I personally would have pulled my material in towards the center of the job and drove up on top with the mini. 24" high maybe. From there you can swing 360 deg. on your material and keep pulling it in towards you. You also would have been higher. Easer to see and clear your sideboards. I like your diligence on the overhead wires. Keep the same diligence on what's under your feet. Them Kubota's look bad sitting in a collapsed septic tank. And some High Vis. vests.
One idea is to have your loading point (dump truck, dump trailer or dumpster) lower if possible. As long as site allows. Might even go as far as picking wood out first with excavator and THEN loading the heavy material. Awesome job guys.
Would dumping the bricks at your shop until they could be sorted and palletized have caused problems? If not, that's the way to go when the mortar is just falling off old brick like that.
Yelp there is a demo company here that used to pay folks to sit and clean and stack them on a pallet. Back then it was 2 for a penny and I bet there was 20 people out there doing it every day. I was just a kid running a bait shop next door and I thought I might try that someday but after talking to them I said naw not for me and that was 52 years ago
Awesome video man I’ve been putting this off for almost 2 years I’m fixing to start doing small jobs myself I have a little experience but pretty green just have to start and always try to learn every day before you know it your a great operator and hands on learning beats anything you watch or read 🤙
Hardest part about that job is the fact that all of the bricks came apart. It would have been easier to load out bigger sections of the walls. You did good operating. A little slow but speed comes with practice.
Yea that was a little tough to watch as an operator lol. Everyone starts somewhere, you’ll get it in no time. Better to be safe around Utility lines. I’m this case I would’ve dropped the van off the trailer and give myself a little more height. I also would’ve scraped all the bricks up to a pile to make getting a full bucket easier.looks like by the end you pretty much got that figured out. Good work
I would love to see some walkthroughs of old houses or commercial buildings to highlight the history, craftsmanship, and thought process behind the old building methods and topics being discussed.
I put Christmas lights on every roof is downtown Sapulpa ok. And those old 3 to 10 stories buildings u could that your thumb nail and loosen that cement in those bricks. It was scary leaning on some of those walls
Here is some sage advice, Time is money on every job. Save the instructional for downtime, and make the most of your time in the field. First and foremost, both machines should be on-site. Secondly, I would sort with the Mini, and load out with the Skid. I love your channel and crave more content, please do not take what I said as criticism. Oh almost forgot, please look into a rake attachment for the mini, you'll love it when sorting and prepping the site post load out. Topsoil, Seed and Hay, all done. #notroasting
Oh my gosh, I love your sarcasm, and Yep those know it all’s will tell you at all, but they don’t really know, because nobody knows at all. Everybody Hass to start somewhere. Might take you a little longer at first, but you’ll have it mastered in no time. That was not a fun place to be working around those wires. He did a great job.😀👍❤️❤️❤️
I'd suggest you operators wear hard hats on the job. The ground man will definitely get concussed if he ever gets wacked by the boom or bucket. Work Safe!
Don't worry Clayton I'm not gonna roast you Only way you get better at running equipment is by getting behind the controls and running it. The only thing I would probably done different is pulled out the rest of the brick foundation so they don't have to mess with it in the future and you don't have to worry about trying to fill over the top of it With dirt. And for a job like that in my area any where from $4000‐$6000.
Hell ya man appreciate the long vids and keeping up with the content I enjoy watching you progress in the business keep up the good work grind never stops!
It was more an opportunity to learn the mini more. Plus, it would have been a bit of a haul to go out to the shop and swap machines, we were also worried with the rain that the skid would rut up the yard more. We really didn't anticipate the structure to literally crumble when we simply bumped it. Wish it would have been in chunks more. Thanks as always for watching!
@@rollingops One thing at a time, It all comes with seat time. As well as raking all the debris up towards you in a pile and sitting the machine on it when you are loading out. Much less risk of killing the side boards on the dump trailer lol
Yep, we both thought the same thing, but this was one of the first time either of us got a chance to run a mini and wanted to use it as a chance for some learning hours!
In a way, it def could! In all honesty, we knew we should of brought the skid we have for the cleanup. But this was the first major job either of us had used a mini on, and we're determined to use it as learning hours!
@@rollingops wasn’t trying to criticize you guys at all, I have less experience than you I’m sure lol just wanted to know because I’ve seen others using them and wondered if it would help. Keep up the good work, best way to learn is to get out there and do it!
Split between a few things calendly form for people to schedule on my site, that loads straight into my Google calendar, I bill people through square, which automatically tracks all of my monthly gross rev!
Lesson for the future, if you buy a machine buy a 19000lb machine such as bobcat e88 or even better yanmar sv100 at 22k weight. Will do anything even land clearing! Been there and done that small excavators anything less then 19k skip, you have a dually!
It's on the list for sure! We bought this one first because it would be good for renting out. We plan to get one smaller, and one bigger as soon as possible
Those darn overhead lines were a killer. A bigger smooth bucket would be nice but going so high to get over the sides of the trailer may not have helped. Could you have gotten the wood out first? But I know safety of collapsing walls was an issue
I really wanted to get that wood out first. But just like you said it wasn't in good shape. Heck, if I had kicked it hard enough on one side, it may have fallen over.
100% agree - we used the mini, more as an opportunity to learn. And didn't feel it was a good use of time to drive all the way back to the shop and swap machines. We also thought the skid may tear up the yard more because of the couple days of rain. Cool thing about the mini was it basically stayed in one place with little movement.
Awesome job. But that whole job is a job for the skid steer. Course if I had that excavator, I would’ve left the skid steer at home and use that for the job lol .
Hey man I noticed right away your tilhumb was out. Getvin the habit of bringing it all the way to the stick, before you either bend or scape the chrome rod at 6:52 i started cringing slightly. Youll get better everyday, you gotta start somewhere. 👍
I would have made enough room for your boom to reach in then knock all the wood inside down clean out that first then once all the wood is cleaned out , push the walls into the center keeping your clean up in the space of the building not contaminating it with the surrounding area less hand work and clean up hope that makes sense. U maybe green but u have a good mind set and common sense 😊
14 yard, I'd have to check on the weight. The cans weigh 2-3k. I typically just worry about my truck and trailer combo Weight. But this older trailer in this video hauls 5 tons comfortably and legally. After that you're risking it for the biscuit

