- Digging a frost footing on a new construction basement home. Its a touch rocky and I ran into a piece of limestone they just had to pour over. I also revisit my swamp job from a few weeks ago. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #TakeuchiTB260 #footings
We need to import some western ok dirt to your state! Nice work Brandon
Drop some off in Kansas on your way lol. I think he has been studying your play book...which just makes us all better ! Thanks Frank!
Digginok yes you do! Like every footing you ever dig just send it my way lol! Thanks again Frank!
Lol death by a thousand buckets!! Good work as always
Tyler Pittmon that is no joke 🤣. Thanks man!
Another fine job Stanley! lol
Man With A Plan 🤣 thanks
The hooch got a workout on that job. Nice work Brandon!! 👍👍
Silver Grizzly lol yes it did! Thanks again buddy!
Another day another dollar....and another great video!
arkansas13 that’s right! Thank you!
You just keep getting better! I truly appreciate the pride and quality you put into your work.
Lesterntomson ! Thank you! I appreciate the kind words!
You have done a good 👍 job on the Digging the Frost Footing I love ❤️ this video 📷 is so amazing just can't wait for the next ➡️ time #FrostFooting
Anthony j Carolan this k you! Appreciate you watching!
🔥Smooooth operator!!!
DigginLife 21 thanks man I appreciate that!
DigginLife 21 he sure is! 😍😁
Good stuff man, keep up the great work.
S.O.T. Metalworks thank you sir!
Here in Pa they make us dig all our frost footings before we pour anything because they want a monolithic pour. Much easier to do it your way for truck access and stoning in. Nice job!
Full Tilt Grading I’m surprised they don’t here but yes I agree it does make it easier. Thanks again
Nice working
Iwan Deegenaars thanks buddy
CRUNCH! There could have been more stone down in there, but not sure how. Nice job and thanks for the quick followup on that other job.
Dale Premo lol yes there could have been one or two more I think. Thanks again I was driving right by so thought I would stop to see how it came out
Over here all the rebar that's sticking out like that needs a little plastic cap on it so that people don't get impaled on it if they trip or slip.
Construction Channel Luxembourg yeah they do here too if it’s on a busy site. The concrete crew and me are the only ones here right now
Hay I finally have time to watch your video that's a awfully small bucket 😂 lol 😂
Josh Welner hey buddy! Yes yes it is 😔. The concrete guy loves it 🙄
The black pipe was killin me!
Fire Captain Tom 🤣🤣 me too!
hey happy Sunday. :) enjoying my cup of coffee and browsing the equipment you tubers. 😎
VIQAN happy Sunday too you!
Nice video
Iwan Deegenaars thank you! 👍🏻
All that's missing is the Frost and the Russian !!! Lol. Seriously though..... Great job as always Brandon !!! Have a great week
Tom Del Casale lol that’s right! Thanks hope you had a great weekend too!
Only if there was a way to not have to get out of the machine to check grade. (Sarcasm) Nice job Brandon. Keep up the good videos.
Brian Gardiner yea no kidding 🤣. Now I don’t want to scratch the excavator with the magnet 🙄. Thanks again man! 👍🏻
Brian Gardiner and I’m not going back outside until the temperatures drop at least 10 degrees 😁
Mrs. Elite Earthworks 🤣
@@mrs.eliteearthworks So you are kinda going on strike? Sounds like you are renegotiating your contract.
Brian Gardiner considering I work for FREE, I’d say I have room to negotiate upwards
Didn't you do some work on this site a few weeks back?
Nice to see you have some ROOM to work!
Cool system for the "frost wall foundation"
Hope your weekend is going well!
Doug@ the "ranch"
lakesideranch yes that was where my draining a swamp video came from. Yes plenty of room! Thanks again Doug
Well that was just painful! That soil (dirty rock, in reality) looks like a real pain! But the ol coochie did well! Thanks for the video!
Lol it was! Definitely wears on you. Congrats on hit 500 then on to 600! Good work sir!
Very thankful I don't have to deal with the rock you do here in central Indiana. Seems it would be alot harder on pins and bushings.
Ryan Hankins oh yes it is. It’s hard on everything lol! I have a shelf of teeth at the shop too
@@eliteearthworksllc I amagine you would
I stopped by the KFC to see the rip-rap job the other day. Sure am glad I’m not the one who has to maintain it. Looks like a mowing nightmare.... oh wait.... no grass.... surely the plan to plant some?
If not, then it will be all weed whacking, all the time!
