My next gig is on a beachfront project, worried about my digger sinking.

I've got a contract for a construction job right on the shore. Never operated in sand before, and I'm hearing stories about equipment getting stuck. Any tricks to keep things moving smoothly without downtime?

Is it really that bad? I've seen big machines work on beaches before. Maybe you're overthinking it?

Oh man, you have no idea. Those big machines just push sand around for a few weeks until the next big storm. It's like trying to sweep the driveway with a hurricane coming. Total waste of time and money.

Tell him sand just laughs at plans, @andrew_hall37 is right.

Ever notice how everyone's an expert until it's their problem, @theas28?
