The benefit of having a contractor that posts on youtube: a record of where the utilities run to the house. Thanks Mike.
Great video thanks for sharing have a great day and stay safe out there
I love watching this video, Great scenery from on top of the hill. Very interesting, allot of activity. Thank you for sharing.
Keep the sun to your back if you can-better visibility. Up or downhill may not matter. Great interaction with the utility people.
My neck of the woods we have to put water line deeper for frost line. And no joint trenches with electric or gas. Red tape for electric, yellow for gas ,etc. Doesn't matter starting from top or bottom
Top to bottom trenching. Isaac Newton figured it out centuries ago. It's called "gravity". Enjoy your videos 👍👍👍👍👍
At 68 years of age my experience in life tells me starting at the top was always more preferred than starting at the bottom :-)
Greetings from the back-roads of Tennessee :) John here.
Awesome watching craftsmen doing what they do. Every kid with a Tonka truck’s dream job. Thanks for sharing.
Great Sunday mornin vid!!!! Up.the hill.... down the hill......up the hill.....down the hill!!!!!
WOW! I would never have guessed that trencher bucket @ 10 inches (nice job!) AND more beneficial explanations of what/why you're doing what needs to BE done. Enormous amount of work that has to go in just so someone (a Family) can turn on a faucet, plug in an appliance and turn on a light. Some of us think about those things and are grateful to have them. YOU? You, provide it! Thanks. Sonny
Thanks
great site, can imagine the wind up there!!
My late Uncle owned a 100' wheel bucket trencher on tracks and dug trenches all over northern Ill. He got into it as no one else was healed to buy the beast! He and his brothers did well and are all retired or gone. He did a lot of work for the Turnpike system and others. That little slot was small :-) Cool implement you created.
Wow, you are going to have 100,000 subs by the end of the year!
Getting there slowly
The weather can definitely play havoc I am from the South & wevhave seen some really really cold weather for us & I agree the wind can be BRUTAL
Well designed trenching bucket. Gets It Done.
Dat wind sounds BRUTAL. & freezing especially out in the open exposed land
Good morning Mike. Thanks for the video!
Thanks
Capt K has a angle meter so we can see what angle he’s working on 👍👍
Anybody with a smart phone can have one. Just download a free bubble level app and it has degrees of incline on it. 😎
Great video! Enjoy your Sunday! We always try to start at top of hill and dig down when using the excavator. If we are using the trencher attachment for the skid steer we start at the bottom most times.
Terraced drainage was nice. Functional, as well as tying in tastefully with the land.
I realize how sequence and circumstance affect the order of work in a complicated job like this. As a result watching it on video is like being down in the weeds while a battle takes place overhead. The drone shot tied it all together... scope, slope and layout popped right into focus!
Nice job of presenting this project. And... it was entertaining as well!
HELLO from las Vegas Nevada, one more great job and video, thank you, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Thanks
Thank you for reading the comments.
Good morning DP and the whole crew. Sunday greetings from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲
Good morning buddy
It's so weird watching this video after watching the live a month or so ago. The site looks awesome. Great job, great video Michael. Look forward to the next one!
Thanks
from the Netherlands thanks for the video DP
wind chill is no joke. great work guys and thanks for the vids. cheers.
I usually dig uphill simply for the way the rock lays around here. Many times to go downhill here you will have to hammer, but uphill you can get under it and pull it.
What an awesome view 😲😲😲
Ryan consider yourself fortunate. Mike rarely does manual labor. Lol God bless
One positive thought about the wind, the people who live up there won't need AC in the house.
For some reason 10° in January feels the same as 30° in April. Go fig.
So true
Awesome job and video. I just watched the video of you, Chris and Wade on the Volvo 950. What a machine. You guys reminded me of playing in the dirt with my 2 brothers and all of our Tonka trucks and tractors. The toys get bigger and we get older.
...lookin' good, nice job, stay safe and have a great week...
Thanks bob
My 4 year old daughter is asking what happened to your funny winter hats? Great videos !
lol coming this winter
I don't do any digging anymore, but when I did, I preferred to dig down the hill. Except on the occasion that I had a fairly large machine that had street pads on it. Then it was not so much fun being in a 45,000 lb. sled that wouldn't sit still. track 6in. forward and slide 10ft.. Has a tendency to get that "butt pucker" factor into play...lol
That was a good grade to work on. Looks great and now for the house to be built.
I don’t know how much they are but they make a small hand held wind meter that indicates wind speed and temperatures.
Nice job! Bout one of them a week would work.
We call it a lazy wind.... why, it can't be bothered to go around you !!!!
Knife proved itself again, Matt and Aaron are doing canny on the plant, all work well together!!
I'm amazed everytime I see the trenching bucket work. We have lots of rock here, I wonder how well it would work here. Have you seen any manufacturer building a bucket like that? Great couple video on a great job.
Thanks and no I have not
I like that trench bucket, need to get one made up for my machine.
