Boy it's about time you made that Elite Earthworks dude do something! lol. All I ever see him do is ride around in a machine or a truck normally, and every once in a great while he gets out and holds a rake in his hands to make it look good for his viewers!
I love watching the work that you do and admire your attention to detail. If you were in my area I would definitely hire you with confidence that the job will be done right.
LOL, Every time I see one of those packers now all I can think is "Whacker packer" from that auction video a few years back. Good stuff, you guys collab well!
This reminds me of when Brandon unloaded and set his box on that retention pond job. Seems there was a couple machines involved getting that box off the trailer. And then another project with the flare and inlet pipe etc. Fun times all around! Lol
Mr Elite ain’t scared of work I’ll tell ya ! Nice seeing u two working on a project together !! Told him several times he needs more ponds on his channel so I think it’s pretty damn fitting that’s what he’s helping u on !! Lmao. Hey Brando !
Discovered Letsdig18 last week. Very cool. Great vids and commentary. The operator is awesome. So skilled and knows his stuff as well. Very impressed with all aspects of him and his craft. I bet he could thread a needle using his excavator ! lol
This will sound corny but it is an honor to watch someone who knows how to go to work. Your driving and operational abilities are out standing. I wish you lived up where I am.
Man, that is some high quality help you got there. Teaching the man some pond stuff or just making a friend go to work when he comes to visit? ;) It is an awful long drive from Missora for a day job. I once knew a guy like that he was from Gaylord, Michigan; we called him Detroit Ron for obvious reasons. Thanks for the videos, Chris. Don't work Brandon too hard or he might expect to get paid.
@@mrs.eliteearthworks "I have had enough of this work around here, I need a break. I know, let me go work with Chris for a week," Brandon- possibly. that is quite the man to take his vacation just to go work somewhere else.

Worked with a guy that couldn't figure out a log tape, 1' increments with a shoe nail on one end, and a clip to attach to your belt, dude insisted he needed someone to hold the end for him, and couldn't figure out how to attach the tape to his overalls... Few days later he left, very upset at me... (this is after I damned near swung a bucket full of logs into him cause he walked up on the machine I was working in, chewed he ass for trying to shovel tracks on the same machine while I was trying to load logs with it, then spent the better part of 8 hours staying warm in the service truck while the rest of us froze our muddy asses off... BTW he ran that service truck nearly out of fuel 45 miles from the nearest station... I of course managed to finish it off 3 mi from home, in the dark on a winding road... cause the fuel gauge didn't work at all grrrrrr)
I’ve done this before when I was working for the yard crew at a slaughterhouse. We where building waste pits and digging the canals out and putting in risers and grouting the plastic pipe it. Tho sadly I always got the blocks that where a foot thick of concrete and had to use a sledgehammer and sometimes hit rebar aw that was hard work
as you were crushing the old concrete pipe, I couldn't help wondering why you didn't toss a couple of them in the pond for fish habitat.... but from the looks of the silt in there, they might just sink and become a nuisance for the person that gets to dredge that one.
More!! Wish I could play with dirt all day once in a while, I’m sure you get sick of it sometimes... I definitely don’t get sick of watching you tho...
I work on my family farm with my grandfather though my parents own a construction company, underground piping and steel structure building mostly these days, so I’ve been around a lot of the equipment you use and ran too but I still like the vids. I do mostly stay away from the construction side of the family business as it’s never interested me as much as the farm side.
Chris you and mr. dirt perfect need to have a discussion on laying the bell end of the pipe in the right direction. He disagrees with you and I can’t figure out why! Both of you know what your doing when you work, but I wish you two could come up with a discussion on the matter for all to see!
Watching you and Dirt Perfect finesse those controls is like watch Isaac Pearlman playing a violin. I think you beat Dirt Perfect by a G string. LOL You guys need to teach the new kids that it is not a video game where you slam those controls. It's all in the wrist.
Dang Chris how did you resist not stacking those piece of concrete pipe sections you removed?!? I would made a little pipe sculpture outta those pieces
that is where metric is so much easier to use! you are using base 10 and decimals instead of fractions of an inch, 12 inches per foot, 3 feet per yard... Being in Canada, I have to use both; I much prefer metric for the most part. I will never buy a tape measure that doesn't have both!
@@marcryvon I found it easier to just count the lines like he did than it was trying to teach him the right way.he couldn't grasp why if the little line was a 16th why isn't there 16 little lines.there is 16 little ones some are hiding under the longer lines...huh?? Ok 13 and 3 little lines it is.lol
Sometimes it is nice to see an outside angle, like when you are lifting something like a crane. The leverage in how far out you carry things, the same for grade. The cat ete lens messes that perception up.
Now comes a teaching time : why does the overflow head toward the houses? Looks like it will flood the yards. Is the path deep and long? Heading to a pond. I am learning alot at 78. Thanks.

