Q:ive always been fascinated with machines like excavators and back hoes. what would an excavator make per year? im talking someone who does excavations for houses foundations, grading, landscaping, etc?

The average salary for excavator jobs is $32,000. Average excavator salaries can vary greatly due to company, location, industry, experience and benefits. A heavy equipment operator typically makes in the range of $28,000 to $35,000. Cheers.

Q:What is the capacity of the 'bucket' or 'backhoe' of a large construction excavator for commercial buildings? What is the capacity of a dump truck that takes the payload from such an excavator? I'm trying to figure out how many dump truck trips and how many scoops of earth it will take to excavate a 40m x 20 m x 4 m hole, for an apartment building construction site.

well that stuff is pretty impressive, but try cubic yds or meters etc, it might help simplify it.

Q:My Pops owns a septic tank business and he is looking for a excavator that will hook to the front of the septic tank truck. It's single track and it fits to the front bumper of the truck. I have been searching and can't seem to find anything online. Is it called a mini excavator? Can anyone tell me exactly what this is called and where we can find one?Thanks.

Just go and find an old backhoe...take the bucket and arm and attach to the front of the truck. then you need a way to power the hydraulic pump...you'll need the hoses and control levers off the backhoe as well as the afore-mentioned pump. You can mount the seat behind the contol levers... picture this, if you know what a backhoe is, take off the back half, beef up the trucks front end, mount a big hunk of iron for a bumper on front, and rig up a belt and tensioner to drive the pump, the ways to do it are limited by your imagination, you can go fixed or semi remote(removable), keep in mind your weights, you dont want to have to have a DOT permit every time you move it, and when retracted you will possibly have overhead clearance issues...or you can get a trailer and buy a used backhoe...or he could give you a shovel and put you to digging, I'm betting he likes my last idea best! I hope some of this helps, imagination can make anything possible...COOL.

Q:can i use this in a wooden terrarium for my leopard gecko and have plastic wrap on the bottom and sides of the tank so it does stick?

Oof. Take that crap out, oh lord he might be crying inside from th e noise. Take out the plastic wrap and put paper towel in for substrate, much easier and better for the gecko in general. Or sand if your careful about compaction.

Q:What does an operating engineer do?Would their salary be the same as a regular nuclear engineer?I only wanted to get a bachelors degree and nuclear engineering looked the most interesting to me, but then I found out that with a bachelors in nuclear engineering you can only be an operating engineer..

.....sounds dangerous lol in regards to you question idk.

Q:My wife and I would absolutely love to have an inground swimming pool in our back yard. When looking at cost... it seems it will end up being around $30,000. When seeing how expensive it was, we decided to check into pool kits where you can install them yourself. I find myself to be a handy man and wouldn't mind the labor. How hard is it to actually install one of these pools yourself?(all answers welcomed but someone with experience in this topic preferred)THANKS!!!

I have taken on many DIY projects including installing an inground hot tub. There is a lot to do with a pool. You don't just dig a hole and line the walls and add water. You will need to integrate, piping for the filter system, a skimmer system, lighting as well as pumps and filters. You will also have to excavate for the pool, deal with the soil you remove and install the liner (concrete or what ever) so it doesn't crack, leak or split. After you do all of that, you will need to finish the area around the pool and add a safety fence. Don't forget in many areas you will need a permit and periodic inspections of your work. I would not attempt such a project on my own.

Q:How many times a week should I do activities? What kind of activities? How do I get started? Please, any advice would be great!

I would focus on the 4 year old, and just let the 2 year old be a baby still! I home schooled our 4 year old for pre-k and we had a daily schedule that was pretty easy-going. We would start with the Pledge of Allegiance so she would know it when she went off to Kindergarten. We did approx. 10 minutes of some sort of workbook activities (she loved doing that!), about 10 minutes of a hands-on math activity, and then we did some other activity that involved the alphabet/reading. We also practiced such things as opening her lunch box and all the items inside, raising our hand, etc... so she would be better prepared for Kindergarten. There are a TON of websites out there on homeschooling. Just google homeschooling and you will be able to go from there! Again though, I would let the little one be for now and just let him/her learn through play and exploration!

Q:I have been looking at selling my car and getting a diesel, Mostly a 02-03 7.3L PSD. I have really be looking for reasons not to buy one but i am really not finding any. I live in Missouri so its cold in the winter but as long as i have a block heater i can leave it plugged in, in my driveway so its not too big of a deal. I also know that oil changes are quite a bit more expensive but if you are going to drive it like i am... I.E. not hauling heavy loads you can go 5000mi between oil changes. Anyone have any reasons i should not buy one? Or good reasons too buy one.

Good job at choosing to look at 7.3s. 99 is the best year for the truck but I own an 03 dually. It's a fantastic truck. No complaints. Only issues I've had is we have a fuse that keeps blowing but we just need to get a bigger one and starters will go out. But starters are a pretty cheap and easy fix. 2000+ you start getting into body rust. My 03 is pretty clean but my 2000 is half gone. Still runs great and hauls like a champ but fenders and cab corners rusted completely. We bought some bush walker fender flairs and now you can't even tell there's rust and it looks amazing! Good luck with findin a 7.3. Whatever you do do not think you can get away with gettin a 6.0. You might find better looking ones but if you plan on hauling get a 7.3 or 6.7. 6.4 king ranch f450s are really good at hauling too. That's what we use for our horse shows. We pull a 40+ foot gooseneck horse trailer around the country and that truck is never in the shop and you can't even tell it's pulling a trailer!
