Mike when plumbing or laying pipe you want 2.5" every ten feet or 1/4" every foot.
The reason for this is that it will carry debris down the pipe.
At this slope it makes little water waves that push the debris down the pipe. ( I think the Romans learned this back in the day)
Anyhow, All that being said, You should be fine. I am just giving you the info for next time you plumb or lay pipe.
Can you tell I was a pipe layer? We would clear the land as loggers, but started installing the pipe for the new buildings, because we needed more work.
The EPA started shutting down logging in the 1990's, So we were all hungry and looking for more work.
Now we watch the forests in the West burn every year and they chock on the ashes. 😏
BTW, That looks greats. Nice road work.
Mike I miss John Wayne Jimmy Stewart
@@ironwoodworkman4917if I was from Australia I’d tell you what you did wrong
@@dandurham4288 🤣I get it, And you might be right in Australia.😁
For example. In Montana we often use pea-gravel to bed pipe, But in West Virginia, we do it with limestone, just like Mike did. But in WV, we call that gravel, crusher-run or crush an run.
Mike 99.9999% of your viewers come here to watch, learn, and be motivated by your work ethic. Dont let this clown bother you. You do great work.
Learn??
Absolutely, Mike - keep up the great videos and comments !! I love your channel and look forward to seeing you guys everyday !! Onwards and Upwards !!
@@larrycrain5650 yeah? I've learned a lot on this channel.
@@trevorlewis24 Just be sure that what you learned is accurate.
@@larrycrain5650 i guess you must know everything if you havent learned one thing on this channel..
18:30 In our Township in Ohio the Township puts in the culvert and you pay a reasonable price for it. We asked to have one put in and were told we needed to go to the township building and sign and pay to have it installed. We went and no one was there. Got to our farm and there was the crew putting the pipe in. We asked who had approved it as we hadn't paid yet. Got told: " We know who you are and you can stop by the township trustee's place to sign and pay. Just call him to set a time in the evening. " I guess it helps that my grandparents were the ones who gave the Township the ROW and the fact that the road is named after our family. Farm has been in the family for three generations and 83 years.
You need to place a sign on the culvert "Cross at your own risk! Department of Australian Karens"
Brilliantly said.
@@Graeme408 I wouldn't want to start a debate on which country has the best practices if I was you
We built a 15' wide road, 1,000 feet long to our house. Put in a 14" double wall culvert pipe, and have had 56,000 lb. loaded tri-axle trucks (65 loads so far)running it over. Not even a rut has formed. Just do it right the first time (like you're doing), and It'll last for years and years.
Wow …. I was gonna say…15’ wide is gonna take some gravel , then you verified what I was kind of guessing. I still had no idea it would be near that amount. I bet that cost a pretty penny.
@@freepatriot6313 We used 3" road hardpack, and 6-8" Rip-Rap where needed. . I wanted to do this the first time, and make it wide enough for trucks to easily make it to the house building site. Pricing in New Hampshire is still pretty good all things considered.
Hey Mike, In my 30+ years of inspecting cross-country pipelines I observed thousands of culvert installations in every kind of situation imaginable. Some were well done, some just thrown in for temperaty use and some were actually engineered for more permanent/lasting situations. All of them had various kinds of extremly heavy pipelaying machinery cross them multiple times. But not even one failed. I can take you to several that were installed as well as the one in this video that are still in use and still seeing heavy use by vehicles that weigh in excess of 40 tons. Perhaps our Aussie friends blood is all running to his head and confusing him due to being upside down all the time. Nice job.
Temperaty use ?? Hey, I learned a new phrase today. Thank you 😊
Hey jimmeeks206 - Great comment on the Aussie nut job !!
His totally unnecessary comments to Mike about his culvert/drain pipe installation must definitely be caused by being upside down !! Let's just move on - life's too short to waste on these trivial comments !! 😅 Have a day, Mike and say "Hi" to Hunter, Melissa, Levi and the rest of the gang.
Hi from Qld Australia. Great work.
