Matt that's why Volvo makes the doors so big. They know what happens to operators heads. Soon DP won't be able to get in and out of the 120. Lol God bless
Explanation of grades, slopes etc by MM is appreciated.
Nice work as always Mike. Love watching you work with Matt and the others.. the laughs and pranks and stuff really help the day go through easier for sure. Getting Jerry withdrawal symptoms though ...!!!
Just watched the other Mike....elcapitano...said the same to him ..your positivity brightens peoples days up ...
Peace n love from Cumbria UK 🇬🇧 ❤️
Smoothing out that sand was some fancy operating there DP. 👍
Thank you Matt for explaining the situation
You guys were killing it on the digging and installation on the septic system and the propane tank installation.even with y’all’s antics going on.really good video.keep on doing what your doing.kudos 👍👍👍😎😎😎
The Dynamic duo at full throttle! Batman and Robin and all we have to do is figure out who Batman is and who Robin is, so I'll start with Mike as Batman and his trusty side kick NYA Millennial Matt as Robin. I just hope no one calls the Police because these two Yahoos in the same place at the same time are a riot! Thanks for the video Mike and another job well done.
Good job!! Learn something every day with you guys. God bless and be safe.
These are the type of videos that inspire me to make my own TH-cam videos ! 🙏🏼
Nice work gentlemen, always a way where there’s a will. Thanks for the ride along.
For the 40 plus years I was in the excavating business the majority of what I did was install septic systems....so was cool to see the tank install. I think I had told you before that I had a JD 160LC of the same vintage as your 120 (2000 machine) and the reason for that size machine was that you could lift up to a 1250 gallon septic/dosing tank so that you could have the truck drop the tanks on site and have them waiting for you to set them instead of having to wait for the truck to show up (or the truck waiting for you to finish up the hole). Was nice to see you guys go thru the process....it's been a bit over 7 years since the last I did any septic work and do miss it from time to time, but I get over it quick...LOL
Great video. Love setting septic tanks!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Was questioning if the cold start would be ok with a Coke can in the holder, but thankfully the 120 didn’t take offense to an inferior product placement being left in it during its nap. Job is turning out really nice, looking forward to seeing the finished product. Crazy about the various soil conditions in such close proximity. Always entertaining to see the friendship between you and your crew. Wishing you and your family the best.
Another great job guys you two have such a good time at work if everyone got along as well as you two the world would be a lot better off. Wish you were in my area of the world so I could hire you to do my septic, pond, and general dirt and landscaping. Your probably the only contractor I wouldn’t be worried about watching to see if the work was performed correctly. God bless and keep up the honest work we need more like you two.
Thanks
I manufactured and installed precast concrete septic tanks in Yuma, Arizona. About 800+ per year. We almost never hit a rock; it was all sugar sand. Easy digging but had to dig pretty large holes in order to set tanks but it sure sloped well. We never had a soil compaction issue though. Good luck with all your rock digging.
Hi from uk mike and crewsgreat job here loved the needing 2halfs on of the freeze😂 I need to get delivery up but not get get stuck👌😂 fine line but nailed it thanks for this one hope your new bit land getting some great plans goin too too 👌 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
when ya got a man stuck in the hole he is at the mearsy of the operator poor matt. keck of a fun time working with ya. cheers guys.
the same electrical field effect is used on navy ships to help with hull corrosion when they are in mothballs also using sacrificial anodes of zinc
I used to love doing septic systems. Theres alot of ground water your having too deal with that always makes doing the job that much more Fun..LOL..Great job on it Guys. And Video...
Great video bro I sure love the banter. Safe travels to you both
U guys sure have fun. So good to hear.
thanks for the video DP
You guys make a great team!
Thank Mike and Matt, great work 👏👏👏👏👌👍🇬🇧🍺🍺
It's interesting to see the differences in the way things are done from place to place. Most of the time in my area of Maine if a lift station is needed, the septic tank is placed as close to the house that it is allowed to be, 10' minimum from the house in most areas. Then the lift station, dosing tank as you call it is right next to the tank. Most guys want to save on the wire for the pump and alarm and the 4' pipe that is required from the house to the tank. The pipe from the pump to the leach field is usually 1 1'2" black plastic.
i'm in southern ohio and have a mound, the tank is about 20' from the house the dose tank is about 200' out beside the mound. the pump burned out in 2 years, replaced it and it burned out quickly again, it was a one horse motor and i think there was a voltage drop that caused that because of the distance of the wire. with the next pump i went down to a half horse motor and its been working good for 3 years now.
Gota love those conditions when you're doing underground. Nice work!👍🏼
A little dirt in my coffee this morning...
