Back to the Backhoe

Gotta ask my uncle about his backhoe. It is huge and getting it to the property and then in to the woods may be a huge deal. See what he thinks. 

I don't think I want a 9 foot deep foundation. I am leaning toward one above ground, at least a walkout on one side for sure. If it is nestled into the hillside then one full side out and part of the two sides, the rest tucked into the earth.
