The extra effort you put into your jobs for the customer is one of the reason I watch your channel .
Thanks
extra effort they are payed to do the job and a good one this job looks like 3 year olds done it they have no clue or pride
If I ever hear "this is your captain speaking " and it's Kleenman's voice. I'm jumping off the ship or plane. Lol God bless
lol
@@DirtPerfect But probably a one way ticket, I gotta agree....
Laffs !
Great balancing act on the piling with the concrete block . I was amazed...
Thanks
I was expecting in the last couple of minutes to see his conc block split right down the middle and fall on either side of post. Awesome job...
Lol thanks
Would have been nice to see what surprise might be hiding in that mafia block.
Its pissing down with rain here in England, I'm fed up with Covid and the Coyboys are still hopeless. More digging madness with DP and and his daft sidekick Kleeman, keep up the good work boys its making my life better right now
😁
Mark, I root for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and any team playing Dallas!
Both of their videos are a welcome distration these days 👍🏻
Sorry, a die hard Eagles fan here. The whole NFC East is in shambles. The Eagles have a brutal schedule compared to Dallas but a first round loss is really no consolation to either team. Heck, the birds could lose 5 of the next 6. sigh
@@richwielechowski5191 lol, amen to that Dallas comment.
I love watching you and the captain work together. You guys are so damn funny together. I love both your channels keep up the good work.
Thanks
Great to see you and the Captain back together again.
That is the beauty of people with common sense we may not have the right tools all the time but we will get it done great job
Exactly thanks
@dirt perfect you need a Bosch laser distance measure. I use one when surveying hospital room dimensions for renovations. I can measure more than 50’ away from the base point to the nearest 1/16” without moving my feet. Or in this case accurately measure without getting wet lol.
Really enjoy the content! Keep it up!
God bless
I would say one needs either an old bucket full of concrete or a block shaped to grab easier. Awesome job DP and CC. Blessings
Hanging Captain's plum line on the bucket would have given a good reference, I thought you were going to do that.
Take two did some decorating in the shop 🇺🇸😁👍
Captain is a trusting soul to ride in the bucket.I would have bet even money the "Valve-Vo" would have drop the block in the pond.
You should have got Kleenman out there in the bucket. Then stopped and took a lunch break. Lol God bless
You all did it now poked six holes in the pond now all the water will leak out. Saw all those chunks of concrete breaking off on the last pole thought that thing is going to split. Good job guys!!
Thanks and
It’s still full 🤷♂️
roger that, Thanks for the vids its some normal in a not so normal world....
I was rootin for Cap'n Kleeman's swimming talents getting displayed! Of well, perhaps another time
Lol
We used to drive pilings around DC to support lagging & when the pile driving crane couldn't reach we used a wild-hammer (like when there were power lines in the way, etc). We drove them 100 foot down or so to sure-up earth for underground parking in high rises. We'd go down 4 stories or so. Once in a while we'd hit granite and the piling would bend and come backup ('U' shaped). When I was a kid, we drove pier pilings in the water using a hose and pump. Connect the hose to the bottom of the piling and let the water clear the way. They'd go right on down, then we'd have to go down and disconnect the hose. We also drove sheet piling for coffer dams for bridge work. Sheeting, suring, pile driving and underpinning buildings. Just like kids play each day.
DP You are so lucky! I was waiting for you to drop it! You didn’t let me down!
Lol sorry
Kleenman every day I watch a video with in it. It's a great day buddy. God bless
That worked out way better than a bunch of guys I watched up in Virginia once. They made a work barge and pile driver with old wood and 55 gal barrels. This part worked great. Their problem started when they were trying to weld the beams on top of the posts. The welder was in an aluminum boat and when he struck an arc he got a "minor" shock. He dropped his welding lead which arced, burned a hole in the boat which sank taking him and all his equipment to the bottom. I laughed my butt off since no one was hurt, just a little embarrassed. Y'all stay safe and keep the vids coming.
OMG, too funny. :)
lol not good
Definitely think you should have given Captain K a rollercoaster ride, just to get him for the damages he causes to your equipment. 🤣😂🤣.
Well this was a first for me. I have seen pile drivers used to drive post, but I have never seen a excavator with a block of concrete used as a pile driver. It's like you said " run with what your brought". And it worked, great job again Mike.
Thanks
Looks good from here he says, you know you gotta watch Capt with drones, he tends to lose them...lol.
Another great video as always, please keep them coming. Ill get another one up soon too.
Lol thanks
Seen a homemade pile driver at a location. They used a old bucket with a bad floor, filled it with heavy rock and cement and welded thick plate onto the bottom. Reinforced the wall to floor joint. Locked the cement in with 3 rods welded across the top. Honestly thought it was pretty smart.
What a brilliant balance and recover, with that block..
That was a git er dun job for sure. As the captain said run what you brung.
Captain plumbed them poles Exactly how we electricians plumb a Tapered light pole
The block work great as a sledge hammer except for when you ended up balancing it on the post when it slipped out of the thumb and at the end when it broke right half in two.
Either way it saved you from fishing concrete chunks out of the pond.
The customer should have a very nice dock when he finishes it.
