People complain sometimes about how much a seemingly small job like that costs but, they don't realize the logistics of what it takes to get all the materials to the job site. Actually doing the job is just a small part. Looks good. Stay safe my friend.
You’re exactly right. Most of the expense of this jobs was materials and trucking. The labor is a small portion of it. Correct too the logistics are the biggest part of it. Appreciate you watching
@@A-ei7vm Galvanized pipe will still corrode. Single wide plastic pipe is fairly weak and should not be used under roads and driveways. Double wide pipe is strong and can be used under heavy traffic and heavy equipment and last much longer than any other. But double walled cost much more than any other. And cost is the main difference in types.
That’ll work!! It’s spring,,,, it’s warm/cold/wet/dry and looks like your area is not entirely unlike where I live,,,,,, WINDY!! When you have to dig the crawl space, if it turns out there’s 7 ft of good dirt (for example) and the next 2 ft are good digging as well,,,,, a basement is only a couple of grand or so more $$ and they double the floor space of a bungalow, or gain 33% if it’s a 2 story and they can move the mechanicals downstairs completely!! I have a buddy in retirement that said he would tell so many of his clients that wanted a building on grade only. He had, in his case, the argument that the footings go downtown just over 8 feet no matter what for the frost line on residential footings. He is already there except for removing the bulk in the middle,,,, that he has to remove a couple of feet regardless to create a base for the concrete slab the for the floor of the house. He said maybe 80% of those people went with basements,,, even if the never finished them as it was a huge storage area and they could the use their garages!!! Haha. Just a thought anyways. Put the 2150 to work for sure then!! Haha I laughed so hard as you were stripping the grass and grading the bank for the culvert in “high speed” and then, as if you were getting p*ssed off, you beat the living crap out of the poor bush that was in the way!! 😂😂😂 It was quite cartoonish/slapstick!! My level of mentality!! For sure,,,,,. Heh heh. Looks like a bit of a drive, but some worthwhile jobs to do out here!! Sweet!
Yeah that’s what I asked him. The crawl space is about 3.5’ when we finally hit good clay but with the fall on the land they are going to have to build the yard up a lot. 🤣🤣 it did look like I was beating the piss out of that tree. Appreciate you watching as always
@@eliteearthworksllc - I just heard something interesting, I KNOW will make your head spin!! In Northern Sweden they have to bury water lines 6 metres (20 feet) !!! Auugghhhh. You are gonna need a bigger machine!!! Hahaha. That or stay where you are,,,, your choice really,,,, heh heh.
Hi Brandon Thanks for the answers in that video repairing the broken sewer line. Always learning.Fortunately we don't have that problem here in Portugal and here building with wood it's more expensive than bricks or even concrete! Don't know if you remember some while ago I talked about the tilt rotator and that would be good but probably too expensive!? I've seen now a video about a tilt attachment and I was thinking, looking at this video, that would great for this job. It would serve for buckets and the other attachments you have already. Once again don't know prices but certainly cheaper than the tilt rotator! Nice result in this job as always! Cheers from Portugal
You are welcome! Yes they tilt rotators and tilt buckets would be extremely handy but they have got more expensive now like everything else. I think I tilt rotator for the 260 is around $40k now. Very pricey. Appreciate you watching
Looks good to me, if I tried cutting those flares, would not look pretty. Owners may think about raising the foundation enough to help with water shedding. Then could use scrapped off top soil around the house. As my father use to say, easier to put extra soil to grade, stay safe.
Thank you! Yes I got the crawl space dug out now. I probably have 40 loads of really good dirt. And 20 or so of clay. Should have plenty for the yard. Appreciate you watching
Brandon, scraping that ditch while sitting sideways in the slope was like riding a teeter totter. Did you have to use hand controls to keep from being pitched through the windshield? What highway was that? Most of the state highways have a paved shoulder. We got another 1 1/2” of rain this weekend… I hope you already had the construction drive put in. Let’s hope we get a little sunshine this week. You polished that apple like a schoolboy striving to be teachers pet! That’s a great start to the classes yet to come.
@@eliteearthworksllc Newton County… that figures. Just drive down Newton road, east of highway 59. Every road on the Jasper County side (north) is paved with good drainage and road signs. The roads on the Newton County side are all dirt. They have no gravel. They are graded once a year. Because they plug the ditches every time they grade the roads… the roads are the ditches. But, when you get closer to the county seat in Neosho (where the road commissioners all live…) the roads are a lot better!
Hi, I like your work but I have an issue with leaving sharp ends for someone to get cut or severed on. If someone was to get hurt they would go after who modified the culvert .I suggest putting edge covers on $25 for 25 ft with metal grippers inside( Amazon). I have experienced cuts from culverts I did my self ,never again,
When you say it needed a 10' radius entrance, Where is that radius from? Im imagining a point, 10' down the ditch past the pipe excluding the 3:1 pipe slope or 10' past the driveways width on each side?
What state are you in? I’m in Kansas wanting a wider entrance off state highway 92. I was told I cannot have 40 foot, only 25. Mine has been in 47 years and it’s 19 feet now. My daughter drives a big 50,000 pound Dutch Star RV. It would be nice getting in and out of decent sized driveway. Good job.
Thank you! I’m in Joplin Missouri. A wider driveway would definitely make it easier to get in and out of. 40’ isn’t bad I’m surprised they said you couldn’t have one that wide
14:44 I bet the guy in that Mule Pro FXT was wondering why the heck you had your boom and bucket hanging out in the road lol.
and the black car coming the opposite direction right after...holy moly. Talk about a game of chicken.
@@sisco_rl7160 probably so 🤣
Has to be a bit of a challenge working off a highway, fortunately it didn’t look too busy!
Yes it was. I was definitely glad there wasn’t much traffic
Turned out nice, glad to see the broom handle fits your hands. Lol
Thank you! Oh yes along with a shovel and rake 🤣

