Being from the South, I am not familiar with this type construction. I assume the deep foundation walls are so that the footers are below the frost line? The areas inside the foundation walls will be backfilled to the floor level and the concrete floor poured on top? Here we would just use a simple monolithic slab foundation. Great work and very interesting to watch. Will the building walls be stud construction or post-and-beam?
As far as getting the smaller hoe inside the foundation, I think just dumping a truckload (or more) of rock over the concrete wall into the 'hole', and then having the hoe create its own path down the resulting heaped up pile would work well. Or use the bigger hoe bucket to push some of that rock pile into a sloping ramp.
