Everybody gangster with culverts till post 10 parks his car and reaches for the rake. Oh, same with cutting down trees and inbred Jed starts sharpening his chain
@@GCFD Me too, the only problem is I don't know what most snakes are. Rattlers and water moccasins I know. Any snake swimming in water is a water moccasin, at least to me. Lol
Yeah, Get post10 to round up his beavers and bring them over. They will find that leak in the dam and plug it! Since he mentioned it was a galvanized pipe, how about a metal detector?
I can tell you exactly how to fix that pond. I’ve watched all letdig18’s videos and I stayed at a holiday inn express last night. Lol, nice video Shawn.
Haha 👍Same thing happened on my bike ride this evening. Several people were standing around a banded water snake on the trail. I caught it and showed it to everyone then watched it slither away.
There is a bio and fish safe polymer that sinks to the bottom of the pond dam. It expands and seals the leak. It was designed for pond leaks. Don’t know the name but saw it on Bama bass RUclips channel fix this problem when he was building his pond. I think it was his 3rd or 4th video. I recommend watching the whole process from video 1. Thanks for you video. Great content.
I guess fire moves alot different here in the dry desert... Out here you NEVER burn your brush anywhere there is other trees and such, it goes up like a matchbox in seconds.... You have to light your pile far away from anything and watch it with a massive hose ready to put it out
"Hi, this is Shawn" = Click the Like button, 'cause it's gonna be a great video! 😁👏👏 Very awesome maneuvering of the excavator over the empty culvert!!
Removing trees is such hard work. I find removing the stumps much harder than removing the trees. Those roots can really take hold. Good luck with the pond. 👍
Lady, I don’t blame you one bit for yelling! To me, my opinion is the only good snake is a dead snake! Great videos,ALL of them. Stay safe and healthy y’all !👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I like your subtle sense of humor, the sign at the end. Also the flag cowboy hat had me cracking up. Very good video. The lady screaming at the snake was funny. Reminded me of my wife when we had a mouse run through the house years ago.
I have not commented before, but feel that I should say you did a bloody great job , have watched a few of your drainage work videos and love your work ethic and knowledge, keep up the great content... Best wishes from me here in the Isle of Man. (look us up)
Interesting video. Good to see different types of jobs. One rainy day when you need a random video you'll have to share your vast collection of "bad" hats.
Man. When you first went in with the excavator and a little bit of concrete dust went flying I thought for sure a pipe would be getting broken. I underestimated your power
Another great vid from Shawn, the "I'll try anything" man! I can honestly say, after watching all your vids on this channel, I am never disappointed by the content you are putting out there. Looking forward to the next one already! Tyfs 😊 PS...forgot to add that I like your new studio set-up 😊
Tracy - Keep that in mind. My next video will be drastically different than anything on this channel. I'm considering putting some other content up here because my personal channel isn't doing much....I will be looking to you and other fans to steer me in the right direction.
Ooooh! Sounds exciting! Maybe you could mention your personal channel on here to direct the GCFD fans in that direction. Maybe. If you want. No pressure or anything. Just if you feel like it. At some point. 🤭😊 PS...as to the steering, I'm fine going forward but not great at reversing! Just in case you need to know that! 😊
The only thing I can think of to find a leak is use some type of dye that is safe for water and drop some slowly till i find said leak. A follow up would be cool
Do you ever do any Collabs with Upstate Brush Control? You and John both have great channels! Let us know when you get some merchandise available for purchase. Id love to have a Gate City Hat! Thanks
On tree cutting no one got hurt, and no barber chair! :) For those joints some grout or cement would have been better so you have no leaks. dot stuff is good for the bigf trucks. Go kubota i was suprised by a smaller unit and got a big rock out putting a nds drain in. Use those 15" further back where there is a wet spot or near the dam.
Hello Shawn, I hope you can follow it up since it is a very interesting video, the placement of cement pipes, cleaning the entrance by removing trees and stumps, the removal of the house to recycle the blocks, really very interesting, my congratulations Hopefully we know what happened to the water leak ...
Yes for sure! We only have a few venomous snakes here in NC and they are easy to recognize by distribution (most are on the coast) or by coloration/appearance.
The issue with the pond is, the builder, did not dig a deep and/or wide enough core.. Also it could be that there is not enough clay in the dam, too much organic material in the dam, but I would bet money, there either is not a compacted clay core, not enough clay in the core or the builder screwed up.. I have helped build dozens of ponds.. Loved the video.. Great job..
@@GCFD That's awesome. It did look very cool. I'm trying to think of the equivalent for Australia where we wouldn't think twice about it. We're told to be really careful around dams. Is there a danger of getting stuck in mud?
