A cousin of mine has an earth moving company, everything from grading roads, building dams, taking out trees, etc. This last week, our next door neighbor had one of my cousin's men removing some trees and redoing a waterway just north of our house. So I called and asked if he could spend a day or so in several acres of those dumb thorny locust trees behind my shop. He could.
He isn't done, but the equipment is parked for the weekend.
I'll give my cousin credit, everything he has and has done he did on his own. After he graduated from high school he drove a truck for a year or so and got drafted into the Army during the Korean War. The Army made a heavy equipment operator out of him and he spent most of his hitch in the Army building roads in Korea. He played it cool, saved his money, and when he got out of the Army he bought an old dozer and road maintainer and hung out his shingle. He married respectably and the whole thing took off from there.
He's some six years older than me, and by now has pretty much turned the business over to his two sons. He's also acquired about 150 old tractors to play with.