It’s a tough job but someone’s got to do it 😁
Another great job. This time by two experts in their field. Thanks for sharing.

I love it when Brandon is around, Chris smiles/grins a lot more that usual!
Wonder what he would do with MBTS?(Dirt Perfects alter ego)
Now that's some letsdig Elite earthwork
You’re darn tootin’ 🤠

If you look at the far edge of the pond when the video starts you will see a Great Blue Heron. I am sure he helped remove the fish.
Probably ticked off now that his meals are missing...

Concrete habitats, does'nt the concrete slowly make the water more acidic over time? For ponds I guess that could be an issue.
I love your channel
this is better than TV
I did pipe for 20 years that's the nicest I have ever seen any box cut out lol
it did turn out right nice didnt it lol
Love the video Chris
I would much rather have the hole when the concrete too large then being too tight or too small 👍 nice job!!
Great job and vid glad ya came on damn the net is getting boring till ya posted thx
25:01 Of course Brandon likes the 220...
The Bigger the Toy, the Happier the Boy...
You are like a sculptor, with your digger - fantastic !
You make it look easy but we all know it's not your first rodeo.

Yeah Chris I think Brandon liked the 220. But anyway brother another great video you John and Brandon y’all stay safe and keep them coming
Aaah, the guys that make Post10 happy by doing away with the old and in with the new.
That's what I call 100% teamwork
Excellent skills!
Fascinating 👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love those closeup view of concrete box and pipe.we need to see other aspect of your work not just digging and scooping.Full marks👍🏻👏👏
Hey Mrs. Elite, Brandon is going to want a Volvo 220 of his own in the future 🤑
Oh boy...
Evidently he has been kicked for a while .

Great vid as always you make look easy and fun
been a while since John has wore a pair of long pants. must be cool there for that.
Straight corrugated pipe was the best invention. Concrete sections were more labor intensive.
This pond is screaming for some more work to be done!
I think a 100 trucks of mudd is ready to get moved out.
thanks for sharing the video
More!! Wish I could play with dirt all day once in a while, I’m sure you get sick of it sometimes... I definitely don’t get sick of watching you tho...
12 hour days doing pipe can get old but its also rewarding looking at your finished product. my operator runs a 349 cat.

That Brandon is a pretty nice guy! I would subscribe to his channel but I already did a while back.
I appreciate that!
Brandon would make a good employee.

Chris make a part two for this video please
Since you do a lot of these pipe connections, maybe design a collar to take up the space around pipe.
they make them, but compared to the cost... give a laborer a bucket of grout while you take lunch
Been waiting on this one
Great great great video!!!
I really worked with a guy that couldn't read a tape.he would say something like 13 inches and 3 medium lines or 5 little ones
Thats how I started reading a tape measure
Been there done that .
Bought one with the numbers printed on it .
Some of us don't get the 16th shit .
that is where metric is so much easier to use! you are using base 10 and decimals instead of fractions of an inch, 12 inches per foot, 3 feet per yard...
Being in Canada, I have to use both; I much prefer metric for the most part. I will never buy a tape measure that doesn't have both!