This might be a lesson for Captain Kleeman to get any posts into the ground before the water level comes up too high if he wants a dock on his pond.
I'm just glad you didn't hit a big rock. That looked like a fun ride Captain Kleeman took in the bucket.
I swear I could feel the ground shake with every tap. Awesome job.
😁
I was honestly expecting you to hammer one post in and have the block split in half and fall in the pond! Especially like how you perfectly balanced that block on that post, and let go! Now do it again!!!! You and the Cap'n always good entertainment for an evening! Loved the "Length" joke from Cap'n and the Amusement Park Ride
You and the Captain,What a crew. It’s amazing how close you got all the iron making them plumb. Kevin
Thanks
I’ve seen everything now! The whole time you were driving those beams in, I was hoping the concrete block wouldn’t break!
Drive stakes in the ground on the sides of the pond and run string just like you do for basements.
Looks like Captain kleveland is a little unprepared he should have brought a swift-water gear with them LOL Keep On Keepin On
you gave the Captain a new last name LOL.
I thought that's the way it was supposed to be LOL
@@kevinpoore5626 I'm pretty sure his name is Mike Kleeman.
CK, “you can still yell on the radio, I learned that at work.” 😂😂 The pitch and volume in the first arriving unit is a better scene size up than an actual description in most cases! 😳 DP, thanks for another great video!
You’re right about that! 😂😂
Fabricator could have tack welded a beam to give you the 16ft space needed between front and back posts. The face of every I-beam, even off by a degree will be feet apart over a 16ft span. I think he'll have no problem making it work. But could have saved himself hours of balancing over water, with a few welds on dry land. You guys do good work!!! Cheers Mike.
Always great so see people working as a team; not sure about health and safety though. In the UK lifting Captain like that would be a total no-no.
When a home owner is specific on length and width that means he is a particular fellow who knows what he wants . I recommend getting the water with a tape measure
Sorry to disappoint he was very happy with it
Is there anything you can't do? Your skills never cease to amaze me.
Sing 😜
I was waiting on the stone to fall one time lol 😆 or the big stone to crack half in 2 lol 😆 Y’all doing fine 👍.
Well done,
As you can see necessity is the mother of invention. ..,
Notice:No Tractors were injured in Pile Driving episode you just witnessed!
Thanks
The fear in Captain's voice when he got in the bucket 😄.
lol
we would perhaps call it 'brown trousers time' slight translation for you guys across the pond pants.lol
@@vicinglis3736
Gives a whole new meaning to skid steer 😬😬😬
@@alexosborne5629 sure does , very well chosen words.
As always Dirt Perfect...... Great Video !
Thanks buddy
You two together crack me up ! How much temptation was there to dunk Captain Kleeman just a little into the lake
I've done that with light poles and it worked good too
Never know what your gonna be doing next . Thanks for showing great work.
Excellent job very good lookin job. Thanks for your time in making the awesome vidjas
Thanks for watching
With his superhero powers, the Captain should have been able to pick up those pieces of steel and thrown them into place.
Lol
Good job guys, drone shots put a good eye ball on alignment. Be interesting to see what’s next at that job site👍🇺🇸
Thanks
That pile driving here in the northeast, no way would the piles go in, because of so many rocks in the soil. Thought you lost the cement ram a couple of times. A nail bitter. Glade it did not break in half. Fun watching the job being done. Almost like being there. Minus the need for ear and eye protection. LOL.
When you have that metal beam up there with the ditching bucket that thing looks exactly like t Rex from Jurassic Park you should paint some teeth and some eyes on there! Good job guys keep up the good work could be worse you could be me running 8 inch waterline 5000 feet seven fire hydrants and it’s gonna start getting cold cheers from Wyoming!
Some expert flying there by The Captain. Cool shots.
Now i know why i have a few spare concrete dummy blocks laying around. And were right next to the ocean. We aint tryed this before. But it could be in our future operations. now that. Its. Dirt perfect approved. Lol
Your in business 😝
cave man heavy equipment Mr. Flintstone .yaba daba doo !
I was waiting for you to dump the Cot !!!! O well maybe next time. You guys are just awsome nice job.
Ah, you can't beat a bit of innuendo to get you through the day 🤣🤣
Definitely inventive to get the piles hammered in 👍💪
Captain, think you should put that slogan on tee shirt 👍😎
All I can say is that Kleeman is one trusting soul............... The DIRT PERFECT aquatics program was looming largely.....................LOL
😁
Dat’s a LOT of dock for a pond that size. Damn son!
Is it a dock or half a bridge
Lol
Just a comment, might have helped to build a wooden jig to slip over the pilings to ensure they were equally spaced and in line. You're still a great operator! :-)
For the short ones, you should have put a string from shore out around the outside of the outer post then back to shore. Square up the string & set the distance on shore, then it would have been easy to make them the same width... just touch the string and ey ball the middle short one.
Yup
@@DirtPerfect Of course maybe the capt. likes bucket surfing too...
*HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!*
((I am done with having anything other than GREAT DAYS!!!!!))