Great Job and Video! Stay Safe Guys!
thanks
I have to say DP you all do awesome work great video
Thanks
That’s going to be a perfect drive way hill to ride a sled down in the snow.
Check or location only maybe once every 10 years
I am from England and work in those temperatures most days even in the summer 😂
Hey MIke and you "Guy's", here in the great state of confusion. ILLINOIS, last weekend the bro-in-law and I had the drones out in the wind you're in to see how fast we could get the to go. My Mini2 topped out @ 63 Mph, the bro-in-law's Mavic2 topped @ 97Mph, with the tail wind, bring them back was no fun!!! About 5 Ft. of the ground at about 7 Mph. LOL. Long story short, I feel your pain with the wind!! Later!!!!!!!!
Great video Mike, that’s a lot of ditch! Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Thanks 👍
Nice job. Good video.
Glad you enjoyed it
DP Top to bottom, no doubt.
Perhaps an inclinometer like they use on rock crawlers would help to show the slopes you are working on.
A lot of equipment running you all work good together
Thanks
Fantastic job
Gonna be a nice ride in the winter. Matt can grade the snow off that one again
It depends if it is wet. Less likely to pull the machine around digging down, however if there is a chance of ground water or rain, dig uphill all day
Great video Mike 🇺🇲 another great job well done 🇺🇲
Thanks
I think that really makes more sense like you said when you’re digging on a hill dig down and everything rolls towards you.
Here’s a thought if they make them a grade meter to capture on camera to show the audience how steep the hill or the grade would help the audience to understand how steep the hill really is. Or drone footage may work as well.
Weld a piece on chain inside your trenching bucket and the dirt will just fall out easy
Awesome work Mike and the whole crew
Thanks
At least the cold wind would keep you from dealing with the airplane sized mosquitoes I was swatting at yesterday. A cab would be nice, either way.
As much as you badmouth your Volvo, what do I see! Chris and volvo letting you in his volvo video!🤣 that's love brother!
Lol don’t hate mine
It’s a good machine just different then my 120
Its only hard work if I do it said someone but it sure looks nice.... and drones are kinda most difficult to fly in that kind of windstorm... thermal dimension is what that is
For myself, I also prefer to start uphill when digging a ditch. It's also easier for myself to maintain fall when starting uphill
I prefer to dig uphill just because it makes backfilling a bit easier. Working with gravity instead of against it. I'm usually working with just a mini and 1 bucket so every little bit helps.
I think with your trenching bucket it would be easier downhill but if I was using a regular bucket I would prefer up hill so the dirt wouldn’t roll away from the bucket
Yeah we always go from top to the bottom
HELLO MIKE ITS IS RANDY AND I LIKE U VIDEO IS COOL THANKS FRIENDS RANDY
Hay do I worked on the north slope of Alaska for five years I worked outside in 158 below zero that's cold but the coldest I've been was a roof in santa Rosa California foggy wind and about 30 degree
I can weld or Dig either direction ,don't matter to me . Got to getter done . But I cannot drink beer with my left hand . It holds my Cigar .
I work from top down just because I like to be comfortable and the back of the seat feels like a recliner vs leaning forward on a trench
high voltage 1 phase 14000 volts with the fiber line in the same 10" wide trench, wow, here in Ont. Canada high voltage or secondary ( secondary underground can only run a max of 250 feet power lines can be in the same trench as the fiber and phone lines as long as the power lines are a long the wall of the trench on one side of a 36" wide, trench and the fiber line and phone lines are a long the wall of the other side of the trench 30" a part, and back filled in place, with clean red clay, no rocks, if rocky ground must be bedded back filled with 10" of sand, 5" under and 5" on top
they clam, if a power leak shroud happen, the person on the phone/computer dont get fried, same with the fiber, phone, coax can be tied together with tie wraps. water can also be on the fiber side but 6 feet below, total water line depth 7 feet, that 6" wide warning strip is $90 cnd 500 fot roll. the power company will not do any line work on privet land, they will hook your wires to there wires and set the transformer, be it on your 45 foot transformer pole or a ground set transformer, they will tie your secondary wires to there transformer, that it, you have to dig every thing buy your own wire, weather it be ACSR OR WMU90 SECONDARY, THEY ALSO WILL NOT HOOK UP OR INSTALL any thing but thee transformer and hook your lines to it, you have to supply and put in your own cables, hook them up or get a contractor that will charge the living hell out of you, i installed my 3 high voltage ACSR line, insulators, ankers. MY 3 POLES, 2 40 FOOT AND ONE 45 FOOT FOR THE TRANSFORMER. I installed the meter mast with triple 500 copper up the pole to my double lug 400 amp meter base i installed, you have to leave hydro withe an extra 6 feet of cable post the head of the mast, in order to pass inspection to get hooked up to there wires, only to have hydro guy come to hook your lines to there and chop off you triple 500 to 2 feet out the head, like wtf that stuff is $22 cnd per foot and there is 3 of them,, then ran WMU90 213 feet to my shed were i installed a 200amp main panel, a second run 250' of WMU90 from the meter as well TO WERE MY SHOP WOULD BE and put the 200amp main panel in a small shead that would supply all the power to the shop if it ever got built, the shed would only hold my huge air compresses and the 200 amp panel were all feeds would feed plugs lights pumps welders exct.. it was placed center of the south side wall, so wire have a shorter run each way in the shop, i up graded a friends hydro service from 100 amp to 200 amp, ment changing the meter base, main panel, bigger mast and bigger alumunum service cable, had to leave 6 feet of service cable out the end of the mast head in order to pass inspection before they will hook you back up. they come to hook him back up and first thing they did, chop that extra 6 feet down to 2 feet.. another time a meter base burn off the contacts, had to install a new meter base, hydro came to cut of power witch left just over 3 feet of cable out the head, inspector wouldnt pass it, said i need 6 feet, i said why the hydro boys are going to chop it off to 2 or 3 feet, there was no need to replace the old cable other then he wanted 6 feet out the top, i had a roll of cable on hand so he waited the 15 min it took me to replace it, he passed it called in the boys to hook him up, yup they chopped it of at 2.5 feet, grrr it was 40 below
In the UK we would put those cables inside tubes, any problems or upgrades in the future they can be removed and replaced ,well worth the cost of the tubes.
