"sorry for CUSSIN and saying CRAP" 😂😂 yall are too funny
Hey guys great content, watching them with the my two year old son and he loves it!! One suggestion, put up a camera on the edge of the old house and capture the entire build! It would be wicked to see a time lapse video of the whole project:)
Hey gang if you use the claw on the bucket where you've been blowing out it will prevent that. Get to the point where you can't go further, then close the claw to come at it from the other angle. This will create your "guide lines" and loosen up the dirt without letting it blow out.
i was just about to ask about doing that, scrolled down and this is the first comment i see
Thumbs up to you
Are we talking about minute 4?
Great idea
@@patrickcaric4455 ok
So there I was...just a laborer on a private school ~15,000sqft expansion... I got close and personal with the plumbers...because they use backhoes A LOT. Well, the project was big enough for two backhoe operators (at times). One day, a guy named "Rocko" had to locate his backhoe in a spot that was criss-crossed with deep trenches, and other obstacles. "Rocko" used the bucket, the hoe, outriggers and wheels to "walk" the machine into position. "Walk" is the incorrect word: more like CRAWLED LIKE A SPIDER! And he was QUICK! Rocko was putting on a show... in less than a minute, he was in position. My jaw dropped, I'd never seen anything like it before. I have a loud voice, like a stentor. I yelled out, "HEY ROCKO, YOU ARE A BACKHOE DANCER!" So loudly that you could hear me in the next county. Word got around to the other equipment operators. All butt-hurt, they would retort, "Hey, I can dig too!" This is the point: it takes a while to become "a backhoe dancer". It's better to be safe than sorry! Take yir time. Those rascals can cause tremendous damage in an instant....costly....deadly.
This is truly an amazing thing that you guys get to do this. The attention to detail and way dad builds makes for a great home when you’re all done. The memories you’re all creating and the pride you’ll feel after it’s done and you’re living in it is priceless. It’s the kind of thing only a few can ever say. Usually from 100’s of years ago some ancestors have given a select few the privilege of being able to say something like my great-grandfather built this house with his own hands. Now perhaps Jordan’s kids can say the same one day about you guys. Enjoy it and thanks for bringing us along. Cheers from Philly.
Enjoy all our vids, and don’t think there’s 1 vid that stopped watching, and just make things real and enjoy hanging out watching your vids.
Paul, don’t fret if make a mistake when speaking or get embarrassed, just keep going, maybe joke about it; but I wouldn’t stop an o a retake; as shows “real life” and no one is perfect. Actually like seeing the “outtakes” at the end every once in while, always funny especially when have tongue tied wording, 😆, but for me, imo, not big deal…..just wanted you to know.
Thanks for taking us along your journey for stud pack HQ house; when 1st heard idea was like huh, ok……then when saw the drawings/renders, looks amazing and gonna be a super great house/hq. Know those details on finish work gonna be 110% and excited for you all to start the framing process, the fun stuff😉
Cheers✌🏻
As a gardener, I see some berms in your future with that deep back yard. It would make it a really enticing landscape. Landscapers always recommend adding curves that draw you down the path to explore more of whatever is hiding behind that curve.
I felt your frustration, Jordan. Hard not to curse on camera. 😉
I don't know how you all feel about this project... but I'm digging it! LOL... Excellent work with the excavator you're turning into a pro with that machine!
I see what you did there.
I see I see :)
Having bought a newly built home as a new home buyer drew me to this channels content. I'm not a builder, carpenter, etc. but some of your content pulled me into this new build series. Me & my gf look forward to the weekends to see where this goes. Thanks for making this series exciting. Cheers!
Best part of the week… new stud pack video.
I love these videos! I’m on job sites like this every single day. So it helps a little bit when I’m waiting for your videos to come out. Of course when I’m on a job site I think of y’all and start needing a stud pack video ASAP! Lol. Love how much you guys have learned and have grown!!!
Hey guys
I drove by a new commercial building that they were digging the foundation.
In the past, I would have just looked at it like, why are they digging all that dirt out?
Thanks to your video I was able to put together what exactly they were doing and how they were doing it.
I have been watch them progress through the week.
My hat's off to you two. You've taken something that we all take for granted and turned it into a learning experience I will never forget!
Per usual, highly elucidating and very entertaining. Really enjoying your team work and how well the uploads are produced. I remember when Burt Reynolds was the first to put outtakes at the end of his movies for the credits to roll over. Now instead of everyone hitting the doors asap, we hung around for the extra laughs. Great to see the tradition continue.
