Diggin’ basements is dirty work.... getting them exactly right is Dirt Perfect work. Totin’ the dirt over the far hill is a great way for NYA Millennial to learn how to be well above average! And, MBTS to steal a scene or two! Mikey... you and the crew done fine work!!!
Love the flyover, start-to-finish, and the excavation plan on this one! Very few basement X videos on YT and most only give one little slice of the job. Viewers don't get to see the full picture. You're #1 for basement excavation videos!
What you should have done is .....Oh Wait! You are DP "Dirt Perfect" ROCKING it With the Equipment you relie on to Make a living and feed your Family. Good Job. Thank you for the vide DP!
i had no idea i could be entertained by a group of guys moving dirt its become one of my favorites to watch and you have a rock-solid crew that would have your back in any situation I look forward to every video you put up thanks
That was a big cut. You guys kicked it, especially considering you had to push all of it and had some bad weather to boot. Not bad at all. MBTS's seemed to find his groove fairly quick too.
I have run an excavator a total of 4 times in my 59 years.. Having an appreciation of the skill it takes to do this and watching you effortlessly swing that bucket is very satisfying indeed! It almost makes me want to jump on my future septic tank replacement project.. Almost..;)
Nice to see a basement that will have a decent height and not be way above grade. Awesome work by your whole team. Sure enjoy the vids, education and to see fella having a good time while working and doing a great job.
Not many houses in Texas have basements, Just crawl spaces or a single car garage. Coming from East Tennessee most every house had a basement. I would love to have a basement. My current house if dug out to street level, I think a full standup basement could be achieved. The 3 houses North of me are higher than mine and they drag bumpers going in and out in anything less than a truck.
Good morning Dirth Perfect and the crew, fellow viewers and subscribers. Greetings from Jamaica 🇯🇲. See u off to a good start for the year, as you said sometimes now , lot of projects on the books this year . 👍👍
Nice job on punching out basement. Sort of an uneven match between excavator and dozer. Work with what you have. The tables could have been turned Arron could have been on D8.
Thank you, Even if I don't get out anymore I still like to watch a home come together . I can smell all that fresh soil still. Always interested in new ways to do old things Central California Watching
I don’t what it miss a second of this doing it the you would do it. Love the way you explain tings. Some of the things you take about I never even knew had to be done.
Hey Mike, have you thought about a boom mount for your laser. They're not 100% but it saves you jumping in the hole to check grade. It would help you put some more pressure on that dozer.
excellent vid, I really enjoyed you laying out the thought process regarding hauling the 850 in. sometimes bigger is NOT the most efficient. with that being said, if you knew then what you know now, would you have chosen to incur the transport fees (I ask this NOT knowing what those fees would be) and let MBTS run the 850? in all honesty I THINK you would have kept up with him and avoided needing the skidsteer. but those fees may offset any gains. you explaining this type of stuff is a huge (to me) bonus in your vids. not just the work but the thought processes behind it. well done guys.
Great video Mike, Aaron and Millennial ! 28:30 Too bad the ICF didn't show up 2 days later and get stacked closer to the hole. Looking forward to the rest of this build.
Mike have you considered doing a blooper video ? I'm sure there's lots of hilarious outtakes from your videos we dont see. Maybe 1 a month or so 🤷♂️. Just an idea......Thanks for the wonderful content as always. 👍
I like your explanation/logistics of dirt removal/digs & fills. Can you explain how you layout your building footprints. When you compact fill what standard do you comply with? Can you explain how you calculate your top of footing from finish floor? Can you explain how you quote/bid some of your projects? Also as a suggestion for general info, consider a manufacturer tour of any equipment & or products you use!!! Looks like most of your work is residential!! Do you do any Commercial work? Not trying to compete, just an interested retired Architect. I’ve worked with a lot of civil engineers with grading plans & 90% of them have been off + & - . How do you deal with that?
Nice!! Most basements here are 7-9 ft excavations on flat ground, even our slab on grade👍a lot more frost here in Canada 🇨🇦 Loved that video DP Can’t wait to see the footers and ICF videos👍
I was thinking at the beginning in the Volvo, the glass look so clean ! 10 second later, DP ' cap'tain kleeman serviced the Volvo...' ok, got it... 😂😂😂😁😁
Mike You just needed to "borrow" that baby dozer at the bottom of the hill. LOL You would have had to dig faster then. I feel for you when you hit rock layers that are not running like you need them too. Luckily it was soft rock. Here we have mostly hard limestone. So it is either blast or grind if you need to go deeper. My son's house was supposed to be two foot lower in the ground. We hit a layer of flat limestone. It was cheaper to just bring in back fill around the house rather than try to dig deeper. The funny thing is that limestone layer was within two inches of being perfectly flat.
A whole lot of hole there !!!! Always play to your advantage, right plant for the right job. Matt and Aaron did well with the D4, you can tell hydraulic oil runs through your veins 😂 Aaron, how did you manage not to freeze up there, did you drink some anti freeze???? 🤔😂😂
I think what you have there is fine. In a perfect world a bigger dozer would be better, but like you said by the time you jump out check grade and social media he is caught right back up. 2 man crew staying efficient.
That doze does have a heater, it's called the exhaust pipe. I don't think MBTS needs a heater, he's swelled up with hot air.😂😂 Matt's learning on the doze, at least he hasn't drove it off in the hole.😂😂Great job guys.
Sometimes if you make a small path for the dozer to back around the pile of dirt from the basement you can increase your run time. That way you don't have to back over a pile of dirt then start pushing again. Hope this helps.
It would be interesting to see how many buckets or yards per hour the skid steer can move compared to the D4G. The skid steer moves much faster but moves less dirt. I bet the dozer is a better producer for the hourly cost to operate. Looks like an interesting job. They just finished a 30 plus foot tall ICF church building around the corner from my place. I bet the polystyrene walls make for good acoustics with the right type of sheetrock..
wow! Found a rich person in Ky? That is unusual. Specially for out in the country. Going to be fun to watch the progress on a basement to rafters build.
Michael, i will come and work for you for free if you give me those dozer instructions like you did Matt lol. another perfect basement hole, you make it look so easy.
Does that dozer have 2 speeds! I think you are correct with your dozer assessment. The small blade pushing a long distance would be a struggle to start but as you move closer to the hill the push becomes shorter. Jerry would have worked but the experience that was gained by Matt and Aaron working the dozer is way more beneficial to you for the future. The best experience is the one gained by actually doing the work.
Well I really Enjoy your Channel and continued success in your Job and on youtube, just think its really kewl your only a few hours away. And is Mrs Dirt been
👍😄🇳🇱 this is the workplace where in a previous video you and Aaron bring everything around with the Mack before the lowboy went into the workplace, right? where Aaron gave you points for backing up with the Mack / lowboy and commenting that you weren't driving over the gravel with the tires right? Thanks for the video Mike