Back filling a culvert with loose rock? Really?? A french drain sure but a culvert? Buy rock instead of using free dirt which actually compacts much better? Really??
As an engineer who has put in a lot of culverts in my career, well compacted bedding is important to support the pipe for slope/flow but the critical part is the backfill from the bottom to the springline (center) of the pipe. If you don’t let the pipe spread wider, it can’t collapse. Most contractors fill to the top of pipe because it’s easier to compact stone (and, some is even self compacting) in small areas. You want a pipe diameter at least over it to keep it from pumping and loosing the side support. You are doing everything correct even if your Aussie fan doesn’t think so.
Mike, from my experience, when someone confronts you in a way that appears to be totally unwarranted, there is something else going on in that person's life. As a result, they have to vent it out on someone else; in this case, it is you. Just be happy with your own good works and let the bazar actions of other people run off you like water on a duck's back. All the best!
Good morning Mike I have a story you might get a kick out of i turned my father on to your channel he really likes y’all. Recently he gave me a 10ft landscape trailer I live in Florida and he lives in Mississippi he’s mower broke down so I told him I would bring mine to cut his grass. I drove the 51/2 hours to his place and get here yesterday morning . I unloaded my mower and started cutting grass had to move my truck and trailer and I’m use to backing up a boat trailer with a long tongue but the landscape trailer with the short tongue gives me trouble. He started laughing at me and said I need to go to PA and have Mike Morgan teach me how to back up a trailer LOL. Have a great weekend. PS we pick up our LT35 Monday can’t wait
Lol and have fun with the new mill
HAHAHAH The shorter the Trailer the harder it is to Back up. Especially if the wheel base of the Trailer to Tongue is shorter than the Truck....
@m9ovich785 I didn't have a truck with a backup camera and the hardest trailer I ever backed was a single jet ski trailer empty. You can't see anything and have to wait for it to pop out and then correct.
@@johnpyle8027 HAH I have a Crew Cab Long Box F-350 and can not see My motorcycle camper behind it either...
The best trailer backing advice I ever got was to follow the trailer. If the trailer goes left then steer left. If it goes right steer right. By left and right steering I mean the direction you'd turn the steering wheel as if you were driving forward. Left means CCW right means CW. It's easier than it sounds. With a little practice it becomes natural to do.
Just a heads up ADS (Advanced Drainage Systems) the inventor of this type of drainage pipe (poly pipe) recommends 12" of compacted fill for the pipe to be load bearing.
We used to use Crisco (vegetable shortening ) to lube the pipe. It will not damage it in any way. Just make sure you have the 12". That bedding material looks great. Good job.
Years ago, we had a driveway cut in to a house. We were required to have a culvert under the drive by the road because of ditching along each side of the road. Gravel base was laid, and 12 inch diameter plastic pipe, 16 foot long was set in then covered with the driveway gravel. Still there
Mike this is my go-to channel on You Tube. I don't know what is more important, my coffee or your posts. :-) Anyhow, suggestion is what to do with the excess soil; fill in a mound on ricochet hill behind your target range. :-) Softer soil only, not shale.
Okay, a little background. My Dad was an NRA instructor, and I proudly became Sharpshooter 11th bar in the NRA after two years of practicing starting at 9 years of age at the Marine barracks under my Dad's tutelage. I went shooting at a friends farm with his 30-06 and when we inspected the target, I saw right behind it where every round was deflected into the air instead of going into the ground. No telling where that round went, even miles away.
The other alternative is plate steel at a 45 degree angle into the ground deflecting every round in some sand. With your equipment, and since you are right there anyway, and have excess soil it would be a good idea.
I bought my wife a set of 3M bluetooth headphones. She uses them when mowing and loves them. Anything I can do to encourage her to help with mowing is a good thing in my opinion!
Mike good to see Levi and hear him actually talk of what he has been doing with his tree growing. He seams very knowledgeable about trees, that a good thing to see from a young fellow his age. You must be proud to have him work with you and maybe someday down the road he will take over doing what you do in the future.