Depends on the location
I would dig down hill if possible. Shouldn't make much difference. On second thought It makes it nicer if the backfill the meter pit pipe area with sand. Let's you know when you are close to the pipe. Cleaner too
Not sure if it matters but I start at the bottom and go to the top..... Our water lines have to be 48" bare minimum, but our electric only has to be 18"
Just watched Chris's video of the Volvo . Good to see you guys all together !!! My question is did you get to film a podcast with him ???
No not this trip but have others planned
Hey Mike, I never thought you or the others out in the elements on that job, were whining or crying about the cold...
Cold is one thing, but when you get wind with cold, that can be brutal...
I would feel for anyone on an “open station” piece of equipment...
Just sitting out in it, no way to keep moving to get warmed up, and that wind just beats ya...
Now, now Mike, go easy on the boy doing the back filling, he “shines” bright when he is behind a welding rod/torch...
He will come around to the dirt work...
lol
Would love to see what this site looks like. When everything is all said and done.
I was always thought top to bottom
Nice job as usual
Thanks
Another awesome video
Thanks
As always, a great vedio 👍
Thanks
SALUDOS D.P. ANOTHER JOB WELL DONE. G.B.Y.
Thanks 👍
I know for chipping Ice out of a gutter with a backhoe its easier to go downhill. You could always try an angle finder like Capt, tried in a couple of his videos.
Great work again, guys. Well done
Glad you enjoyed it
Definitely prefer to work downhill on steep grades. Let gravity help dig.
With that much of an upgrade, has the water company a booster pump close?
No need plenty of psi
That house on top of that hill is going to be very cold in the middle of winter with a 10 mile per hr wind. 🥶🥶
Should not if built right
Well now Mike, whichever way the sun is out of your eyes, retired now but that's the way I used to do it on the rare occasion that I had a choice usually there's no choice in the matter LOL
It’s going to be great to see Lieutenant Dan hauling rock in to the job site. What’s you think? Another six months before he is up and running?
At least just been busy
ωραια δουλεια 👍👍👀😉👌
this would be a good job for the D4G to fill in the tranch faster
Catch one trench on the front stroke, one trench on the back stroke, that means DP is a two stroke.
It doesnt matter, only what you like, thats what matters.
To answer your question, I don’t think it matters if you from top to bottom or vise versa. It depends on how the operator fells ya know
A "WISEMAN" my father, once told me "What's behind you is not in front of you". With that said, I vote to go up hill. Later Guy's, keep me laughing, keep um coming. : }: }
Everywhere you dig a waterline, it seems you have city water. I live in a suburban area of PA and if you live out side of a town you need to dig a well. Almost seems like it would be cheaper to dig a well than to dig that trench and install all that plumbing.
30 grand or 2500 ish 🤷♂️
Just a thought Mike - Would the power guy not have been better going down the other side of the trench as it would obviously be easier to just push it straight into the hole without any dirt mounds being in the way?? Great seeing the home made trencher at work again. Cheers. Stay safe and well
No don’t think that wold work
aaaand thats why you bring a smooth bucket for that kind of work. (the waterline) ^_^
Well done though. both of you :)
Thanks
I’m kind of like to start at the top and work my way down makes everyone happy
Laying Utilities is a hectic time seems .... when we lay them that means that the customer should be starting to see their project come together and are really wanting progress ..... final grading an reclaim is a rewarding time with finishing up but most of the time the customer is tired and getting broke! lol
personally it does not matter bit if I have ppl laying line behind me I try and go from tap to the meter but downhill easier cuz you have gravity on your side
and if there is a lot of groundwater like we have I try to dig and let the water run down. all kinds of factors in that