Mikey... you and the crew done fine work!!!
Designing an ICF house now and was wishing you had a whole house series and now you do!
Yup have this one and one more coming
That dirt borders on digging rock. That's a lot of dirt to move. Looking forward to the wall build.
Love the flyover, start-to-finish, and the excavation plan on this one! Very few basement X videos on YT and most only give one little slice of the job. Viewers don't get to see the full picture. You're #1 for basement excavation videos!
You guys do great work as always and I really like your music selection .
Thanks
You make playing in the dirt enjoyable, never a dull moment, your crew looks like they are having fun too. Thank you
Great job Mike, Matt & Aaron. 👌👍👊
Thanks jay
Your music for this video rocked😍
Thanks
Great Video! Stay Safe Guys!
What you should have done is .....Oh Wait! You are DP "Dirt Perfect" ROCKING it With the Equipment you relie on to Make a living and feed your Family. Good Job. Thank you for the vide DP!

@@DirtPerfect i got a slang word for those who work in the dirt and mud muckadee mucks
That was a big cut. You guys kicked it, especially considering you had to push all of it and had some bad weather to boot. Not bad at all. MBTS's seemed to find his groove fairly quick too.
I’m a huge fan of your shop videos but it’s nice to see you guys playing in the dirt again. 👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks buddy
Aaron and I have something in common. We both have a little extra insulation around the middle. You were right thats a right deep basement.
You should have pushed with the 140 too. Maybe blade to blade lol. Good job guys.
Looking forward to seeing the next video 👍
Maybe rented a track loader?
Looks like you two are doing your best, with the tools at hand.
I have run an excavator a total of 4 times in my 59 years.. Having an appreciation of the skill it takes to do this and watching you effortlessly swing that bucket is very satisfying indeed! It almost makes me want to jump on my future septic tank replacement project.. Almost..;)

Anyone else glad the trailer project is done? Just kidding mike They were great videos. keep up the great work.
Thanks
Nice work on the foundation dig you guys are awesome🚜🚧👷

Thanks buddy
@@DirtPerfect Welcome . Just enjoying the race with the excavator and the dozer
Keep up the good work, every new skill you can learn is always a plus.
Matt Aaron You both got some valuable seat time. If you dont do it you can't get good at it Great job by all Thanks for sharing 👍
Nice job on punching out basement. Sort of an uneven match between excavator and dozer. Work with what you have. The tables could have been turned Arron could have been on D8.