I tried to use a shovel one time but couldn't find the on-off switch so I gave up.
❤
@@Rich-l6r😂😂❤
You should try a cordless hammer too.
@@Rich-l6r Bet he had a PhD.
As per 50years in the construction field (as a Super), the minimum size to use for onsite drainage is 15" (either plastic or RCP concrete pipe )----in a heavy rain situation, you will find 12" to be undersized---just saying----typically, we used the 12" for connection of the downspouts for roof drainage to a nearby catch basin ----using the stone for base and backfill is good, but not to large as it will puncture the plastic pipe from the load placed on it for the remainder of the backfill and a fabric cover of the backfilled stone is usually required !!! Sorry about the rambling----just in my blood!!!!!!
Anyone see the irony in seeing the Cyber truck at a gas station?😂
HAHAH I spotted the "Photo Bomb" too....
Gotta get snacks!!!
You mentioned lower back issues, and I would suggest that taking high doses of Vitamin C could be very beneficial.
25 years ago, when I was in my late 40's and had back problems about every year, I read an article saying that 5 grams daily of Vitamin C would strengthen your back. Vitamin C is cheap, so I tried it. I will be 75 in a couple of weeks and I have not been to a chiropractor in 15 years. I have moved engines and transmissions and a few pianos and lots of logs, and the worst I have done is a couple of pulled muscles and they never laid me up, just gave me a wake-up.
Turn out that Vitamin C is crucial to the integrity of the collagen protein which is the primary building block in our bodies. Skin, blood vessels, joints, and even our bones (osteoporosis is a Vitamin C deficiency disease) are dependent upon adequate Vitamin C.
Most mammals synthesize their own Vitamin C, but primates and fruit bats and a few others cannot. The gene for synthesis is turned off and we must get our Vitamin C in our diets.
Dr Thomas Levy wrote PRIMAL PANACEA which explains how crucial Vitamin C is to optimum health.
LOL Good story on the pipe. I have been a mechanic for over 40 YRS. You would not believe the number of people who tell me how to do my job. The worst is when people ask my advice and than tell me why they think I am wrong. School teachers are the worst offenders, they have a theory and ask me questions , they only want me to confirm they are correct.
I'm in chilly Warrnambool (Coastal town waaaay out of Melbourne) and we don't mess with the kangaroos and they don't mess with us here so we don't get mad at anyone. Mike, long time no type but I still look in and you are still doing great in my opinion.
I mind my own business and never tell anyone what to do. Spent a few years looking in here and I love what you and Melissa do. Keep on trucking (Now I go back to writing software!!)
Great work done right. Hello from west central Virginia. I was raised on a small farm near Orbisonia, PA (near Shade Gap), spent some time in the Navy and then St. Pete, FL. Our terrain here is a lot like your home in PA and your place in WV. We enjoy the beach, but I love the trees, hills and the way it feels around here-kind of like my PA hometown. Take good care of your back and be careful! Thanks for sharing part of your family's journey with us.
It’s been my experience that even haphazardly installed culverts almost never fail. When a heavy vehicle is crossing them there is never a time when their entire weight is on the culvert, and what weight is on it is only there for a second or two, so it’s really not an issue.
Post 10 would like to disagree with you. He sees way too many of the plastic ones damaged in the NE. Mainly because the people who put them in don't use a proper sized one. Don't try putting in a 12 inch one and expect it to move a 24" culvert's amount of water and frost heave is a real problem in the NE but not so much in Ohio, WV, or VA.
@@gravelydon7072 yeah, you need the proper size for water movement but as far as driving something over it it takes a lot to actually damage one, regardless of the size.
