Redneck Wheelbarrow

There is some construction happening on our office complex, so we have plenty of machinery (and dust) moving around our area. No biggie, new construction is a part of economic growth. I often take a look out the window to see how things are moving along. Today it was quiet for a bit, and since I knew they have multiple machines working on some excavating, it piqued my curiosity.
Here is the scene I saw:
For a closer look:
The worker was digging something out and throwing the dirt into the bucket of his big rig. Pretty expensive cost on that choice dirt mover I’d say. It may go a little faster, say, if you used the power of that machine to actually do the digging. Just a white collar schmo making a guess though, so maybe I just don’t know.
Ok, in fairness he was likely having to do some detail work that the big bucket couldn’t navigate, but I still found it pretty funny.
He’s digging around some electric wires (notice box behind him). Hard to be precise with a shovel bigger than the one in his hands. However it is pretty silly to see this out of context.
