Always nice to come home after putting up a tv wall mount for elderly (he hee, I'm 69 myself) friends of my wife and there's a Chris Letsdig18 episode popped up on my feed. The Bealy Good farm seems to be a never ending pay check for Chris. He even had a fellow RUclipsr helping.
A buddy of mine purchased a dozen Conex boxes a few years ago to make a cover garage for his farm equipment. He stacked them two high and 40 feet apart, and then put a roof structure over the gap. Anyway to improve the looks of the Conex boxes he painted them with old time barn advertising art (think Mail Pouch Chewing Tobacco, Burmashave, etc)
Always a nice clean job when Chris is running the bucket. Was great to see Devan there with you guys. You should hire him to help clean up Jeff's other land. He's great with the mulching machines. Looking forward to the next phase of Jeff's (I mean Mrs. Bealy Good's) dream house.
There's nobody better with a mulcher, and now Chris has the same Cancela mulcher Davin has been using. It would absolutely be worth having him tackle that property, in my opinion.
I been living in West Tn for over 80 years done construction work, draw house plans and we have always called the thangs in the ground that you but the foundation on, , , FOOTINGS!!!
You do awesome work. You calculate angles better than anyone I've ever seen. It was nice to see Davin working with you. You are a joy to watch and I am fascinated seeing you make dirt do what you want it to. Thanks for sharing.
In the 70's I worked for a contractor digging footings for additions and patios. The shovel and pick were our tools, it sucked. Back breaking work hot and sweaty. Nice to see Geoff progressing on his home by the lake. That Yanmar is so cool and versatile. You make it all seem so easy.
The workspace on most of those additions was limited so no machine could get in peoples backyards and work the ground so it had to completed by hand. Fresh out of high school I had the stamina and energy to do the work.@@2wwwilly
Good work Chris, but as a concrete guy i hope put the adequate amount of rebar as concrete in there, but that is a mammoth of a footer for a house specially on virgin dirt, looks good though im waiting on the concrete to start being poured.
I've always called them footings, and have only heard them called footings, and I live in Michigan. Anyway, anyone who hasn't checked out the Bealy Good channel should since there's a lot of content with Chris that you don't see here on Chris's channel. Like Geoff shows them setting up the footings, which you don't see in Chris's video. And there's usually a lot of funny stuff being said between Chris and Geoff, lol.
Any time there is a job problem or delay it is because of an Engineer. One of our local building inspectors held up my house foundation due to a few pencil sized roots in the trenches on one side of the base. Property owner puts stuff where they want it - contractor complains its always in their way. Excellent trenching Chris. Who is installing rebar?
Years ago there was an engineer who was famous, FLW, he designed a house, it had a 6” pipe in a 4” wall. My brother-in-law was the plumber trying to fix that. You should have heard him talk about what kind of a mess. Ended up being a beautiful home.
Evil me ! - Just thought of a different bucket design. A flat edge like you are using and the addition to it are retractable teeth. A pair of lines (thumb) send out and retract teeth so digging hard pack rock dirt one can use teeth for a while and when getting close retract and scoop flat edge. Evil Me !
Man, that looked like a pain in the ass to get laid out...lolol... But, you got it all lined out for him , it looks like... Another one well done !! Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening, And On too the Next....
Hey Chris & Geoff !!! Where's the dump trailer & Geoff's Tractor to haul away the dirt that will be in the way when they put the footers in place ?? HAHA Great job & hope the lines are right !!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Oh wow... I'm glad to see you back on this BealyGood Mansion job. I had expressed some disappointment that you were just doing the excavating work because I was hoping to see the whole thing. I got an answer that said they'd be filming it... but... what, do they have a YT channel? Is it the builder's channel? I hope you provide a link for us when you have one. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I wouldn't have a side dump because they limit how to access the dump site i.e. if you can only back into a site then the side dump will only dump on the left of the tractor. Bottom dumps are better.
First time seeing idig4 so that was an interesting twist, ya now it was probably easier to build a wallmart there than all the fiddly bits for this mansion bro. Safe travels. Ken.
Back in the 80's the labor force was the leftovers from the looped out druggies of the 70's. I helped a guy build a house in the 80's and his looped out friends wired it and installed the sheet rock. One of those morons left a wind chime in the wall that would sing every time the wind blew. If you have friends that help build a house, be sure they don't have a looped sense of humor!
It is to see, You have a great to Know and to understand by the to dig out from House Foundation. Your Work is Exactly to Planing. You the Master Excavator Driver 💪👍👌Thanks for this Video.
I have a delicate eye operation that requires immediate attention my surgeon is snowed under with a backlog of work I was wondering if you could help him out using that bucket.
The first time I heard about bureaucrats that make you jump though circles with permits inspections and all that BS I laughed my ass off and when they swore it was true I had to call a few of my fellow retired Seabee friends to get the low down they verified it was real! Here in Alaska they would not dare to tell me how and where to build ANYTHING! They know better!
Not even all the money that Jeff has can get him past the red tape. Like everybody else, he's got to follow the rules because if something was done wrong he'd be the first one to complain. That's why we have all the rules and I don't know where he gets some calling footers but where I come from their footings.
Geoff, (and Chris) - that’s gotta be one of the worst parts of being a RUclips content creator - you are never gonna be right! The “internet experts” will all tell you so…
Chris, You are 100% correct! They are Footings! Keep up the Great Work!
Footings! Always has been, always will be in this application.
I am happy for Jeff's Family. Breaking ground on dream home.
Always nice to come home after putting up a tv wall mount for elderly (he hee, I'm 69 myself) friends of my wife and there's a Chris Letsdig18 episode popped up on my feed.
The Bealy Good farm seems to be a never ending pay check for Chris.
He even had a fellow RUclipsr helping.
So glad they covered "China Shipping" on the container with the American Flag, nice cool touch :-)