In Indiana, if you live on a State Highway, the state puts the culvert pipe in to your drive. However, if it's a county road, you are on your own. When I first built on my property, it was just pasture land. I actually had to drive UP to get off the road to the property. The county came by a year or so later and said they were digging drainage ditches and I was required to install a culvert pipe. I needed a driveway permit or pay a penalty. They gave me 3 days to get it in. I actually got old metal culvert pipe free from the state, they were upgrading. Hand dug the hole and installed it. YES, I have back problems too. lol
It's always interesting to learn different ways to do a job. I always used clay compacted around the pipe, but now I know a different way to install a pipe. Have a job coming up that I would have to haul in loads of clay to install a culvert but now I'm going to copy how you did yours, and will be able to save my customer a couple of bucks. Thanks Mike
It was nice to hear from Levi and I hope we get to hear from him more often. I think he has a lot of interesting information to share with the viewers. Levi has got a great work ethic and knows what he’s talking about that’s for sure 👍🏻🙂
Thank you Mike for not putting the blame on our present Administration . Everything has been going up in price and we are unable to stop it . Trying to catch up on the deficit . We are currently having a covered deck built and those materials have risen much . Thank you for sharing your great videos !
Levi seems very knowledgeable on plants and trees. I just planted nine American chestnut trees and am excited to watch them grow.
When Levi was talking I was surprised to learn that some species take a couple years to germinate. Dam squirrels and raccoons stopped a bunch of my American chestnuts. Saved some and moved closer to the house. Butternut and shagback hickory just starting to emerge. Levi needs to post more on his trees 😊 Have a great day
Hey folks, I'm the guy from Australia. Sorry about that Mike, I was having a bad day. I got beat up by a kangaroo and was just in a horrible mood. For the record you actually do great culverts!!
Sorry, wrong.
LOL!
And here we thought Aussies were tough. Got beat up by a 🤣🤣🤣🤣'Roo. We know who wasn't a boxing champ.😁
I have been through a few shovels myself! I was a Hod Carrier for my dad in the masonry business until I was 18 and got my Mason card. I started going to work with him when I was about 5! I don't think I was a lot of help, but I went. My last laborer job was a warehouse using Cherokee block filled with perlite. Daily a semi would pull in and dump a frameless end dump trailer of sand. We still mixed mortar using sand, no hoppers. We would go through one of those a day and then shovel it again as mortar. I wouldn't change what I did for anything, but I am happy to be retired. You mentioned your boots and mud. I know you hate your boots and mud! lol I always liked slip on wolverine 10" boots with a wedge heel. Culvert looks good!
I'm old enough to remember when Wolverine Boots were proudly made in the USA. And they were good long wearing boots.
Mike: I have had mine ever since I bought my BX23S. Three years now. They are great. Great work on the culvert. I put them down for my eaves trough drain pipes. Heck, I even drive over them. Take care and stay safe. PS: the complainer got a new job installing in ground sprinklers at the local playground.
Hey Mike, if we win the lottery how about we find an old broken down cement truck and set across the driveway. Then tell grumpy we have his 1000 dollars but he has to come collect it! LOL
Lol
Mike, your story about the Aussie made my day. He reminds me of several people I know which includes a brother in law. They know all but have nothing to show for it. I’ve been watching you guys for a while now and am impressed with your knowledge on everything you have done. Keep on “keeping on”!
Mike, altho we've never met in person, if I was a kid growing up I'd be dam proud to call you pop! Your balance of family, work, friends and nature is all the proof I need to know what a good man you are. The old Aussie should A. Open up a business and run his own show, then we'll all judge his work. B. Set back down and have another pint of Dog Bolters. Yea, I been all over Australia ;)
Mike, you don't now just how timely this video was for me. I have to put in 3 of these on my property, and I have watched all the others you did, but this really helped. As for the guy who complained, well I guess some folks just don't have anything to do. God Bless ya. Keep on doing what you do. I love it!
For Eli - Dogwoods have a couple of common diseases that affect them - Powdery Mildew and Anthracnose. If you can plant them in well drained soil, they will do better.