Pro tip, when you say the controls are backwards I assume that’s in reference to the first excavator you rented. All excavators have two types of controls, backhoe and excavator. I think on that model if you lift the rubber floor mat there’s a panel with a valve under it. One label may say ISO. If you turn that valve it will reverse the controls. I learned on backhoe so that’s how I like it. Everyone I worn with prefers ISO so I always have to switch them. This takes me back to my first days on an excavator when you treat it more like a truck. I mean worried about falling in the ditch or turning over, etc. once you get used to how bottom heavy it is combined with how the boom can basically pick the thing up, you get way more comfortable driving it.
Great explanation! I remember how happy I was when I realized I could change the settings.
It was because the machine was rotated 180 degrees 😅
@@StudPack It's probably a little late but I also wanted to mention that the back of these machines have a huge counter weight. Just so you are aware, a lot of time when your bucket is empty and you are not reaching out with the boom, the back of the machine (opposite side of the boom arm) is the heavier side. The huge counter weight allows you to reach out and dig without the machine tipping into the hole you are making. Just check out around the engine bay area, it's all a huge block of solid cast iron that's only there to act as a counter weight to the boom. Pretty common on most machinery of this kind.
This is why you will usually back these machines onto a trailer so the heavy side is adding more tongue weight.
I say this because when you were backing over the trench you actually had the heavy side going first.
Lol yeah the blade is always the forward direction regardless of which way the "operator" is facing
I think he was only referring to the travel controls as he had the final drives facing forward, but what you said is still correct
You guys have very calm attitudes for construction workers 👍
Learning is part of the adventure. You guys did really good 👊
What you were wanting to do is called spin off \ out of your trench \ ditch... It is difficult and it puts a lot of pressure on one side so with the dirt you were working on, you would have collapsed your trench anyhow. 🤷♂️
A pro tip... Curl your bucket so the teeth are parallel (flat) with the bottom of your trench then stick in, this way you get a very nice flat bottom trench without any over dig from the teeth. It helps keep the bottom of the trench compacted better. 😘
Oh yeah and watch out for houses they can jump out of know where 🤣
Jordan, Ignore the few negative comments. Just keep enjoying the process and making the videos! Just a little audible feedback from a viewer.
I don’t like responding to negative comments, Haven’t for 4 years, but sometimes a good roast is healthy! 😉
This is going well. Part of me is happy to see the build as it goes, but another part wishes it was done so I could binge watch it.
Same here, lol
Me too
What Netflix has done to us
man, I agree lol. I am almost done my backlog, been great watching during my insomnia
I hit the like button right after bustin' the siding and taking out the tripod. Thanks for keeping it real!
This video series by far is what I look forward to each week. Keep it up.
Love the bloopers at the end!
Hey gang you guys are doing a great job for newbies to ground up construction. I have been in the construction industry for a little over 33yrs and having done many projects even the seasoned contractors have issues with different things but being able to overcome them and pushing on is the main goal. Good job! The form repairs are minor and there are a few different methods to fixing that. I wish u guys were closer to me I would love to hang out for no cost and share some knowledge with you on your journey but I'm in PA. That's a little too far! Keep up the good videos cant wait to see it complete.
I have been watching videos like yours for a long time. It’s amazing how much it has helped. But I can’t believe I only recently found your vids. By far yours are my favorite. You make me feel like I’m at the job site with you and I totally relate to a lot of the problems you have. Keep up the good hard work guys. Appreciate it
Still laughing at the "I need audible feedback" comment, a true classic well done team.
Extended silence can be nerve wracking when you can’t see what’s happening.
What I like about the Flub Pack House Project is the honesty of the guys. Nobody is trying to edit out the oops moments and we get to learn when they do. Loving the project and will continue to watch.
Another great video!! I had a thought - Although it may take away a bit of the anticipation for the videos every week, have you ever considered just setting up a camera on the roof of the house and live-streaming your work on the foundation? Just ambient noise, so nothing crazy with audio… might be cool to see who is interested to watch you guys work live. Might not be worth it, but I’ve seen other folks do live streams like that. Can’t wait for next week’s video! Also, congrats on the AG1 sponsor!
@StudPack1_... Scammer
DEATH STAR RUN! 🤣 That got me good. My 4 yr old son has been really loving the last few Stud pack vids with all the big time construction vehicles. Love the channel and love the work you guys are doing! Thanks again for all the great informative content.
Good work guys. For future reference, you might want to look into powered wheel barrows, or what some people call a Georgia Buggy. They can carry a bigger and heavier load. Especially helpful if you are going to have to wheel barrow concrete. I know for this pad you have the concrete subbed out, but check them out, who knows when "knowledge is power".
