    Maybe there's a 12-step program for RC?

      I guess he's decided to move into his basement. I like the idea, but I think I could've dug it all out by hand faster.

        I'd say the model building is outstanding, but using them to dig an entire basement under and existing house, that's strange. Based on the videos it takes about 7-8 minutes to load about a shovel full of dirt. I just don't get it.

        To each their own.

          Definitely in the "It's not the destination, it's the getting there" category.

              The movie does say that he is excavating at a rate of 9 cubic feet per year, so speed is not an objective here.

                maybe he should try excavating a scale-sized basement....

                    I want to see video when he brings in the concrete trucks, power screeds and power trowels.

                    That sould take another 20 years or so....

                      You got to consider the scale: at 1:10 that would be 9000 cubic feet.. (10^3).