Hi Mike, i got sick of dropping and losing my phone. I attached it to a lanyard and so around my neck with the phone in my top shirt pocket. Never dropped or lost it since. Cheers Steve Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Talking about how a person's job can wear on thier body. My kids ask me why when I get up in the morning it takes me 10 or 12 steps to get limber, they don't understand that 30 years on physical work in the construction industry can stiffen a guy up. I am surprised that Tom seems to be in such good form as almost every concrete guy I know has some sort of back issue.
Good to see your vids again. I was the person who sent the dog vests but after that I had a heart attack and has taken me over 2 1/2 years to get well. Looking forward for more of your videous again. From the great white north.
Mike , a great job on the 14 inch installation. The gravel mix you used will really pack down well. The culvert should have no problem draining with the drop you've created. With a decent berm to allow settlement and a top dress of good road gravel . The road should pack well and handle any heavy truck traffic. It was also nice to meet your son Levi as well. He's also a great worker and a big help to your wood yard operations & etc.
DELIGHTFUL BACKGROUND MUSIC. Your story about the Aussie expert on PA roadways and culverts just reminded me that it takes all kind of people to keep the world going round. I am glad you can laugh it off.
Hey Mike, I just emailed NASA and told them to never pull the space shuttle over your culvert pipe. I mentioned to them that if they did the booster bearings would snap off. Also that culvert pipe is not even on your property, it’s the native indians responsible to install that. You never even gave thought of all that rushing water is going to completely flood the town in the valley! Other than that, great job!😁👍🏼
Good job on the install. Also great advice for the pipe assembly lube. Any pipe dealer worth their salt will include the proper amount of joint lube with the pipe just ask when buying the pipes. I have sold miles of that pipe and always would buy those plastic inexpensive Tupperware tubs to make smaller portions from the large tubs of the joint lubricant for smaller jobs such as this. Vegetable shortening also works in a pinch such as Crisco
As you mentioned, lots of good people in Australia but there will always be someone who doesn't agree with the topic. Well done from a Queenslander!😀
I agree, many good people in Queensland so don’t let one person discolour your view of all of us.
Couldn't agree more, even people from New South Wales have some manners! How sad do you feel for his wife partner, children and grandchildren!! Gav, Wolumla NSW, Aust. 🤣
If the youtube thing ever dies out you could offer masters classes in driveway construction. You've definitely presented your thesis and earned your PhD in dirt work through what you've built. Professor Mike has a nice ring to it! 👨🏻🎓
Tesla Cybertruck at the 3:30 mark. Somebody had a lot of money to burn.
I recently saw a Cybertruck in Altoona, Pa. Maybe it's the same person.
Mike, sorry about that email. That really sucks. There is always a few vindictive knuckleheads in the crowd. You need to keep on keeping on. I help neighbors around me with pipes. We never had an engineer size one. If I call the state they will help me size it. There are also charts for sizing. We always try to do bigger than required. We have done tons of single wall pipe. We did learn the hard way to run the pipe either on the property line or onto the person property a foot or two. The reason being is because when teh state comes here witha grader for snow removal, they have snagged pipes and tore them or ripped them out before.
Love your videos. Keep up the good work.
I like how Levi knows about trees and vegetation.
On the dent interest - one party seems convinced that we need to keep spending, expand entitlements (free healthcare, tuition, expand SS, 'cancel' student loans) and that the answer to everything is 'tax the rich!". IF (big if) the US could seize the wealth of all US billionaires, and somehow convert to cash 1:1 (reality: equities would sink from the selling), it could run the federal government for about 9 months. US spent $700 million PER HOUR in 2022, and debt interesting is rising fast.
Proper install, indeed. Exactly perfect. I used to be the Asst Public Works Director for our town when we first approved HDPE Double Wall. It was far superior to every other pipe in so many ways. The reason is that it's easier to do a proper installation. As you say, good or bad pipe comes down to the quality of the bedding and backfill, but most importantly, the selling of the joints. Concrete pipe is strong but there's a joint or a lifting hole every 4 feet. After a dozen years or so, we'd get sinkholes every 4 feet from bad joints on concrete pipe. Expansive clay soils would move that pipe around after the joints dried out. Don't have ghat problem with HDPE. (They make it locally so transportation is cheap as well.)
