[Bill Schwab]

True Jeff, however, trucking costs money too, and since they called this a hand dig, this would mean you wheel the dirt up into the back of your truck. No machines, even if you are bringing it on site behind a dump just to load spoils, that needs to be charged for in order to keep apples to apples.

Typically, with the drawings from engineering, or architectural firms we work with, all that criteria is usually spelled out, as the average homeowner could vary well tell you to save money, he will take care of the soils, however, in all reality, once they see the pile, they will want you to take them away. Cha Ching, cha chang! I don,t want my net getting hit by a second that is not accounted for.
Food for thought!
