DCP_0245.JPG (740662 bytes) We got about 5 inches of rain so the gravel pit had a couple feet of water in it.  Thought it would be fun to use both Cats to dig a ditch to drain it. DCP_0249.JPG (1117574 bytes)

D4Dozer.jpg (47272 bytes) I am using the D4 here to level the area for our sawmill.  There was a rock pile on the fence line, I dug a hole with the dozer and buried the rocks there.  Made a nice level place for the sawmill.