“Tell me when it starts to sound expensive and I’ll stop 10:30 !!? That was a super statement LMAO😂😂❤
you would do well in the UK we call them footings LOL great as always cheers Chris
Complicated project, to say the least. Interesting! Luv the mini. Perfect digging as usual. God's blessings.
Chris, I think you just use the laser as a backup. Your eye is so precise for grade. Remarkable. Great job.
Always a nice clean job when Chris is running the bucket. Was great to see Devan there with you guys. You should hire him to help clean up Jeff's other land. He's great with the mulching machines. Looking forward to the next phase of Jeff's (I mean Mrs. Bealy Good's) dream house.

Great seeing @idigit4 dropping by. Nobody does mulching better. Nobody builds ponds better than Chris. Love both channels.
Thanks for helping me with figuring out Devin's channel.
Mr. B. is lucky to have Chris digging this "footsie" job! 😂❤
Definitely nice seeing Strawberry shortcake earning her keep.
Chris you just always impress me with the thing you can do with a machine. The 45 angles look so good. Very nice job my friend.

What is Davins RUclips name do you happen to know by chance?
@@TomBennett1 IDigIt4
@@Vickie-Bligh thank you. I knew that the guy looked familiar.
nice precise digging Chris, glad you fixed the container, it looked a bit dodgy back when Geoff did it..
And, the building starts!! Going to be one documented footer dig!!
I agree with you Chris. Just like you, in the Great Lakes area we DO call them footings. Sorry Mr Bealy, he he. Of course, he IS the homeowner.
Looks like this home is going to be rather large, can't wait to see these footings completed.

Hey Chris, Finally some progress! Looking good! Should be interesting to watch this ICF way of building! Thumbs up! Stay safe. Jim
When the man doing the work is a skilled perfectionist, it’s always going to be a good day
Good times with good friends! Dosen't get any better than that!
Take care Chris,God Bless ya Brother!!!❤😊
Love the video on BealyGood Mansion , very good job on the trench .
Thanks for the update sir, as always, nice clean, accurate, well planned job site, a pleasure watching.
Great to see Davin there. And so it really begins😊🥰
This looks like an archaeological dig site. 😆
You guy’s crack me up…each filming for their channel…but we your fans appreciate it…👍👍♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸
The FOOTINGS look fantastic.
Good work Chris, but as a concrete guy i hope put the adequate amount of rebar as concrete in there, but that is a mammoth of a footer for a house specially on virgin dirt, looks good though im waiting on the concrete to start being poured.
3 pieces of #5
THERE'S NO WORDS TO PUT ON HERE HOW PHENOMENAL FANTASTIC JOB THAT U DO FOR PEOPLE &CONTACTOR. U R TOTALLY AWESOME UNBELIEVABLE.
Chris, digging those footings really shows your ability to do precision work with an excavator, my congrats on a job well done.
Footers😂 even Bealy called them footers, "footers Chris"😂
We call them footings in Australia
In West Virginia they call them unnecessary!
@@alisciamarotta3888It's footings as Chris correctly said. He is the professional not Bealy Bob.
This reminds me of the 3 stooges... just a bit more amusing!

