How can you excavate the basement most cheaply / quickly?

We have also completed these tasks. I had to insulate the basement wall and for that, the soil had to be removed. Doing it by hand would not have been feasible, at least not within this period of time.

So there was a mini excavator for rent. The price includes the delivery and pickup of the mini excavator. We then rented a Kubota which was very ideal for these tasks. I can only recommend it.

But compare prices before renting, because there are some differences here.

There are no cheap craftsmen anymore. Everything else are illegal workers. To work you need a pickaxe, a shovel, and also a spade. In addition, there is a wheelbarrow for transport. Then have fun at work. As the Germans say, [geiz ist cool], but not here.