Great job Shawn .Like your channel alot.I saw a gasket system for concrete pipe but sincei its just a water culvert guess its not needed? Stay safe.Peace from S.Philly.Pa.
It's been dry here Matt. Plus I've been working on the studio background and some other projects. My next video will be completely different content, more that I put on my personal channel, so i'll be looking for feedback on whether you like it or not. 👍 Hopefully within two weeks.
Culvert went together well but it would be easier if you had some strops for lifting. You should have compacted the backfill in layers, your machine is not heavy enough to compact more than 100 to 150mm depth (4 to 6 inches). When you placed the excavated material there would be air voids between the soil particles. It is "relatively" easy to compact the soil to remove most of the air voids. Without compaction those air voids will fill with water which will weaken the soil so it is more likely to rut. You are correct that with time the the water will trickle out and the soil will settle but it is likely that the soil will never be as dense as if it was compacted. PS I would have used some of those blocks to build head and tail walls.
Good point John. It sat for more than two months before the gravel went in which is why I wasn't worried about compaction during the install. If we are adding gravel the same day I get the gas jackhammer with a tamper and the plate compactor out. 👍
I totally enjoy watching your videos and the follow up after a rain is incredible. I was curious why you cut the PVC at a sharp angle right before it daylights? The rip rap type of rocks near the daylight pipe is a nice feature. Is the cut PVC for aesthetics, or does it have a function? Thanks
I can see people using a chainsaw without ear protection or a helmet, but using a chinasaw without cut protection pants is really, really dangerous. This is a small investment more than worth if things go wrong...!
Good morning. I had something pucker up. At one point he took his eyes off the tree to look at shawn. Now while shawn may be handsome and all, 🤔 he shouldn't take his eyes off something that could roll out and kill him. Just poking a little fun.
ugg those black snakes in the blocks. Every fall, those things would invade my garage foundation because it was open on the inside of the garage. Finally had to cover it up and boy did those snake come back and were not happy. Big suckers too.
That driveway looked really nice, and we got to see 2 snakes, I dont like snakes, but its way nicer to watch on a screen :) I hope the dam situation will get good, best of luck that you find the issue, but why didnt the ones that made the pond take responsibility about it?
@@GCFD Nice that you managed to find it, hope it worked out well to repair that :) And many thanks for informing us, its these things that makes it enjoyable to watch your channel, we learn a lot from you!
What kind of king snake do you guys call those? When I was a kid they were California King snakes according to my snake book. Caught one in Virginia. Thought it was an odd name. Many years ago.
That's an eastern King snake here in the southeast. We do occasionally get california kings but those are pets that escape or are released. California king snakes live out west. Scarlet kingsnakes are my favorite. They live in the pine barrens closer to the coast.
Hey Jeff - that's my most common question. I don't know anyone who does what we do with levels and drainage work, which is why I started doing it. I started the channel to try and help people but I never dreamed it would become so popular. Best luck with your stuff - Shawn
He tried for months and got nowhere. I have had much, much better luck with the city streets department than with DOT. City of Thomasville is wonderfull to work with.
Wood is a liability here. There is so much that the best you can hope for is to find someone who will let you drop it on their property. We burn when we can.
I'm struggling right now. I'm signed up to take the CDL exam but would need to buy a truck and trailer, and then the bigger excavator. Like much of my life, I lack clear goals.
@@GCFD I’ve spent the last 65 years without clear goals. I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. I was lucky to have married a goal setter 44 years ago.😉

Thanks for sharing Shawn, perhaps you could advise Carson about getting some safety gear/eye protection before he gets injured?
👍 Great idea. The best luck I've had with PPE is saying "it's for the video." They don't mind wearing PPE for the video.

thats one tough excavator

Great video. Did your friend try using vegetable dye to find the leak in his dam?
He found a broken overflow pipe that was rotted away. Hopefully he can wait for me to help him dig it up and plug it.
What about using some dye in possible areas to see if it comes out of the hole? or do you already know where the pipe is?
That would work for sure.
Really good video Shawn, hope all’s well….Bobby L……

I can see people using a chainsaw without ear protection or a helmet, but using a chinasaw without cut protection pants is really, really dangerous. This is a small investment more than worth if things go wrong...!
Wait what they make cut protection pants 🤣
I totally agree which is why I invested in forestry helmets, cut resistant pants and gloves for everyone. Safety first! 👍
When I handed them out to the guys I told them they had to wear regular pants with the protective pants. 👍 LOL
Maybe they are called different in the usa, but you guess the idea - it stops the chain when hitting your legs instead of cutting trough them...