Finally, you got to a job before Jason put up his satellite office!
William Harris lol yeah it looks like they threw out a handful of seed 🤦🏼♂️ definitely be a rough mow. Lol yes I did bet him this time
This excavator has a nice long reach.
walter mattson yes it does, I think the stick is a bit longer than the other machine
Where's your duct tape and bailing wire man?😂nice work!
Brian Webber dammit! I think I did have duct tape in the truck 🤣 it was like 5:45 in the morning I wasn’t thinking yet. Thanks!
Ok c’mon....how many times did you say “F” this frost footing while digging through that rock? You have a lot of patience...I woulda ripped that black flex pipe outta the ground cuz it kept getting in the way. 🤬😂😂. Nice video though.
D C lol I lost count after 20 mins! I almost did that thing was pissing me off! Like Brian said next time duct tape it 🤣. Thanks again buddy
Looks like you might need me to check grade for you again...
Mrs. Elite Earthworks yes I do! 😁😘
You need to have mrs Elite check grade for you so you can stay in the air conditioning
Bryon 6180 no kidding that’s a great idea 🤣
Bryon 6180 maybe when it cools off a little outside 😂
Mrs. Elite Earthworks exactly.....
Then it will be to cold 🥶
Bryon 6180 Miss Elite can wear her long sleeve Letsdig18 shirt.....oh, I mean long sleeve Elite Earthworks shirt. 🤦♂️😂
Hey bud love the videos as usual of course.
I’m tryin to get rolling here on the west coast for excavation service. What kind of licensing did you go for, for your business
Tavit Kassardjian I just got a sub contractor license in my city. I primarily work for other contractors so there was no point in me getting a general contractors license. It’s good for a year and just have to go back to the city to renew every year
Elite Earthworks LLC oh okay cool. Thanks for the information man!
Hi new areas. Good morning. Great planning, good job my friend.
#maheswarashoes
New Dimensi Official thank you!
Do you have any dirt in that state that does not have rock in it ?
Scott M 🤣 maybe way up north but I haven’t seen any yet
So cris over at letsdig wants to know how many cheese burgers you charged for this job😂
Tim Cavazos 🤣 I believe it was a 300 cheeseburger job!
@@eliteearthworksllc lol thanks for being a good sport much💙 to you and the family 👍
Tim Cavazos you bet man! That was pretty funny 👍🏻🤣
What size footings do the codes require where you are? Here I dig a 16" footer for an 8" wall and a 20" footer for a 12" wall. The thickness is usually 8" unless there will be 3 floors of heated space above it (2 stories with a bonus room) gets a 10" thick footer. The top of our footers only have to be 4" below grade.
Blackdog Tractor/Excavator ours are suppose to be 16” wide and 30” deep on the residential stuff. I know commercial is wider and deeper but I’m not sure how much. The concrete guy has me use a 12” bucket because with our rock the trench will come out to 16”-20” wide
@@eliteearthworksllc it just amazes me how rocky the soil is where you live. I'm glad ours isn't like that, it would drive me nuts.
Blackdog Tractor/Excavator yeah for the longest time I thought it was like that for everyone 🤣 I’m so use to it here I’m always amazed watching Digginok or Letsdig. I’m like where’s the rock lol
@@eliteearthworksllc yeah the vast majority of the soil around here is more red clay than anything. Occasionally I hit a vein of rock but not very often. My biggest obstacle is usually a tree stump that the loader guy sheered off and covered up when he cleaned the lot. It makes a wide or deep spot in my ditch and ticks me off. Lol
Blackdog Tractor/Excavator oh that would be aggravating!
You have frost in Texas 🤔
Ummm Missouri
Umm Missouri.
Sorry have no idea why I thought it was Texas 😱
Jane Tolch I’m in Missouri we don’t usually get bad frost but does happen from time to time
@@eliteearthworksllc I suppose it's better to be safe than sorry, god knows why I thought Texas 😁 but Missouri looks really nice, just keep the great videos coming, love your channel.
👍👍🐕🇨🇦
Dermot Byrne thanks man! 👍🏻
Hey, so on a job like this were you contracted out by the foundation sub or the builder, and was it strategic project management or probably just poor pm as to why all of the footing wasnt just dug at the same time? Thanks.
Yes I was hired by the concrete company. The basement footings are formed and they wait on the frost footings so they are able to back trucks in there and get the rock spread. The frost footings are the only ones that are dug.
@@eliteearthworksllc Thanks that makes sense.