Also, that was in the late 1990s. The manufacturer recommended using a chainsaw to cut it because battery-powered reciprocating saws weren't a thing back then.
I like the fact that you didn’t name and shame that guy, and then block him from your site. Well done. Enjoyed the video too. Mesmerising to watch you in the digger. 👍🏿
Mike, in the south we have a saying about poison ivy vs Virginia creeper. "Leaves of three, let it be. Leaves of five, let it thrive."
Got a chuckle out of the cyber truck over your shoulder as you talked about what you spent for the day.
Mike, How would you like to be that guys neighbor? YIKES! The batteries in my shovels are always dead😳😉 It’s a beautiful morning in Oklahoma!
Dog Wood is southern. I think the very cold you get from time to time does them in. Some towns near by us have tours every year. Carolinas (Cornus florida) westward to East Texas is native. Zone 1,3.A northern version: Cornus drummondii - small flowers In fuzzes groups. The Southern have 4 2" petals. Striking crosses. Notch in the end.
Levi is a super smart young man!
Your monies safe there Mike. We use those pipes in an iron ore mine with CAT793 dump trucks running over them. Never seen one collapse yet. I have heard the strength comes from the corrugations / ridges. Only time I’ve seen them damaged is when someone accidentally hits it with a dozer or digger. The extra length you had extending out will prevent corrosion from water. Keep up the good work brother, very neat & tidy. Cheers, Barry. Perth, 🇦🇺 Australia.
Mike, there's an old saying, "Those who think they know it all, annoy us who do"
I like the frame in frame. Nice editing. Good stories. More plant talk with Levi please. My Botany classes were a long time ago. I have Dogwoods in my front yard here in NC that are way older than me and still a small tree, 12 inch DBH or so. Probably pushing 100 years old. They are sturdy slow growing understory trees. I'm going to look over my glasses and give anyone that touches them a stern look.
To the NutJob: Thank you for supporting OWTM! Keep up the crazy! It makes for good content and helps this channel grow!
I can imagine Tom telling you that he can't drive a truck over your culvert and keeping a straight face for maybe five seconds before you're both falling on the floor laughing.
I watched you install a car covert pipe and let me tell you if that cold were Piper comes up. You know it's gonna be a miracle because you pack that in so well and put so much feel around it. He just aint coming up. And his ground is different in Australia, then. Our ground is over here. So he needs to understand his dirt. One way are dirt, another and Mike. You did a beautiful job on that Cobra on your driveway. And I wouldn't mind you doing mine, but I'm in. Texas, so you can't get down here to do it. And I wouldn't want you to? Because it's too far, but thank you we. Enjoy your videos, and this guy needs to shut his mouth
Did you have that culvert in the woods designed by an engineer? I wouldn’t want it to collapse with all the side by side traffic. lol. Some people… LOVE the channel! Thanks so much for it.
It's not so much what the whacked Aussie said that's scary, it's how invested some people are in your lives. This is entertainment, folks. If you're invested any more than being entertained with the bonus of interacting with the performers, you need help. I'm relieved there's an ocean between yall. 😮
Mike , one of the things I dislike the most is when either you, other TH-cam Channels or even posts on our Local Nextdoor sites talk about bad service or comments and refuse to call those MO-RONS out. JUST DO IT and maybe they will think twice about the comments they make.🤘
I'm guessing that Aussie put a culvert pipe in and it failed!. And he ran into issues "down under" no pun intended!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I imagine he's an old envious curmudgeon since Mike said he's a repeat offender with multiple negative comments.
I'm thinking he was kicked by a Kangaroo and was left a little dizzy...
I'm guessing he is either an engineer, or even worse, someone that wants to be an engineer.
And, agree, he has mental issues.
@@4BikeMike haha I’m sure that is exactly what happened…too much time on his hands
Mike I like to poke the bear! LOL
You should video the interior of that now famous culvert pipe for a follow up video. Just so “we” and our now famous Aussie buddy can see.
