Chris, HELP! I just saw DP’s latest video removing trees, transporting to a pile, and burning. You need to make him enroll in Letsdig18 School, and have tree removal, breaking trees, and hot fires classes! At least half the time in excavator was spent driving back and forth from knocking them down to the fire. His so called hot fire was a smoldering pile compared to your claimed hot fire!
I'm further up north, in Québec. I'm within the Appalachian mountains. There's very few places where we can dig without finding rock, but we do put in basements. We need to dig at least 4 feet to get below the frost line, so we'll be dealing with rock regardless of if there's a basement or not. Just about every construction company has a hammer somewhere on most worksites. It isn't unusual for blasting compagnies to come in first, drill the entire site and just blast it all. The rock we've got is rather hard and make good material for road base and landfill purposes. Most excavation compagnies have rock removal, land fill and street construction lined up at the same time. There's always somewhere for the rock to go. Given how hilly the terrain is, that's often the only way to get enough flat land to build anything larger than a small home.
Nos conditions de terrain ici sont tellement différentes des gars du Sud comme Chris ! Quand je le vois creuser dans tellement de glaise rouge friable, et tomber sur quelques veines de roche et qu'ils sont surpris, je rigole à chaque fois ! Sont gâtés en tab ! Je suis aussi Andrew Camarata qui est dans le nord l'état de NY, il est comme nous, avec de la roche de schiste en montagne. Designer/tech retraité en construction, j'ai fait plusieurs projets privés en Laurentides dont à Tremblant et région de Nominingue. Oh boy ! Du blasting, en v'là ! Je vis à Varennes, où ce n'est que de la glaise grise humide et collante jusqu'à 50' + des roches rondes. Chris paniquerait !
Couldn't forget that. They had to blast a good bit of it if I remember correctly and Chris was using the hammer a lot. It seemed like that job would never end.
I too was thinking of that animal hospital you did way back when. As you always do, it's nice to have an explanation of what you have to do and how you're going to do it. A man with a plan. 🤠Thanks Chris.
I used to keep a set of tiger teeth in the truck for ground like that....it helped pop that sandstone rock apart And the teeth hung out to the corners of the bucket helps keep the sides straight...
It’s not much better here in Pa. Just did a modular home and hit bedrock. Had to raise the house one course higher out of the ground than we had planned. Customer didn’t like it at first but once we graded it out we made it look good and they are happy. The joys of digging!
Hey Chris, we have a place here in Akron, Ohio that will take anything that don't have rebar in it. What they do is crush it into 1/4" piece size for use in blacktop.
One for sure, never have worry about settling off foundation on that corner of the basement. I guess all you can say is that “ it is what it is, deal with what’s in front of you.” Always something, thanks for the ride along sir.
We had family living in Roxboro, NC that insisted on building a house with a basement. Rather than blasting rock, they brought in dirt and bermed the house. Considering the possibilities, I guess hitting rock is better than water. Wishing you and your team better digs, gentle weather and restful evenings. Peace Chris
Did the same in my old neighborhood, torn down all the sm ranch houses to put 3 story mansions. But the septic wasn't very low so 1/3 of the basement out of the ground and back filled. Now you need to go up about 10 steps to go in the entrance. Looks stupid....
My grandparents house was built the same way. Built by a contractor/owner in 1929. This was in coastal NJ, so a berm was the best option. It is a beautiful house, still standing!
Glad John found a place to take the dirt. Too bad you can't take it either to the Bealy Good Farm or yours since you said you need fill as well. Nice job including the rock. I don't blame you for not wanting to beat up your machinery with rock digging.
Chris, we have the same type of ground in spots here in Michigan, we just use a ripper and switch buckets back and forth. Just a thought sir. Great job, enjoy watching your videos. Thank you
here in north western Ont. Canada 90% of homes and businesses have basements, we dont have rock that you can brake up with an excavator, itis solid bed rock, you bring in a track drill rig, and drill down 3 to 4 feet deeper then the bottom of the footer as you must have a few feet of compacted gravel then your 4" drain tile crossing the floor in an X and sewer and water must be under the footer below frost line 7 feet.plus. footer must be below as well. compact minimum one foot of washed 5/8 stone under cement floor. once the drill rig drills all the holes they're blown out with air and packed with TNT AND 8 FEET HIGH stacks RUBBER MATS AND PARK THE EXCAVATOR ON TOP OF THE MATES IF IN CITY, AND BLOW IN STAGES, timed WITH EVERY BLOW THE EXCAVATOR JUMPS UP ..

