Diesel and Iron I’ve noticed it’s sad ppl expect professional results from new guys to often in so lucky to have found a boss they said you will perfect it in time can’t get good at something unless you fuck up something first haha
I was watching and u are right he never fill the bucket, and his helper is Soo close. I know sometimes we worked So Close around people . Maybe next time he can wear a hard hat and when he swing the excavator
Depends on a lot of factors. Does dirt get left on sight and graded or does it need to be hauled off? Is it a traditional poured basement or is it a precast Superior Walls basement? Size of the basement will also play a large role. On the low end you are probably looking at $8-10k for a basement dig and backfill.
@@chrisjames7603 where you start will depend on site conditions and where you need dirt. If you plan your dig up front then you can save a lot of time and effort when you grade the lot. Elevation will either be determined by an engineering firm (mostly in subdivisions) or set by the homeowner and dirt contractor.
I wish I knew ambitious craftsmen. :/ Out of all my 'click', I am the only contractor... the rest are video gamers who are content with not knowing how to do anything skillful. :`( FML
@@DieselandIron Im just south of you in Toledo if you ever need IT, low voltage, or high voltage work done. :D Also, I may reach out to you this coming year. Bought a house in 2018, sold it earlier this year, sitting on the money waiting for the market to calm down. I'm either going to build or buy something.. if I build, I'd like for you to quote (if you do work in Ohio). If not, best of luck to you anyway!!
@@billsmith9249 I appreciate the offer! I actually don't have any equipment but feel free to reach out. I'd be up for digging a basement and walking people through the process, start to finish. Maybe we can work something out with renting a machine locally.
Good job man. Layer by layer
Thanks for watching!
Thats some nice soil, really cleans up good.
+movindirt It's all engineered fill so it's hard as a rock but you're right, it really cleans up nice.
Nice job!
Thanks Joe! I appreciate you watching!
I would kill for that thing lol. But my ez17 is getting me there scoops at a time 😆
haha, ya this machine is just a hair bigger!
Very cool video
Thank you!
Hold that rod plum when checking grade
Depends on the tolerance... if it’s +\- 4” for a slab... who cares just make it beep

Did not need grading bucket?
This bucket had spade teeth that were close together. It was almost as clean as a grading bucket
Every bucket is a grading bucket

how long have you been in business?
This was actually working for an employer. They've been in business for 40-50 years I believe.
What does the company charge for something like this?

@@DieselandIron Thank you for your reply. You are an immense help. I appreciate it big time.
@@chrisjames7603 I appreciate you watching Chris! Let me know if you've got more questions.
@@DieselandIron Where do you start usually when you start a basement. Is there a starting grade stick with starting elevation?

Nice.
Chad Kline he probably is not overloading the bucket to prevent spoilage around the truck. I commonly fill bucket to level to minimize material loss.
Wider bucket wider bucket
You guys did a pretty good job keep it up if I was there I would pay you 1,000,000,000
What part of the country do you work in?

We are on the decline which is why I'm working hard with this channel to try and bring some of the excitement back to the trades.
