Thanks Ashley

@@DiggingAlaska lol Monica 😂

Oh sorry, you know I know it Monica. Lapse in memory.

Ha ha

Not mine, it is the client's well.

OK thanks for letting me know

Hi Ace, How are you

Yes it was and I drastically underestimated the work but I finally got it done.

Love watching Andrew. I've invited him up to snowmachine but he hasn't come up yet.

Thanks! I've been copywrited a few times already. Now I only use music from TH-cam Music library.

@@DiggingAlaska very good idea bill

In this area waterlines need to be 10 feet deep to prevent freezing. If they are under roads/driveways/etc, they need to a lot deeper.

Note the foam board for added protection, area often sees -40 temps in the winter

Minimum 10 feet in this area. And even then they can freeze in a harsher than normal winter

@@DiggingAlaska wow ok thanks

I know, digging into the hill took so long and then digging in the driveway area was extremely compacted and had lots of bigger rocks. But I got it finally. Thanks!

Thanks Brian

Excellent job!

Thanks Greg!

Yes, that's true about blocking the driveway. Of course I talked it over with him before starting the job. In this next video, you will see just how much material I dug out.

Thanks for the suggestion. I agree with that. Yes, wanted to use my own equipment so I wasn't going to rent. Thanks for watching

I did bite off too much but I did eventually get it done. The road was just the home owners driveway and he doesn't live there yet. He was fine with me blocking it for a couple days. Thanks for watching

Thank you!

Thanks

I wish it was

Nope

Nope

Nope, it's only permafrost if it's frozen all year long. There isn't any permafrost in the general area.

It would cave in no matter where I started. It caves because I have to dig 10 feet deep and it's all gravel. Thanks for the comment and watching

Thanks Brian

Thanks Mike!

Thanks. Yeah the ground is sand/gravel/rock so when digging in it, you have to a lot wider than if it was all dirt. Plus to get the 10 foot depth, I go at least 10 feet wide at the top. It is crazy how deep it has to be to prevent freezing.

A lot of fun but very frustrating due to the sides keep caving in. I guess that's what happens when you dig in gravel.

Yeah it was. There is about 20 or 30 feet that was really steep. In the next video you'll see how I have to dig the trench bc of the steepness

Yeah. I normally use a 2 foot digging bucket for stumps and big rock. I use the 5 foot clean out bucket to move a lot of material quickly. Time is money and I usually bid these by the job. Thanks for the comment and for watching

I have been watching u tube videos about your area. I would like to visit this area sometime in the future. I like solitude, however the Mrs. likes her daily shopping tours. Anyway I can dream.

There's areas just outside of Anchorage where it's really quiet but only a short drive into town.

Thank you very much. I hope you're enjoying watching my videos

Yes I have a 2 foot digging bucket. I use it for burying electrical lines, stumps, big rocks, etc. I use this 5 foot bucket for moving a lot of material quickly. Thanks for watching

It is pretty cool. Don't see bears very often. See moose once in a while.

Hey Ken! I'm in Willow Alaska area. It is about an hour north of Anchorage. My 50 is new, maybe 300 hours on it. I do grease it every 8 - 10 hrs depending on what I've been doing. I run the machine from about June through September. I do use it during the winter when either we get a good dump of snow or when the snow piles start encroaching and need to be moved back.

@@DiggingAlaska Bill, Talk about being out in the middle of know wear. Right now here in Missouri it is 88 degrease outside. Anyway thanks for the quick reply. I am viewing your productions. I like what I am viewing. Ken

​Thanks Ken! ​@kenskip1 Glad you like my channel

Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

Thank you! Yeah, the trees roots don't go very deep so the need to spread out in a cobweb style to stay standing.

I have the same machine, they are impressive.

I wasn't sure how much fill would be needed but it firmed up nicely. Thanks

It's all Scotties doing.

It is nice soil for drainage. Stay tuned, in a few weeks, I dig up a frozen chunk of dirt.

Yeah, could've moved a little closer. Thanks for subscribing and watching.

Too funny. Thanks for watching

That's the name of the game

Thanks Tony. If you need anything, please let me know.

Ha ha ha I think that's going to be 2 or 3 videos.

It's possible ha ha 😂

So far I like it. I don't have any experience with other brands but I like this machine. Thanks for watching

Thank you

You're welcome.
