Failing to Build a Bomb Shelter #1

What happens here

With the pipe successfully unloaded, the Kubota SVL 75-2 skid steer, still using fork extensions, is carefully used to transport the 1000-pound pipe across the property towards the excavated trench. The path requires navigating narrow spaces between buildings and existing landscaping, as well as traversing a sloped grassy area. The operator, Alex, must maintain constant control and balance due to the pipe's length and weight. One of the forklift tines is maneuvered inside the pipe to provide maximum stability during transport, ensuring it doesn't slide off or become unstable.

Goal: Carefully move the large pipe to the edge of the excavated trench.