Wow 7’ of frost that’s crazy, down here in Wisconsin we have deep frost till like 4’ maybe 5’ in driveways but most snow covered lawns or fields maybe 2’ to 2.5’ at most. (if we even get snow during the winter that is) had maybe 12” to 15” all winter.
@@crandonborth yup our frost line is 7 feet, even with our water lines down 8 feet we still get a number of water line brakes in the winter on the roads/street. when i did my land i putt my water lines and power lines down 12 feet as i knew i was going to rent a D8 and be places id cut 2 to 4 feet off,. my fence post for my live stock are only down 4 feet and many time some get pushed up.. 8 foot power ground rods get pushed up 4 to 10 inchs some winters ice 5 to 6 feet thick from lake supier get pushed up onto the shore 20 to a 100 feet depending on wind at brake up
@@crandonborth =well we stay in the 30 to 45 below most of the winter,, Oct to mid Dec were around 10 to 25 below, late March till ed of April the same
100 or so miles north of you, we have this "rock" that looks kinda like that. Thing is, ours has a grain to it, and it's very difficult to dig down into, but breaks out pretty easily if you can get to it from the side. I only mention this, because you might be able to get the skidsteer in there and see if it comes out in big chunks, when you hit it from the side. Worth a shot, I reckon.
Boy, Chris I sure am glad you know what you are doing! (I guess that experience does help once in awhile) :-) because as you tried to tell me and maybe two or three more dummies watching with that beeping stick you have does, well to be honest it just flew right over our heads well mine anyway, it's easy to see why people have confidents in you...
Yeah didn’t realize the lot had that much slope when you were clearing it but saw it when you were walking it and looking back up hill. Hopefully that rock is just in that one area. 👍🏼
Hope you can avoid getting rain and making a muddy mess on that slope. Steeper than we realized when you were clearing off that lot. In better perspective with the basement excavation now.
i had to dig through some hard clay yesterday. i was just digging a hole for a horse and i dug in trenches to try and keep it square. then when i went to dig the center out it just crumbled. funny how it was still able to keep the bucket straight.
ok, dumb/ignorant question time (and I don’t know why I’ve thought of it now..) When you have to haul off good clay or dirt from a project on which you are working, do you stockpile it somewhere for future dam builds and repairs or topsoil needs?
Chris now you know where the rock pile came from, from the neighboring houses floorings or basement. Happy rock busting, and the $$$$ you make from the rock clause!
I built a house for a customer last year that had an 11’ difference from corner to corner and the customer couldn’t believe it was that much of a grade, he thought there was something wrong with the transit. It wasn’t till I had it all dug out and graded till he could wrap his head around it. So yes grade is very deceiving
"There's always tomorrow" - I've got to wonder if I'm the only one who suddenly got visions of Clarice the reindeer singing that song on "Rudolph the red nosed Reindeer"? ha ha
Alright, finally a Chris Letsdig18 video that's not diggin' stumps and building up burn piles. Instead it's diggin' dirt for a basement and hauling off dirt with his Uncle John. I'm pretty sure that it's a nice reprieve for Chris from diggin' stumps which he has said gets a little monotonous. Should be real entertaining.
Hey there Cris...an other day in the land of Let'sDig18..read a lot nice comment...great job as alway...keep watching..like Boston before watching..so not to forget 😉 😀 👏 👍
Central Texas has 6 inches of dirt and 5 miles of solid rock. What you are digging is what we call Movie dirt, ya Know in the movies they dig a hole to bury a Cow Boy, here digging the hole would just be the entire Movie for a week with a ram LOL
Do you need to make room for a well and septic system or is this lot on city sewer and water? In Wisconsin the setback distance varies from your neighbors.You mentioned 10 ft. from the lot line. That's going to be a big hole when you are done. I have a walkout basement as well.
Clever work. I guess they wouldn't do test holes for a basement that size before designing the house for the site? I have no experience at this but I enjoy watching and learning. Many thanks.
Shame we can’t get a collab with Demolition Dave…. He’d break that rock up into little itty bitty pieces…. Hard to justify flying him over from Melbourne, AU for a wee basement…. Interesting to watch Chris gently covering explosives & detcord…
All rock contains trace amounts of radon. I bet they have some neat radon removal systems around there. We don't get to see you do many basements, good change of pace.
If you ever have some time on a weekend or a something a great video idea could be to show us a quick rundown of how you operate some of the machinery. Maybe even some shots of your hands moving because you control that bucket so well compared to a lot of people with less experience
Look like it mite be time to get a jackhammer for the skid steer. Look like the limestone is busting up just needs little help. Would be good to have one on hand for that little rock like that. Or rent one for the day after you dig up around to rock.
You don’t want a breaker on your own equipment. It tears up pins and bushings in a hurry. As Chris found out, not all rental units are equal. Always go to the equipment yard and test them.
Hey Chris I noticed a while ago but How did the left side board on the dump truck get broke? Here in Oklahoma we don't have basements due to the Bedrock level is to high!!
Would be interesting to see how you could've done digging this basement with the 953. Seems this walk out basement would have the track loader excel, just have to keep flat once you get your grad and dig into a bank. Your machine vs your employers job i guess?