I’ve been watching you from way back before tractor agreement days. I still remember the perfect stacks of firewood in your back yard. Lots of improvements since then. Proofs in the pudding, seems like things work you’ve done is holding out pretty well.
Keep up the “Good” work mate! LOL, that was for our Aussie buddy!
Government prints like a drunken sailor
Ad says we owe it.
Make Joe pay for it now.
Keep in mind the previous president, and now convicted felon, increased the debt more than any president in history, including the current one. Trump literally borrowed 25% of the total prior debt during his term. Don’t blame Joe - the orange man did far worse giving ridiculous tax breaks to the ultra wealthy.
Hey now, as a retired sailor I take offense. At some point we run out of my money and have to go back to the ship to sober up.😂😂
@@tederdmann2993 TRUMP 2024
Joe gives sailors a bad name. I’m an old sailor from years ago. I don’t care to ever be associated with him and damn sure won’t vote for the idiot.
From what I can tell not being a content creator this is more common than most people realize. I guess it's a jealousy thing. For whatever reason they are unable to process the things you do that they can't. Anyway keep up the good work. I'm retired and your videos helpe me in planning some of the projects I do on my little 12 acre property.
That Virginia Creeper dude was me. I did see the poison ivy also, but the big one towards the haas was Creeper. At least you didn't call me a nut job, and proof positive you do read the comments. 😁
This is Marty from Kentucky. Darnit Mike you did not put up a road closed sign while you were digging that culvert. Someone could have gotten killed ! I am going to warn all the deer in that area not to use your road.................... LOL great job as usual Mike. Have a day.
Good morning Mike and OWTM community...what a great way to start the weekend...thanks Mike. Stat safe, stay healthy. Steve in Calgary
Morning!
Morning Steve.... I think it's a lawn cutting, pop drinking day...🌞
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgansmy Martin Magee Hi
Mike I may have been one of those penal implants that told you if you can't do it with a machine it's not worth doing. Cranberry township would probably hire you to do all their culvert work. Keep up the good work
I’m glad you gave me a mention people would think it was me🤣
Great job Michael👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
We kiwis in New Zealand have learnt if you watch someone doing a stuff up its better to leave them to and have a good laugh with them or at them when the key learning has been realized!!.. have a great day from kiwi land!!..👍
Good Saturday morning Morgan family! Beautiful weekend in store here for SE PA. Have a fantastic weekend!
Good morning!
😂 Just about every TH-cam video has comments from nut jobs , know it all bozos and self appointed experts. For the most part they only remind us how much we like normal people.😅
Outstanding drainage project and Tom approved 😉. Enjoyed your discussion with Levi about poison ivy. We’ve declared war on that vine in our forest trees. Have a good weekend Mike.
Mike, there are enough goofballs in your own vicinity to ignore that kind of moron way far away. After watching your work ethics for years, I can't imagine
you doing any job less than your best. Keep on doing good work and make us proud.
Yup, like the Trump nutjobs
Still impressed by the level of finesse you show when you're moving stone with that skid steer.
Hey Mike… I was taught that the reason dogwoods don’t get very large is because that was the tree that was used to make the cross that Jesus was crucified on. Since then, the tree has been designated to never be large enough to do that again.
Really enjoyed this segment. Always nice learn something new from others that been round that block before. Appreciate Outdoors With The Morgans, first class operation and good people.
The U.S. is spending more interest on debt now, Than it does on the whole military. I do not need to tell Y,all how big the U.S. Military is.
The US military is not big enough.
I have a rule in life, I only give encouragement. I never offer advice or give an opinion to someone unless asked for one.
It’s like we are living in an episode of the Jerry Springer show. Our country is in a mess!
Keep up the good work, Mike.
It always amazes me on How many experts are out there sitting on mom and dads couch in the basement trolling TH-cam and tick tok for a living just to comment on how I’m doing it wrong 😂
I thought I was the only one who had those kind of commenters 😂🤣
Your story makes me feel much better!
