is on YouTube, goes by the name Lil Giant Construction Co. He's got an amazing set up, basically pit mining his basement. I believe he's the one who has a rock separator, rock crusher, etc. Lot's of vids to enjoy.

Now that I think about it, I may have seen the post.

But years later and still digging? Props to him..

I will check the vids and see where he is going with this.

Well, he got bored with the confines of the basement so he popped a hole in the wall to start carting the dirt outside to the yard and flowerbeds. :mrgreen:

BTW, I fixed the link above to his personal page where you can see all his vids.

He's got a great setup. He's a farmer somewhere up in Canada so he has loooong winters that he has to have something to do and digging out his basement is how he fills his time. :D
