House built in 1922 with less than 6 ft ceilings. Dug out 100,000 lbs of material and hauled it off in buckets. Took me about 3 months. Now we have 8ft ceilings. Foundation work handled by professional with proper permits.

Exactly. I have a small trailer and it holds 1600lbs. That’s a half yard of crashed stone. A baby-bucket on their front loader and he had to be gentle dumping it in. Earth and rock is heavy in the same way space is big. It’s hard to grasp how much it weighs and how much there is.
