We’ve been working the past few weeks at the Hun’s Rugby Ranch in South East Austin off MLK and 183. It has been an awesome project, fixing the roads around the fields, leveling out a parking lot (that was absolutely infested with invasive bamboo!)
We probably invested about 100 hours on this project and are looking forward to a continued partnership going forward!
Mowing down overgrowthMowing the soon to be third fieldCleared invasive bamboo with the mower deck and scraped the topsoil down to expose roots and level the land.With a thirty inch auger for light poles with a four foot extension. We can dig up to a 10′ deep hole!Installed the rebar cages with ground rod and clampSetup the forms, mounting platform J hooks and are ready for concrete!
Above, we are grading and widening a road that was rough cut. Towards the end of the video we test the road with our 20′ gooseneck and discover that a couple of the turns are still a little too tight.
Below we are installing 24′ steel posts in the ground for a shade structure. We performed a final scrape of the road and leveled out the job site for ease of future construction.
In the video below, the owner of this dome house wanted more earthen material placed on top. Due to the proximity of propane tanks it was not safe for us to travel on top of the home, we placed as much material on the side as we could reach, and created a dry stack of large rocks surrounding the right side of the entryway.
For WoodGate Road, we regraded the road that reaches the interior of this property from the highway. This road was crossed by two dry creeks and needed some erosion control.
On the way back out to Terlingua my last trip, I stopped in at ProFab Welding in Mason, Texas to pick up this really nice (and RED!) rock bucket. Let me tell you, it is extremely well built and has excellent carrying capacity. It is well paired with my SVL 75-3 https://www.profabweld.com/
