Showerthought: Old school bucket vs. the new suction cutterhead on a job in Mobile

We had to clear a lot of old timber and rock near a dock. The bucket dredge kept getting stuck and needed a diver to help, adding a full day to the schedule. The suction dredge with a cutterhead just chewed through it, keeping us on track. Anyone else had to switch gear for a tough spot like that?

Absolutely! I had a plumber out for six hours once on a simple leak. The right person with the right gear gets it done fast. Trying to do it yourself just costs more in the end.