Thanks
@@DirtPerfect and.... as a WIZE DOODE HAS SAID:
*THERE IS )are, wutever( ENUF GREAT DAYS FOR EVERYONE TO BE HAVING THEM!!!!!*
if one choooses to, that is, FREE CHOICE FREE WILL & all that stuff winkwinkNudgeNudge lol ;) hehehehe
another good show from dp being a dock and swimmers around i hope the rebar got taken out of the water
Thanks
What y'all needed is a laser tape measure that way u could get it close to what u needed.
if you want to push a pile into the mud straight and easy hang it from the bucket with a short piece of chain and gravity will make it straight as you drop it in then you just have to jiggle the bucket till the chain comes off. tie wire the excavator side of the chain or you might have to swim for it
Works good if you have mud to work with
Nice job
just thinking a boat and string line off the 1st post to Shure would be a good straight line
Hmm....we're looking at doing something similar, with some wooden pilings. Plan on using an excavator to place them and 'push' them down, hopefully not breaking the piling.
Have done that before
Run what you bring and hope you bring enough
That's what we use at the drag strip
my little red car made all my friends motor up with turbos and lots of nitrous
I didn't use any of them
9.06ET at. 154+ MPH
Yup that's something we would do here, get er done
I'll bet if you made an attachment for your rock breaking chisel you could have a nice pile driver.
You get some fun jobs. Maybe you can get a picture when it’s done.
Thanks and will do
I guess a guy couldn't build Stonehenge with the Volvo and that thumb.😎
I thought for sure when that concrete block broke in half, it would get wet on at least one side.
Don't push them in too deep, you'll poke a hole in the bottom and drain all of the water out!!!!
“I’m not a submarine Captain” 😂😂😂
Oh. Captain your killing me with that length joke
You need one of those vibrating attachments. I just had a contractor drive some pylons for my boat lift and they were hammered down in no time at all. 14in poles and they hammered them over 15ft into the ground. My house is about 30ft to my bulkhead where my dock is and that vibrator shook my house pretty good when it hit a certain harmonic just right. But it was cool watching those huge poles being pushed down by an excavator on a barge.
If I did more of it possibly
Awesome work!
Four words this time D P.......`Ingenuity rules the day`
😁
We usually have the lowman on the totem pole strip to thier skivies and hop in the water with the tea measure
Lol
Andrew is the wonderful world of OSHA violations. Lol God bless
He has made few videos in 2020 which makes me wonder if he did not take a fall or covid or some other injury.
@@Rickimusic he said in a receent on he had spent a ton of time welding on the shop project. probably make more of those videos then working at this point,
Interesting job Mike
Thanks
Don't you have a hydraulic jackhammer attachment? It would drive those much easier? But hey it worked!
You should have brought a small boat so the captain could have really been the captain. Everything looks like it came out great.
Good video again I bet you want to dip him in the water But good job y’all to good operating equipment be safe
lol thought about it
hehe - right at the end... confirmation that the last few hits broke your weight in half!
Yup but for it done
@@DirtPerfect Means if you needed to do more, you would need more blocks!
Genius absolutely Genius! And everyone has dry feet!
lol thanks
I'm still predicting 100K by Jan. 1st. Great job.
lol not for sure about that
Lead weights and bobbers, use them as markers that's what I've done many of times
Thought the Captain would have brought a Siebe Gorman set...just in case !!
I'm watching this at 0630 and you guys are cracking me up! You two started my day off with hijinks and innuendo induced laugher - how can I have a bad day after that?!! :)
lol thanks
Good save man. Good save
Thanks
Dunkin booth , thought for sure you would get Captain wet or at least a mild scare.
lol
Lmao dock installers that really dont want to get wet i knew i had to watch this operation , good job. Your definitely a nut
Lol you got that right
Oh my god it's a captain kleeman sighting and he try taking over filming oh boy
You guys get the most interesting jobs.......can you please attach your resume listing your accomplishments......lol, now that would be a fun read......awesome work guys, thanks for entertaining us.
From Paul, former 25 year underground miner who has worked with many types of heavy equipment at depths of over 5000 feet underground at the Kid Creek mine and elsewhere.
Thanks and interesting job your self there
@@DirtPerfect I stand corrected Mike......my son just reminded me that the deepest level we worked at the Kidd Creek Mine in Timmins Ontario Canada was 9600 feet underground.......so hot down there .....be well sir.
Use build piers that's how we done it. Actually we pull of the house doorway sorta like do sidewalk but that's why need 2 squared pegs markers on land go off of do that by setting peg on land pull off that for furthest outside pole then get aware off them for second ground peg for second outside pole wrap them with string line set all poles you want to them lines
Interesting
I would have used straps or chains to help secure that block to the bucket, good thing the block was balanced on that one pier or someone was going for a swim to try and fish it out of the pond.
Ya boat man its a Dock 😂 you need a boat for the Captain so he can measure and plumb, anyway,not joking nice job even with out a boat
I hope someone draws eyes on the trenching bucket because it looks like some kind of dinosaur
Lol
Great save there Mike thanks.
Thanks
God bless and be safe and I have you all in my prayers
Thanks
I think that the Capt. should have at least got his feet wet!!!!!!!!!!!! Job well done!!!!!!!!
