Clifford Automotive Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Looking for someone that does excavating on here. He needs a trench dug from his house to the street for a city water connection. His house also sits 19ft above street level. Let me know what you can offer and time frames for setting up estimates.

RedRocket1647545505 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Tell him to rent a walk-behind trencher. Rule of thumb is about 100ft/hr. Give or take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I got a backhoe with a 1 foot bucket if you want. Let me know where he lives. Or just rent a mini excavator from sunbelt rentals and do it yourself. They are easy to run. Just make sure you know where all the other utilities are so you dont hit anything else.

Twistedrx7 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Just have them rent one. It is much easier. They are easy to use and operate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Automotive Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 He can do it himself is what he told me. He just doest have the time. He owns a car dealership, so that takes up most of his time. The guys got money if someone wants to do it. I think I forgot to add up top that he needs some "piped layed" also.

Have him rent a mini excavator and I will come out and run it for him and hook up whatever needs hooked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mini excavator is more expensive and slower for installing a waterline. A walk behind/side trencher would suit the job well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
