Pistonhead Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Check this link out. This chap has dug out a basement without touching a shovel, and he's done it purely because he can! He doesn't even have plans for the extra space once it's finished. http://uniladmag.com/video/guy-spends-9-years-digging-out-basement-with-remote-controlled-diggers/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) I saw this a while ago, that guy really needs to get a life. Edited November 24, 2014 by alex97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigyeti007 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 This is awesome! I would love to do this but IT would quickly result into a divorce so I won't, that and I don't have any rc diggers,lorrys or any other of the required rc machienary lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 I'd gladly dig a pond with them, but then again i'd rather have a play on a proper one to do it and have even more fun on that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazlam Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 That's insane. I guess it makes the dude happy. So good on him. Or..... He's got a few loose screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernaut jims Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Better than going the pub i suppose as he gains more money on his property and also enjoys his hobby. Can't say I would do it myself ???? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rytis Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 9 years of fun... how many years he spent just getting in and out of basement to be able to control RC's outside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreXeL Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 that guy really needs to get a life. Why? Because he has a hobby? I'm pretty sure you're on these forums because you've got an R/C hobby, so why is this guy any different? Sure, it's pretty extreme, but why be so judgemental? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Probably cost more than that to buy 'the toys'!! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkfat78 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 The other way to look at it is that he's into RC construction vehicles and has been 'bashing' in his basement for the last 9 years! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil.b Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Fair play if you ask me. If he enjoys it then who am I to judge him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex97 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) He spent 10 years digger out a basement with toy diggers need I say more? I do admirer him sticking at it for 10 years, it must have been very tedious. Edited November 27, 2014 by alex97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 we get this so many times! we all play with toys, just because this blokes toys are different whats the problem? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeb Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Absolutely no way i'd have the patience to do that, each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This^ He probably thinks thrashing a car up and down a road/field is boring and a waste of time....If I could get out and bash my cars at my local spot every day for 9 years then I would.so fair play to him if you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCpete Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I saw this a while ago, that guy really needs to get a life. If the guy has fun so what, i hate when people judge when they don't even know the person or situation. Besides what would a teenager know about life yet!

I'm am not saying that what he is doing is wrong/bad I just said what I thought about what it. Edited November 28, 2014 by alex97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Those proper hydraulic diggers cost over two grand, RCSparks has one, not cheap! I'd like to own one, but as with a tank, if I can't ramp it, I can't justify that kind of coin! As for the "9 years bashing every day" comment, hell yeah! I'd love to be out every day with my rigs, that's a ground-hog day I'd welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCpete Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 You just contradicted yourself by judging me by my age lol. I'm am not saying that what he is doing is wrong/bad I just said what I thought about what it. I judged you on what you said. You said the guy needs to get a life, and i think that is unfair because you don't know him or his life. But its true a teenager knows very little about real life yet. When you're older and have a job, house with mortgage, wife, kids etc, gained some life experience and you actually know the individual, then maybe you can tell them to get a life! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I judged him on his actions and most people (non rc) would say the same as me. I do enjoy RC but with everything I think some people take things a little bit to far but that's just my option.

Like i said before we don't know him or his situation, if he wants to use his love of RC for this for the last 9 years, thats fine. Who knows, maybe he has had a tragedy 9 years ago and has done this ever since to deal with it. People do weird things! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMaxxDave Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 That it bloody epic. Not something I'd do myself, not an entire basement anyway. Maybe a flower bed. A small one. Lol Sent from my iPad Air using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