State roads have there rules for sure. Great video Brandon.
Yes they do lol
I love how they are using galvanized pipe instead of double walled plastic. Ensuring its replacement in about ten years.
I know lol maybe someday they will come around. I think it’s one of those we’ve always done this way thing 🤣
how come the plastic pipe is better than galvanized steel? sorry, I'm new to this and trying to learn off of youtube lol

@@charleslloyd4253 Oh I see, thanks!
After watching this I remembered I forgot to send your package!!😂 Helpful addition coming soon!
Thanks man! 😁
Really nice base clay. Good video.
Yeah it was great stuff!
Nice 👍. I like how there not a lot of traffic there !
Yes me too very nice to work on
Good work bud, that ditch is definitely silted in, what you did is the best part of that ditch now, great job,clean💪🇺🇸
Thanks man! Yeah the ditch is long over due for some maintenance lol

Deep ditch, nice work. That will be some driveway when finished.
Yes it was a big ditch. Lots of work on the driveway it’s very soft there lol. Appreciate you watching
Another job well done 👍👍
You're Dad is keeping you busy.👍
Thank you! Yes he is 😁
Very nice! I saw you raking that mud and thought boy that sucks right there...
Lol yeah that was a pain
Looks great, dealing with the city or state you have to do what they tell you on building anything 👍.
Thank you! Yes you do they have lots of requirements lol
Looks good weather not good 👍🏻🇺🇸
Thank you!
Nice job, Brandon

Thank you! Oh yeah I bet they have lots of requirements

Nice job, looks good, and I bet cutting those culvert ends was a pain.
Thank you! Yes it was. Tough to get a nice straight line with that concrete saw lol

It was DD which is off State Highway Y between Seneca and Neosho. I was confused when I titled this lol I thought it was still a state highway

Thank you! That’s not a bad idea. I liked the dirt up against that edge to help hide them a bit.
Smooth looking ramp. Ever get the feeling to get the motorcycle and just sending it?
Thanks! Lol that would be fun!
Great work there, guys. Thanks for sharing. Did you enjoy having an audience ? lol
Thank you! Lol yeah I had one all day 🙄🤣
Assum work you do
Thank you!

It’s 10’ past the driveway width out where it meets the street

Looks like there is a waterway you are going to have to deal with when you put the drive in.
Yeah there’s a pretty swale running through there. Might be interesting
Did the state furnish the pipe? Would they have put it in if the landowner waited long enough?
No they just tell you where to put and what size pipe they need. The owner has to purchase all of it
Hey Brandon, do you have any of those grey Elite Earthworks T shifts for sale? They’re nice!
No not yet I need to order more I just keep forgetting to call and do that. Lol I will one of these days
@@eliteearthworksllc I would definitely buy a few and even a sweater!
@@georgeenriquez612 I’ll let you know when I get some in
@@eliteearthworksllc Thank you!
That looks pretty narrow for a State Highway. Barely any shoulder too.
It’s very narrow I’m sure if it still is or it’s so old it was grandfathered in lol
I can never remember your excavators. Is that your bigger one or the small one?
It’s the smaller one. They look just alike
Looks great Mr elite. That must be Dad truck it is not as clean as yours
Thank you! Lol yes it doesn’t get washed as much
Looks like it’s not a very busy road. Take that any day.
Yes very low traffic which is good
🙂🙂🙂
Thanks!

А зачем солому раскидали, для чего? И, вообще надо и дальше в поле дорогу делать, но я вижу и у вас ещё грязно на полях.
The straw reduces soil erosion during rain and holds the moisture so that the grass seed can sprout.