Glad you didn't do the Hoss rollover
Mike, that was an interesting story about the emailing Aussie! Some people just can’t resist making themselves look ridiculous! Good video!
Mike there loose nuts rolling around this plant all over the place. you and the family are doing a great job supporting one another in your adventures and projects keep it up and keep positive we love you guy's say high to the Hunt man for us we miss him.
The large pipe is great - leaves will stuff the pipe if 6" and maybe 8". I have that. I have two pipes and the top one catches branches and junk. Constant fight with 600' of water and the highway is over built so some of it flows in and around my driveway. They paved over the gutter. So, the storm drain doesn't get what it should.
Het Mike, new to your channel. I'm in Queensland Australia, and I guess every place has the occasional Nut Job skulking around. I thought you'd be used to the "I know more than you do" ers out there. Don't worry about him. He's probably just another Drongo that hasn't been taking his meds. Cheers bloke, you do well!!
"Crikey Mate! It almost looked like you knew what you were doing there!" 🤣😂😁
I would be curious to know what your "Aussie Nut Job" does for a living and wonder what his "expertise" is!
I LOVED that little move at the 26:50 mark where you used the bucket to "lift" the excavator just enough to prevent dirt from being pulled into your ditch.
I am always learning something from your videos.
Crikey! Did I just credit you for something good?!"
BTW, I am from the midwest. NOT AUSTRALIA!!!
This country is in big trouble. Everything is on Nov 5th.
It certainly is. Hope the adult, non felon wins.
@@andyrobinson339 Mr. Poopy pants ?
There's always at least one who 1. Can't recognize the lies and deceit of the Dems, and 2. Defends the lies and deceit even though they know they're being lied to. Yes, you @andyrobinson339
We are way past voting improvement.
@@andyrobinson339the one that the special council found to have wilfully retained classified documents and knowingly shared with his ghost writer so he could pocket $8 million for a book. But would present as a forgetful old man so was let off.? Wake up and smell the real tyranny or stay asleep , but don't project your ignorance as moral superiority .
Neighbor across the street asked the township if they could replace the culvert pipe in the ditch going into his yard under his Driveway in there ditch and thy said they could do it but it would cost him $3700 for them to do it .
To be honest, your excavator is becoming my favorite machine on the ranch (ranch, is that the right word, is it a ranch or homestead - not sure what to call this awesome piece of heaven??). The F350 is way up there but the excavator is a super cool too!
Good morning to Hunter 👋👋😸and family and friends , Happy Caturday everyone 😸😺
Good morning!
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans / Good morning Mike & Melissa 👋😸😺
Morning BadCat, enjoy your 🌞🌞 weekend
@@peteatthefarm4459 / Thanks Pete , you too 👍😸😺
I make no claim to sanity or normality, but I enjoy what you do! Keep up the good work, and I'll keep watching and commenting!
Excellent job Mike! Had to chuckle at your "caddy shack" reference "I don't think the heavy stuff will be here in a while "
In Hancock County on the Mississippi coast you have to buy the right diameter pipe and the County will install it for you. They set it at the proper grade a d supp.y the limestone for the cover. Have fun and stay safe!
In Texas, if you put in a culvert, the county or state highway department does the install since it connects to their road. You get the pipe and mark and position where you want it and they come put it in for you and tie to their road. What you are doing now is all on you.
Hi Mike. I knew a Irish man that does concrete work. Nut job. He was talking weird & not making any sense. He did a great job. I met other Irish men as an adult & they were " normal." That " back fill stone" is great. It's better than 2B limestone. I've seen Vermont construction companies use a marble like material. They roll it & compacts like asphalt. I'm concerned about that material in Vermont's winters. The snow plows still rip that material up. Levi is like Johnny Appleseed of nowadays. Thanks Levi for sharing. 😍😊😉👍Say Hi to Melissa, Eva, & Hunter. 😍😊😊👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