Awesome job guys.
Heads up for the future, there is a good market for salvage brick. Especially the pre-1950s stuff.
I kinda figured! I should of looked into it more. This project literally was "squeezed in"

Yep, we're figuring it out! Really just need more and more hrs in the machine for it to become second nature
I would love to see some walkthroughs of old houses or commercial buildings to highlight the history, craftsmanship, and thought process behind the old building methods and topics being discussed.
Great idea! I'll see if I can get into some sometime

Appreciate you man! That was a fun first demo with that machine!
Did good your still learning I was the same way.
Appreciate you!
Great video! Keep hustling….
Thanks! That one was a fun one
It looked like a great job to learn on without much risk to the nearby fence and structures. Seems like you did a good job to me!
That's how I felt to! Thanks for watching
I'd suggest you operators wear hard hats on the job. The ground man will definitely get concussed if he ever gets wacked by the boom or bucket. Work Safe!
Solid point! We do have some, gotta get in a better habit

People will buy those old bricks for good money, it is like barn wood
Definitely could of kept em
Hell ya man appreciate the long vids and keeping up with the content I enjoy watching you progress in the business keep up the good work grind never stops!
Thanks man! We hope to push it hard this year!
Keep you thumb up to protect rod when using bucket to tear or push stuff over.
Good advice, thanks!
Great content man hoping to get into the roll off game soon
It's been good to me so far! Thanks man!
why not use the skid steer straight bucket for the brick? love these types of vids btw!

If you put your blade down when operating the mini it eliminates a lot of the bounce in the machine and makes for a much nicer day
Yea, it definitely makes a difference
Learn to jump spin, its easier on your tracks. Love the channel bro.
I actually really wish I would have tried that prior to going on site. Didn't want to do it in her wet yard! But I really would like to perfect that.
@@rollingops One thing at a time, It all comes with seat time. As well as raking all the debris up towards you in a pile and sitting the machine on it when you are loading out. Much less risk of killing the side boards on the dump trailer lol
Skid steer for clen up I would have removed wood first but it's your job run it like you are
Yep, we both thought the same thing, but this was one of the first time either of us got a chance to run a mini and wanted to use it as a chance for some learning hours!
I am new to excavating but was curious would a grading bucket work better for these kind of clean up rather than a digging bucket with teeth?

The skid steer would be better for clean up. The scoop is bigger and operates much lower. Learning.

We also thought the skid may tear up the yard more because of the couple days of rain. Cool thing about the mini was it basically stayed in one place with little movement.
Couldn’t you separate the bricks from the glass and everything els and then use those bricks as fill in ?
That's basically what we did!
Awesome job. But that whole job is a job for the skid steer. Course if I had that excavator, I would’ve left the skid steer at home and use that for the job lol .
Lol, yea this was definitely a...."I want to play with this toy today" type of decision

You need to get some speedbinders
I really do
You could be loading that by hand. 😂😂😂
I can't even imagine, roughhh
How much would be a good price to charge for this kinda stuff? Hourly or flat rate? Just curious
I try to do flat rates on garage like demos. Because we usually knock them out in only a few hrs
That roof has got to go first.. so I’ll have to take wall down first. So did u flip a coin to c which 1 got to b first lol
How much was that job?
Damn back in the day you could have sold the brick
If I would of had more lead time instead of squeezing this project in, I probably would of tried!
$3500?
I'd have to look back, but I think we did it for a little more than that
How do you get bids? Is it through an app or website?
People really reach out to me to come see if we can do the work. (Junk removal or light demo)
$2800 American. Which is close to $3800 Canadian. Lol
$4000 actually… 😮
Nailed it actually!
What size is your dump trailer brother and how what does it weigh ?
14 yard, I'd have to check on the weight. The cans weigh 2-3k. I typically just worry about my truck and trailer combo Weight. But this older trailer in this video hauls 5 tons comfortably and legally. After that you're risking it for the biscuit
$2500
Not too far off!