Awesome video... good job... 😎👍
Mike I love to hear you laugh you are a hard working man and the guys that work with are all a big ball of laughter have a great day.
Thanks appreciate that
Great video. I have limited experience with those anode bags/devices. It attracts the oxidation before the good metal. On top of a water heater is a big nut. About an inch or so. If you unscrew that you will pull out the anode. It saves your water heater. On the back of a steel hull ship you’ll have anodes blocks to save the hull.
Hey, looks like a profi job! I'm surprised 😄😄😄 No, joke! Good man, best regards from Germany.
Don't you just love the way that bucket glides across that soil the perfect height in the perfect dirt
Yes sir another video !!! I would like to make a video with you one day this summer !!!
The bag that goes in with the propane tank is a cathodic protection. It works good when installed properly and is actually used. They use them under large above ground petroleum storage tanks. I’ve snagged the wires of a couple of them🤦♂️. And I’ve installed some.
Hey guys. Just a little constructive criticism. I've been installing septic's for well over 30 years and one thing you need to do is compact the backfill well before you install any piping. (At 49:10). If you don't, especially with the clay type soil you have, the pipe will settle where the overdig is and will create a problem down the road. I've seen 4" sch 40 sag 4+ inches in a 2ft overdig.
Other than that, great work!👍
Great video guy's. Love watching.
Thanks
Awesome video Mike! That 120 is seriously a trooper. I hope you never get rid of it. It’s worth it’s weight in gold. It’s definitely my favorite machine you own
Mike and Matt great video! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Thanks for watching!
I want to know who the impostor was that drove the 120 last . I saw an empty Coke can , not an empty Pepsi can . Something is not right in the world today . I know you said it was Matt in the video , but it is so much fun griping about it with my coffee .
Lol
I thought same thing when I seen the Coke can that not right always been Pepsi cans I drink Pepsi to be safe
Great job guys. Enjoyed the video
Glad you enjoyed it
A Cold Snow day and You must Work in the fresh Air. With the little Excavator. You have Luck the Eard is not Frozen and the Hole is good to make. The Put from the two Tank not Problem. And the Pipe to lay. All good Work. Greeting 👍🇦🇹
Good job interesting seeing the process in fitting a gas tank.
A lovely cold winter's day and planned work done - just ignore the melting surface slops underfoot. Fun to watch nya Millennial and yourself up to your usual shenanigans.
Sorry I have not commented I have not been feeling good again but I went back watched the videos that was some good equipment that’s why You got good equipment you take care of it good video the other one that was smart idea about taking the tailgate down to get them stairs in the truck good operate my friend good video the other one good job draining the pond good video the other one good job putting the tank in that look cold out there On the Job good video and the last thing I want to say I’m so sorry about your dad about the story on the CAT D6 that was bad you will get it fixed back up my friend I just want you to know I have not forgot about you be safe my friend and have a good day tomorrow
thank you
LOL I think that is funny. The pores of the soil have to open up to exorb (absorb) the water. I love your videos Mike. I never miss one and am always looking forward to the next one. Please keep up the great work. I am only teasing as everyone says words wrong. I just like to point it out sometimes. :)
Thought I was watch'n one of Chris's videos, with all that Muuud! 🙂👍.
Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
Thanks for watching
@@DirtPerfect You’re welcome . Hope you all are doing well
Super digging job with Ol Reliable Mike
Damn DP, wish we would have had a guy like you when I was back in High school putting in pools with my Grandpa. We had a guy that would leave the slope from the shallow to the deep end of about 6in to 7in high going form left to right almost every time. Of course My job was hand digging the rest out. If you don't know, I assume you do, When you set final grade on liner pools you set the walls first and then come back and get final grade. All the dirt has to be thrown out over the wall and far enough to clear the footer. We would end up moving about 3 yards of dirt by hand sometimes. I do not miss those days. Before you ask we were a small operation so we always hired the backhoe work so not an option to use it once the walls were up.
always enjoy your videos.
Turned out dam good, I see y'all like to play in the mud. Awesome work Mike
A lot of work for a septic system I did not know they bury propane tanks good work on both
*"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago and the next best time is now"* I consider this to be best motivational quote I've heard in a very long time. But motivational quotes are useless if you don't practice what you preach*
I have secured financial freedom by investing in bonds , equities , EFT's and crypto currency the most profiting of them all..
The economic hardship , recession , unemployment and the loss of job caused by covid pandemic is enough to push people into financial ventures .
I wanted to invest more in crypto, but the fluctuations in crypto value discouraged me into dumping.
Wow 😮I’m just shocked you mentioned and recommended Mr Dave Jevans , I thought people don’t know him..
