    That’s a slippery slope. Kind of like the book

    Id love to have an excavator. Lots of homeowner projects I could turn into half week forays into dirt digging.

    You'd get to meet a lot of new people too. Like, the guy from the gas company when you rupture a pipe, or the guy from the electric company when their new cable gets sliced in half. As in "well, on our maps that cable shouldn't even be there." My favorite is the Cable TV guy...they're the ones that are really under pressure to get things going again and they tend to jump around a lot and spray spit when they talk.

    Well, call before you dig around here is known for only marking within 5’ of property lines. We don’t have buried gas or water or electric or cable around here either/ older area of the country. Prolly find a old swimming pool (100% sure of that in my back yard) pretty likely to find a old car or 2 and appliances from the early days of modern conveniences.
    Found a vw bug in my fathers yard with shovels: got it halfway uncovered & figured it would be a project to get it out and filled back in and gotten rid of.

    sure would like to put in some storm water drainage in the yard, pull some old stumps, knock a couple trees over, dig out some rooted vines….. idk what else maybe go track around the neighborhood tooting the horn waving at kids with the boom up

    I found an old tire dump a few years ago. It was going to be an extension of a very exclusive gated community. The tires were very neatly stacked and went down over 200 feet on what turned out to be almost twenty acres. It had been there so long that trees had grown up on top of it and the roots were all tangled in the tires.
    The county inspector had no sense of humor...I suggested taking just the first couple of layers of tires off, back filling the hole with fresh dirt, and you'd have a really nice shock absorber to build all those mansions on.
