That should have been my line. LOL.

BACKHOE used DEMOLISH!

It's super effective!

The buckets on those backhoes are so heavy that they just pound through that cement like giant sledgehammers! 04-rock

Why do the "recommended" links at bottom link to Providence Friars basketball?

Never mind. The tiny "learn more" link gives:

RE: EZF Construction Thread
What was that building used for? And I've always wondered what that "vented" blue area right behind the goal posts are for as well. I'm sure someone here knows that answer. If my recollection of the renderings of the EZF are correct, that vented area will survive, but become green, to match the rest of the area.

The cam has been awesome so far, and we are only in the demo stages. It's strangely serene watching the backhoes do their work with no sound.

A little confusing how they have two perfectly good backhoes available and one of them is just sitting idle. Maybe the working one is a Senior and the idle one is a Freshman, as it appears the "Senior" backhoe has gotten most of the demolition reps? 05-stirthepot