I'm so happy to see Mr Dave Jevans mentioned here, he is recognized in the society, my husband recommended him to me after investing £4000 and he has really helped us in times of this bad pandemic crisis.
Great video Mike and Matt 🇺🇲 another job well done 🇺🇲 I really enjoyed watching and learning something new 🇺🇲
Thanks
I personally wouldn’t like to build a house lower than the septic drain bed being my luck I’d have nothing but constant problems with the pump and back ups lol thanks for sharing buddy
Mornin DP have a great day love the videos in the morning with coffee
Glad you like them!
It would definitely be difficult to do a perk test in cold weather with snow on the ground.
I remember working in those muddy messes looks good
It amazes me with all the work you've done there they didn't have you grade the build site so the house foundation would be higher than the surrounding yard area for better drainage. I see so many homes with a total lack of forethought on good sight grading before building
Not a option for other reasons
👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🙏🏻 Enjoyed! In East Texas we have "NO" mud, gotta love the sandy soil we have👍
Forget inches and do everything in tenths. Way way easier.
Mr dirt percent that's no way to store a john deere dozer tool box 😂😂 sorry had to point it out. Lookin good gotta love the winter mounths
blow air through to test which line goes to which house then mark the ends. no mess but sound/ feel to verify the correct line.
I agree with you Matt, clean the window, and his head keeps getting bigger. Lol. Great job.
About time you recanised the best and number 1 pop out there coke can in your cup / can holder in the machine lol 🤣 noticed it when you climbed into the machine
Ground actually looks good to install the leach fields
Nothing like messing about in ankle deep cold mud ! Least you got it all in ok 👍 will looks good when you return and run over the finished area with the Ruckus Rake :)
Must be nice to get out of the cozy confines of the Workshop and make some money on the job instead of spending it I should think Mike 😉👍🏼 (Mrs DP will approve of this post no doubt ).
Great video ✌️💯💚
Awesome video 👍
Nice upload DP 👍🏻
Nice job guys, all over the place there. Keep the mud, never fun🤪👍🇺🇸
Thats some work there now. Good job. Nice house there to.
Thanks 👍
No grave head stones here lol nice work
You two sound more like an old married couple. LOL. At least you have a good time while you are working. Makes the jobs go so much better. Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoying the show but please do a video on the final work on the plow and if possible include the job that you used it on so we can actually see it laying pipe.
The 120 always starts Mike. Never heard of a septic system like that, running uphill.
I'm pretty sure that I told you two geniuses to color code the water lines!!!
It looks like you both have to put up with a lot of calm manure
Mike well done.
The bag used for corrosion protection is called a magnesium anode bag. It is suppose to be installed a foot below the bottom of the tank below the sand layer. It needs ground moisture to do it's job. Suppose to soak it in water before you install it in the bottom of the hole.
Marine vessels have solid anodes welded to the hull or structure, there's electrical charges in the natural environment, batteries have anode and cathode plates so these anodes are sacrificial components but when eaten away the metal parts are next on the menu
As usual, another professionally dug couple of holes and trenches to lay pipe on a cold day with a light dusting of thar nasty frozen white stuff on the ground that belongs on a cone with raspberry syrup on top of it.
Certainly beats doing it in squishy mud tho.
Always a hoot listening to the comedic banter between you two.
SALUDOS D.P. ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS. G.B.Y.G.
Matt thanks for explaining all the grade level stuff at the end of the lecture I still don't have a clue about what you said but thanks for trying LOLOLO
Well bad weather equals shop is it truck time😁
We can tell Mike was not the last one in the 120 there’s a COKE in the holder!!!
Intruder alert!
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
Ah, coke can in the cab, there goes your Pepsi sponsorship 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Good two days graft from you all, enjoy the banter between you 🤣🤣🤣
Enjoyed
Gotta luv the Lets Dig18 sticker and the Coke! Lol
Snow and cold weather.
Welcome to my world.
We still have more than
one foot of snow left.
Cool video DP 👌😎✌️👍🇺🇲
Thanks 👍
No more "eye-sore" LP tanks, cool! Not good for the kids, we used to jump off of them like a jungle jim set! lol Take care
Good morning all,
43:08 from this angle it looks like a gravestone for a rather large individual....
Make sure you thread the lines through the ribcage for protection!
It looks like the start of mud season.
Who left the Coke in the Pepsi holder in the 120? Nice work!
Your sure racing the rain alot here lately mike
Sacrificial Anode....work by oxidizing more quickly than the metal it is protecting, being consumed completely before the other metal reacts with the electrolytes.
You guys did an amazing job, when it dries up some, it will look great😎😎😎👍👍👍☀️☀️☀️🍮🍮🍮🍮
Thanks 👍
good video
