An Interview with our Founder, Bandit Brady Q. How did you get your start in this business? Q. Were your parents supportive of your hole
activities? |
starting out and was still developing my technique so I can understanding their lack of appreciation.
Q. Tell us a little about that period.
A. Well like most young pups, I was unfocused, hadn't really decided on a career path. I
dabbled in small excavations in the middle of the yard, removed bushes and small trees and
the like. Gradually I found the greatest satisfaction coming from digging holes up
against other objects. Especially fences, but I always enjoyed house foundations too.
Q. What was your greatest challenge?
A. I had this one job where the homeowner was experiencing a squirrel problem and hired me
to check it out (small prey disposal is one of my side businesses). After tedious
surveillance, I determined that the squirrels were gaining access to the property through
the buried drainage pipes for the house gutters; the ends of the tubes were open in the
woods. I immediately excavated a access area at the junction of the drainage pipe and
where it connected to the gutter coming off the house. It was only a small hole, 2 to 3
feet deep and as wide, but it exposed the drainage pipe and I settled in to wait, hoping
to surprise the rodents. I had other projects to attend to, so I had to leave and when I
came back the next day, I found the excavation not only completely filled in, but with 50
lbs of rocks on top! I was shocked to say the least. Who would have vandalized my hole? I
wasn't one to take adversity lying down. I removed the rocks, and re-excavated the hole,
making it larger this time. Came back next day and the same thing had occurred! Now it was
100 lbs of rocks instead of 50. "Must be those punk kids next door." I growled.
I made short work of that, and excavated a few more feet of the drainage pipe just
for good measure. Next day, hole filled in, 200 lbs rocks and wire fencing attached to the
house covering the whole area. Now this got my dander up. I'm not a quitter. I removed all
the obstacles and sat back. Maybe I needed a new approach. My eyes lit on the gutter
downspout. Yes...its only held onto the house by two brackets, if I remove about 20 feet
.... I got to work. I had just removed the 20 feet section of downspout when the homeowner
appeared. He seemed very upset, but I couldn't blame him. All this extra work I was doing
was really pushing up the bill and he couldn't afford it. We decided to suspend the
project. I was disappointed that I wasn't able to finish it, but it was a matter of
economics.
Q. Can you tell us what you have learned in the business?
A. Excavating holes is not for the weak willed individual. It requires planning skills,
athletic ability, patience, attention to detail, and an inner vision. The ability to
look sorrowful when you have placed a hole in the wrong place is always helpful. My
greatest satisfaction has come from visualizing the perfect hole, excavating it, and
settling in to enjoy it. Nothing finer in life, in my opinion.
Q. And your philosophy on life?
A. There is no such thing as a Bad Hole, just Good Holes in the wrong place or time!