THis rock reminds me of when you did the vets clinic, it seems you were there forever. It would be interesting to see what that site looks like now
I was thinking the same thing.
I agree
Let’sdig, can you take us to the vet place and show us what it looks like now?
Couldn't forget that. They had to blast a good bit of it if I remember correctly and Chris was using the hammer a lot. It seemed like that job would never end.
@@Tlclrb that and the pond dredging where someone else was doing the waterfall etc.
And that is why a new set of teeth is included in the quote! Good explanation of the project.

Very interesting video thanks for explaining everything Magic Man. Take care Brother
Welcome to my world Chris. That’s everyday for us we usually are hammering 3 to 5 feet of rock for basements
worked in Charlette nc , res and com drywall , always wondered why no basements always a slab or a walkout

@Amy Taylor Houuu, you look hot Amy ! 💞💞
CAUTION: Rock clause in effect. Maybe the homeowner wouldn't mind a rock wall in the basement gym.
You should come out here to Utah were most of the pile is rock with some dirt mixed in. Lucky ours is river rocks and not one giant rock.
Reminds me of the soil my grandfather would joke about in Minnesota. "In summer, we grow crops. In the winter, we grow rocks."

i loved diging basements
Thanks like the video Chris .
Yep, rock everywhere BUT it's also sporadic and of course it's always found where people want to build something.
Chris almost time for new tracks on the skidsteer. Lol
Stumping & Rock, hard on the machine and operator
"Rock Issue"? Really? Those are peanuts Chris. Come here for digging and you will have really rocky joy! 😆
You can actually put a house wall 10 feet from a property line?

And it was going so good until you struck rock. That is some serious stuff. Thanks Chris.
Rocks, stumps, rocks stumps, instead of rock, paper, sciccors!
Reminds us of the animal hospital ⛰️
Hey Chris good decision to stop at the Rock I think it would be cool if you and DP built that big pond together kind of a Calaboration
Do you ever keep soil for you're personal use, like clay for ponds or fill
Oh man, just what you don’t need☹️ Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
Piece of cake at least as far as 'rock' goes, guess it depends on how deep and wide it is and how much time it takes to remove it, beats stumping?
Seriously. In New England that would be considered a very easy cellar hole.
Look like it mite be time to get a jackhammer for the skid steer. Look like the limestone is busting up just needs little help. Would be good to have one on hand for that little rock like that. Or rent one for the day after you dig up around to rock.
@Amy Taylor hi
You need a rock breaker attachment. Andrew Camaratas latest video he uses a nice rock breaking attachment to the excavator. As always top job.
You don’t want a breaker on your own equipment. It tears up pins and bushings in a hurry. As Chris found out, not all rental units are equal. Always go to the equipment yard and test them.
Hey Chris I noticed a while ago but How did the left side board on the dump truck get broke? Here in Oklahoma we don't have basements due to the Bedrock level is to high!!
Would be interesting to see how you could've done digging this basement with the 953. Seems this walk out basement would have the track loader excel, just have to keep flat once you get your grad and dig into a bank. Your machine vs your employers job i guess?
You seem a lot happier than you did the other day lol. Just kinda got that vibe you was irritated about something.
You call that rock!! Call in Dynamite Dave from Melbourne Australia. He knows how to fix rocks
mud stump And Rocks. Never gets easy
keep on digging!
Is this the machine with new pins and bushings? If so you should have known it would attract rock!
No, John's 220 got the new pins.
Skidsteer looked like it was sliding around a lot. Time for new tracks?
very amazing letsdig god job 😍
Surprised you don't have a laser receiver on the dipper stick? I know your eye is good, but it'll save a lot of time getting out and checking.
I do I just forgot to bring it lol
Ahh, nevermind, got to 10 minutes!
HAMMER TIME 🔨
I love all your vids. Thanks. I need to go back and hit "Like" on them all. I seem to overlook that
Yay
I know a guy in New York that has a rock hammer, runs it all the time on his mountain top retreat. His name is Andrew Camarata.