Central California Watching
Interesting opperational video. Seems to be beneficial to get a machine mounted receiver for your laser.
Cover that very well in a upcoming video
Now that appears to be a proper tornado resistant house
Like you said the Dozer has a good bit to travel to push it! Give them a break!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol
Excellent job Mike that was a lot of dirt
Matt and Arron done dam great 👍
Thank you Donald
Good high spot..Ought to drain well..😎
Really like how you use the drone to show the in-progress
Thanks
Looking good
That's a big & deep basement! Good video.
I love to see a hard working crew having fun , your a good boss, waiting for the next one , I rang the bell, See Ya.
Thanks
I don’t what it miss a second of this doing it the you would do it. Love the way you explain tings. Some of the things you take about I never even knew had to be done.
Thanks
Great video, that’s one big hole. Aaron is looking pretty good on the machines, Matt is coming along pretty good also. Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Thank you Kevin
Looking good. Gonna be a nice series. Take care and have a blessed week
This project will be a good one!! Look forward to watching them all!!!
It looks good.
12:00 Love the instrumental music!!
Thanks
Glad you and the Volvo are gelling on some items.
Damn easy on Matt, I think we are taking "perfect" to another level.
Another awesome video . That is going to be an amazing view from that house .
Good job Mike. I like to hear you Talk nice about the volvo .
Hey Mike, have you thought about a boom mount for your laser. They're not 100% but it saves you jumping in the hole to check grade. It would help you put some more pressure on that dozer.
Stay tuned
Thanks for the great video Mike!
Thanks
That's a lot of dirt you moved in a few days especially when you had to doze it such a distance ! Nice job !!
I have been waiting to see this job, a loader would have been great to move all that dirt , great job fellas 👍😎
One for the Captain...😎
I really like the drone footage. That's a lot more dirt than you'd think of moving to dig a basement. Can't wait to see the ICF installation.
Thanks
WOW great job on that one
Love the Devo intro music. LOL
Nice work on the dirt work and also the filming!
I don't do any of this but man do I learn a lot.
Lol thanks

Really looking forward to seeing the big project. Concrete to the rafters, baby!
From the look of this and others you have done I think this is how I’d like to have a home built if I ever did
Great teamwork guys.
Great video, love watching.
Thanks
That's a deep basement good job
You really need Lt. Dan on this job!
Would not use it here
Great video Mike, Aaron and Millennial ! 28:30 Too bad the ICF didn't show up 2 days later and get stacked closer to the hole. Looking forward to the rest of this build.

Love how u boy always manage to get by ..run what u brung lol that's my entire mentality..peace n love from Cumbria uk
Nice!! Most basements here are 7-9 ft excavations on flat ground, even our slab on grade👍a lot more frost here in Canada 🇨🇦
Loved that video DP
Can’t wait to see the footers and ICF videos👍
ENJOYED THIS
Thanks
I was thinking at the beginning in the Volvo, the glass look so clean ! 10 second later, DP ' cap'tain kleeman serviced the Volvo...' ok, got it... 😂😂😂😁😁
I do believe you got it figured out. The Volvo for mass digging and the 120 for everything else. That 120 is a do everything machine.
Yup
Love the drone views😲
Thanks
im so excited!
...playin' in the dirt is always fun...lol...good one stay safe...

Aaron, how did you manage not to freeze up there, did you drink some anti freeze???? 🤔😂😂
Man you have no ideal how bad I'd love to be around when you dig up on hills around the river. Just to look through the dirt for arrowheads LOL
I think what you have there is fine. In a perfect world a bigger dozer would be better, but like you said by the time you jump out check grade and social media he is caught right back up. 2 man crew staying efficient.
Good trade out
I love watching this stuff. I've been in construction for over 25 years and I still enjoy watching it.
Thanks
That’s a lot of dirt! I dug one about like that last year with my mini, 36” bucket and single axle dump truck by myself. It took a few days!
That doze does have a heater, it's called the exhaust pipe. I don't think MBTS needs a heater, he's swelled up with hot air.😂😂 Matt's learning on the doze, at least he hasn't drove it off in the hole.😂😂Great job guys.
😂😂😂😂 rounds a shape too 😆😆
@@aaronbummmanbehindthescene4931 round is my favorite shape. I have a figure to maintain and an image to uphold.😂😂😂
nice job on the entire excavation , very professional on all your shots, music and drone shots. Good stuff
Thanks
