Is it possible to give a few hours on a backhoe or other earth mover as a gift? My husband's childhood dream was to be a backhoe operator. Now that he is a grownup lawyer, this doesn't seem likely to happen. Seeing him look longingly at some construction guys the other day gave me an idea. <br> <br> He has a birthday coming up, and I would love to get him some time to play with an earth mover. Is this possible? Is my best bet tracking down someone with property and see if we can dig and fill in a hole? Can I rent this kind of equipment? Or is this whole plan too dangerous and/or full of insurance problems that I haven’t considered to be feasible? <br> <br> If it helps, we are in the Denver area. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.57783 Wed, 28 Feb 2007 22:18:02 -0800 backhoe earthmover Anonymous
