They had to lift and shove it back off the tank and hole, with a telehandler they had on site. Then regraded it all to get it to the other side of the house. I'm sure they broke some pvc lines. I think they stopped before they pushed the tank out of place.

Second pic. a multi-loop roller coaster? They tore apart the Mindbender triple loop coaster at West Edmonton Mall last year. It pretty much shook itself to death but was in operation for over 30 years. Tragically there was a fatal accident when the cars came off the track. I did a little welding on it back in 2007.

I got no budget for rock!
you got a budget for damage and broken things and lost time?

I'm sure they successfully avoided disturbing any utilities. A quick pass with a skid steer and they'll be ready to pave.

Oh, you play the game a little while, and you can kind of see the future.
Its amazing how easily that concrete cracks, considering that well prepared paste subsoil they use.

And speaking of concrete cracking, I'm not sure what sort of cheap filler quackery the concrete plants are using today, but I've been seeing a rash of really stress cracked fresh garage/ house floors. And its not the installers, because these guys have been pouring slabs for years.
Around here flyash is more expensive than Portland so they use slag now witch seems really stupid cause everything cracks anymore
Not to mention subgrade prep sucks anymore

EPA put the hammer on Fly Ash here, contains "Some" Mercury. Clays are being used Extensively which make the Concrete more porous as been told.

What's with the curved I beams? Is that a house? What will the roof be? Or is it going to be a huge skylight?

Big lake house. I have no idea what the end plan is, and no one on the job site is really sure either. Because there are no plans, or dimension drawings, just a architectural rendering of the dream.
They are making it up as they go along. There's no strict planning/ permit process out where the house is.
Most of the framing and steel has been moved at least once. Walls gone, beams installed, steel columns moved. Owners come look and things change.

Daughters Prius laid down while she had winter break from college. There's a somewhat local expert on Prius, he's got a graveyard of bent and broken ones.
But he wanted $600 just to do a diagnostic check, so a little Internet sleuthing and some parts cannon (it's not this, this or this, so it must be that).
Anyway, it's running, and good thing , she's got my wife's Honda pilot, which evidently now won't start.
So I got my cardboard box of tools, and we're going to try to swap broken toys this weekend.

the undisturbed clay under 18" of borrow is fully plasticized and pumping in my carport, due to the wrecking ball of a forklift.
When the forklift is gone, it will start to heal up. I can probably place that concrete about June.

You just need a crane guy to show up, and refuse to go in the mud hole. No crane, no rooftop HVAC. Presto- rock path from the road in to the crane set up area.
Every job site needs a crane, we got to eat. The brickies can tear it all back up after we are gone.

I wish most GC's would get a crane to erect the steel. Hell we'd pick up extra work building the road and pad then use the rock later.
Interesting side note - Bidding a Chik Fil A and reading through the owners directive absolutely no forks on the HVAC they have to use a crane and certify a crane was used.