I agree. I have a Whitman powered wheelbarrow with a 13 horse Honda. You only have to handle the material once that way. Load it straight from the excavator bucket into the wheelbarrow. I can fit about 2000 pounds in one load and it can transport it faster and cleaner than a skid steer in tight locations. It's also good for removing large amounts of concrete from a back yard
They need a skid loader not a buggy
@@lightningdemolition1964 and Dallas. Dudes, you're dead right! A powered wheelbarrow is out of this world. I'm thinking about modifying one of my Jackson's with a motor. Or just cobbling wheels on the legs. It would be a start. I know an older guy who loves his landscaping, flower pots, various decorative stone pathways, etc. I figure that I'll make a nice one for him: wide foam filled wheels all around, because they'll be gentle on his yards and his pristine concrete. He has a small lot, so nothing beefy is necessary. Yeah, that would be cool.
I have a DP Power Wagon with a dump... fantastic investment. Holds up to 800 lbs and can even turn into a flatbed. Rocks, dirt, brick, sand, whatever.
In our area, a builder would just scrape the lot fairly level, bring in some sandy fill, dig the minimum footings and pour the slab. The homeowner gets to enjoy the cracks and foundation leveling that comes later.
Man you guys have came along way, I've been a long time subscriber. Hell I remember when Jordan didn't even talk.
Now my weekend can begin 🤪. Thanks Gang!
Great job guys! What I like most is your courage (tempered with common sense) to move into new territory for your skills. As you go along, be sure to explain for newcomers what is going on: you are experienced remodel experts who are doing your first house from scratch ,for Jordan.
I swear at this pace its going to be like 10 videos on just the pouring the slab alone lol. This is taking forever lol
I'm thinking about everything you're learning and about all the really helpful comments that when appplied will make the house foundation go even smoother. Great work.
Congrats on the sponsor, guys. Hope that helps Jordan's pocketbook at least a little!
I’m learning a lot about site prep, also that Jordon has a pocketbook 😂
Absolutely love this project. Y’all are doing a great job for your first time. Can’t wait to see those grade beams poured and watch this awesome garage take shape. Thank you for my Saturday morning vibes
That tripod is going to sue for workman's comp.
Great work gentlemen! Congrats on the sponsorship, you all deserve it!
Great job next time try shooting. Aerial view of the dig using a drone would be cool … Aloha from Hawaii. Studs🤙🏽
Always a good day when there is a stud pack 25 min video!!! Love the long videos filled with progress! Keep it up! Maybe next time I am in Houston I can come by and have a looksie!!
You could sell tickets to see the concrete pour live. Looking forward to it
“I never liked that tripod !” As you slap the crap out of it with the machine 😂
Good work guys. Been here since the channel beginning and it's exciting to see how this house will be done as you learn, and knowing you guys don't cut corners. Although the excavator cut a couple corners out here :)
Great line, "I need some audible feedback, I don't know what this silent XXX is about."
happy to see y'all gettin some of that AG1 money! Y'all deserve it. Gotta get some of that sweet sweet Keeps cash next!!!
Hey Jordan! You're doing good. I see that you're learning how valuable the Thumb is on that bucket. I wouldn't want an excavator without a Thumb. Two in One tip for ya: If you had to back over a ditch even wider than your 16", keep in mind that if you extend the boom further away from you, it will give even more counter-balance. Plus, a LOADED bucket gives you even more leverage.
Looks good. 👍 A couple more weeks and we’ll be seeing some framing. Awesome work guys.
"Death Star Run." Construction term of the year award! 😅🤣😂😉
You guys are the best. I can’t wait to see the pour and really excited once the framing stage hits!!! Keep rocking
Ah yesss bloopers :D And you guys should think about getting a Patreon page rather than doing nonsense promo for a weird drink. I'd pay $5 a month for more bloopers! :D
Things that I've taken away from watching this video.
1 - Contract out big jobs.
2 - See #1
I wish I could’ve told y’all to use plywood over the gaps to ride on
Looks like you guys are having fun doing your work. That’s what keeps things light and moving ahead. Thanks guys
great job guys... kicking butt and taking names. hahaha!!! keep them coming!
Lol, feels like Dad ought to be at the controls of the excavator and let the young bucks push the wheelbarrows. J/k, keep up the awesome work guys your vids are must watch viewing every Saturday.
First time I’ve ever heard anyone actually cuss on the channel! Reminds me how good your manners are. Just wanted to give poor Jordan a hug, there’s nothing worse than doing something like that for the first time and everyone just watching (in silent approval) while you don’t know what’s actually going on under the machine! Now it sounds like family working! 😂 I work with mine and there’s usually a few blue streaks in the air, from multiple people, and often at the same time!
You guys are working hard!
I love how the project is coming along. For the house foundations though... you might wanna reconsider the order of operations, and instead of digging down to solid clay, fill with select fill and then dig. You might wanna dig down to solid clay, set up forms all the way down to the solid clay for the foundation and then use select fill in between the beams and compact it. That way you have perfect foundations, and you are not paying for select fill that you later on have to dig out or have it taking up space in your site. Another way would be to use just a thin layer of select fill on the bottom just to level it under the forms and then do the beams and the select fill. Just a thought! But like you said... learning this stuff as you go along. I’m sure other people commenting on your videos have great tips on how to dig and stuff. Make use of the community that you built here guys 🙂
Stud Pack! Went from remodeling bathrooms to building a house from scratch. Sweet! What a far way you've come.
