excavator

There, Boudreaux said, they found another backhoe and an excavator that had been reported stolen from Kings County.

The excavator inched after them, its roar slowly fading down the mountain.

Once the excavator moved away, the Red Cross workers stepped gingerly onto the mound of rubble, their backs stooped as they examined what remained of lives lived in what had been seven apartments.

The excavator needed to remove large rubble could barely make it up the steep, winding road to the apartment building.

Odell rented an excavator to slice the bottom of the slope into a cliff, shored up by the dirt excavated for the pool, along with recycled broken concrete and other rubble.
