A Hole Large Enough You Could Drive.
Uncle Doug bought a backhoe.
Construction grade, John Deere.
Some years ago.
Probably doesn't need it, but.
Dug some ditches.
Straightened some rivers.
Fell through a barn floor once.
It's been parked in the main bank barn at my Uncle's place most the winter.
A storm rolled up Friday morning.
Doug decided it was good day to wash the behemoth off.
He got halfway to the door.
Fell through a barn floor twice.
This is a picture of halfaways through extraction.
Tempers were hot when I arrived and the beast was still stuck.
A photojournalist in Iraq I am not.
But here's the gaping hole she left.

so so sad, right? :)
You could lay down some of that pergo crap for $159/ft to cover it up. What does a back hoe weigh anyways?
drew says a back hoe weighs around 29,000 lbs, and 3 qts.
does my barn floor remind you of your house ceiling steve?
i'm not real good at estimating things.
rusty, rusty, rusty. you should well know by how the floorboards broke that the backhoe weighs exactly 28,000 pounds and TWO quarts. if it weighed what you said that drew said, it would have meant certain doom for uncle doug. and he's still alive and kickin.
that floor looks like it's made out of balsa wood. 29,000 pounds won't hold on balsa wood drew. i'm suprised you didn't know that.