Ready for your next video. Cmon y’all we are dying here!
Papa stud pack going to be the advert star on the channel now 😂
I'm sitting here watching this - and thinking that I've seen Paul before...and then it hit me! Dead ringer for country music superstar Clay Walker!
Love the content...been watching since the beginning!!!!
loved the video, literally getting all the "Dirt"y work done at the start so you can throw the tools on and start framing... cannot wait for the next video.
Mighty substantial foundation considering no frost line to worry about.
It's super fun watching you learn to run the excavator. I've recently had to learn how to run one, and I can say you are picking it up fast! Your trenches look way better than mine did. Great job!
Love your videos
A slider time lapse set up would be great for this project
Your hard work is really paying off! Looking really good, boy that cement is going to cost a pretty penny? Looking forward to the next video!
It's not gonna slide off. Y'all are killing it. Fun to watch.
Love the bloopers
Tip on the excavator driving over trenches, if you extended the boom and bucket (bucket full of material as a counter weight is even better) far out opposite the trench so most of the weight is away from the leading tracks driving over the trench no issues of dipping into it.
Never mind you did it pulling out lol.
Always love the videos, although todays best part was the bloopers, gotta love those! Keep em comin!
Watching stud pack it's one of my favorite channels on TH-cam. As I watch I think about what I would do. When I was watching your breaking out the wall with the excavator I was thinking I would have started at the closest point and use the teeth on the excavator to push the dirt away from me and then Dug a way down from the far side and continued that until I got to the depth. Since I have no experience with an excavator I'm curious if others watching agree with that or not.
Nice reference tot he Saturn 5. had a friend who worked on the that rocket. They did that work with slide rules and there is a portion of one engine in the Smithsonian.
Wondering if those big rocks were brought in with the select fill? (Great job guys, really enjoying this.)
Good job guys! That fill will eventually help stabilize that front yard.
Ok I’m ready for the next one.
You know you made it when AG1 sponsors you
Guys, I know you're busy but I really need my weekly Stud Pack video...
Man that was a good video. Now I have to binge watch yalls other videos until another house project vid drops.
There is a valve under the floor board or under the hood that will switch how the hydraulics work. Every time I rent one of these it’s backwards from what I like. Takes a few seconds to change it.
I had great fun watching. Thank you for posting!
YES A NEW EPISODE!!! That AG1 looks pretty good I showed my bro he's gonna get us some thanks!
So glad you guys are taking sponsors to help fund your project :D
Another good video. All three of you are having fun while learning. I am looking forward to the next video.
Great video gang loving this series !! Quick question what are you guys doing about plumbing are you going to dig some channels for that before the concrete pour?
Stud Pack, u guy's are having too much fun using the mini excavator. great job..
*Hits the house with the excavator*
"That felt good" - Jordan
In the trench you can “punch” the ground to tamper or compact with the bucket. Also for the 16” wide with 12” wide bucket when doing the second pass have the arm and machine at a slight angle or diagonal and it will help catch the edge to try and make square or bite in
Just think, as much fun as you had doing the garage, you get to do it all over again when you do the house foundation! Oh my aching back!
Yes, wheelbarrowing is a word and when used in that from, it is a verb. Another cool video. Love your channel. See ya next time.
Dig the first beam across, then the stub connecting to the second grade bem, then the seond grade beam, then the secon cross piece, and so on. Digging toward the interior of an excavation will always tear out excess soil.
Coming from South Carolina that soil is so loose. The soil around here is hard clay you cant even dig with a shovel. If you want to dig a small hole in your yard you have to break out the pickaxe.
Congrats on the sponsorships Stud Pack.
Hey guys just saw you on Perkins Brothers Builder post today from the show in Vegas. Super awesome two of my favorites together!
Saw that too. They said they were having trouble with the build. Gots me kind of nervous lol
Jordans starting to get pretty good on that excavator
love the content, keep up the great work :) cant wait to see this progress move, any bloopers create some shorts :) great content
I see you are starting demoltion on the house a little early. :)
Love the video gentlemen!! Get yourself a gas powered hand held compactor for grade beams. Thanks guys. Always look forward to your videos.
@18:25 "Wheelbarrowing" is not only a real word, it is an active verb. That means that because it has handles, there is work attached. Beware of any tool with handles!
At least you'll be able to live in the garage while you do the rest of the house! Did you ever think of just reversing the layout - build the house where the garage is and then knock the house down and build a garage?
Look forward to these videos - great one as usual! Thanks for bringing us along!
