What happens here
Identify and remove existing ground anchors from the construction area. These anchors, which secured a previously moved building, are marked by fence posts. Attach a heavy chain with a turnbuckle and hook to the anchor and use the powerful track loader to pull them straight out of the ground. Repeat this for all anchors.
Goal: Extract all ground anchors from the building footprint