Mr Bealy Good does a great job on his channel.
Thanks 😊
You have a very deft touch with the mini and the grading bucket, great job
I'll stop when it starts to sound expensive-- great one! :):)
Yeah it turned out all right. Looking forward to the rest. 👍👍🇨🇦😊
that boy out of the ditch and away from the machine, always the same. and that machine more revs. Very good work

@@dirtfarmer7472lots of fun engineering stories.
Frank was no engineer and he appreciated them.
He ‘had the engineer as the engineer had the book’, or something like that.
Sounds like you’re digging in a creek bed Footers look good as usual. Thank you.
I wish we had that kind of dirt here in Missouri! All we have is rock…
Loved the back push technique to keep the trench neat. good work! :D
Chris, do you charge extra when the property owner want to be involved?? Just asking for a friend. 😆😆😆
Just like the signs in the old time service stations, labor rate $50.00 per hour. $75.00 if you watch. $100.00 if you help.
I get a price reduction if I let the concrete contractor use my Bobcat, but I stay out of his way otherwise.
@@tomrogers9467 $200.00 / hr if you tried to fix it first.
Ha😮ha
@@nicholastuttle2445😂
Another good video. Thank you for sharing that with us. See you on the next one.😊
It will be nice to see this home come together.
Great job Chris and Davin hopefully made Geoff happy great video
Good to see ole Davin on the channel, good fella! Nice work and it looks great! 😀
Here we go! 😅
Congrats Jeff! "Baby steps"
Sure looks absolutely perfect when we have Chris on a jobsite.
Congratulations Mr @BealyGood on another step completed.

Damn. You only need 1’ in the ground for frost protection. We need 4’ in the ground up here in Massachusettes.
Thank you my friend

Hey Chris how about an update on Justin. Have not seen him on any of your videos in some time.
Justin is busy working I would think, he has his own business Justin west constructions
Nice,could not ask for more.great video 👍👍👍😎😎😎

"...sounded expensive when you pulled up!" ; ^ )))
It’s a miracle God bless you guys always ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

Nice job Chris.
WE use "Footers" and "Footings" both here in Georgia, We know it doesn't mean roof or decking. 😅
I wish there was an un-sped up version to watch. I like looking/listening to in while I work on stuff.
I adjust the playback settings to .25 or .5 and it slows it down
I can see Canada from my house and we say footings or footer. Footer is usually used as a word processing term.
First time seeing idig4 so that was an interesting twist, ya now it was probably easier to build a wallmart there than all the fiddly bits for this mansion bro. Safe travels. Ken.

I’m no building expert Chris,but I reckon they are called ‘Footings’ & I’m from England.🏴
It never fails to amaze this northern boy how shallow you put your footers (footings?) in down south....
Now don't forget. You have to cut the footings out so that you can pour the footers. That way the footers will keep you on a good footing.
Nice work. I know who too call for footings.
Would be a pleasure to follow your site prep, hardly need a shovel. Ray Stormont
What bucket and rotator and you running that aloows thumb to remain on machine???
Men at work very important minds at this job
Looking good Chris
Thanks nice job.
I've always known them as footings, they tend to be continuous.
Looks cool Peace out
Actually Jeff, we call them footings out West as well.
Wow, that a house or a circus tent? Guess you could drive the homeowner nuts by telling him to pee in the corner...
Best regards from Indiana.
Yes
Nice job guys, I like your shows.
Once you get all the trenches dug for the footers..... THEN the big rains will come and fill them with water. 🙃
Where I live that usually happens . The water can be pumped out. All of the muck it washes in is the problem.
At around 36:38 Chris shows the dug out, to "daylight" to let the water run out, in the event that it does rain.
That is one crazy foundation excavation.
Good morning everyone and I hope you enjoyed your day ❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂
