*** Always check with your city before digging! ****
If you're planning to build a fence, you start with the posts.
To set the posts, you will first need to dig the holes with a post hole digger.
A pry bar of some sort is also helpful for breaking up the soil, and getting through rocks.

PSA remember to call 811 before you dig
Can someone explain the number for us kids not in the states? After a quick google search it seems to be a number to call to make sure we won't be digging into utilities' infrastructure.
Wow, thanks for the pin.
@@simaorodrigues6285 Sorry, of course I live in the States. Basically it's best to call 811 before digging. So a official can check out your land, to see if their are any gas lines, cable lines, electricity...etc.
Best to know where you can dig. Before digging, because there can be a major disaster.
811?
@@SashaRieb its like 911 but for pipes and stuff
Let's just all appreciate the fact hes digging a random hole in his yard to show us this
Dad, can you do a video on house maintenance items for a new home owner? Changing furnace filter, cycling water softener, cleaning dryer vent piping, winterizing house (sump pump, outdoor water faucets), cleaning gutters, etc
From Russia, with love. I don't know what do you think about Russians, but I want you to know - we love you so much. You are great guy and you do great videos. Thank you so much!!!
Your jokes are so wholesome and love your expression after you say each one 😂 thanks for everything you do ☺️
Thank you Fitnessa. 😃🙏
I like how the jokes pretty much always relate to the topic on hand.
blessings!
Desde México 😘

I love his grin after the joke. It always lift my mood. Protect him at all costs. Dad I love you. ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
I didn't get the joke :(
@@MenkoDany The joke is that when you imagine a dog digging, you're supposed to assume it's like a normal dog digging holes in the ground with its paws. Sti when he says he thinks he's going to have to take the shovel away, it is a moment of irony and humor, because dogs don't use tools, so it it unexpected.
I hope that helps!
Parental love and guidance was so lacking in my whole life that your videos make me cry. I already know how to use the post hole digger because I come from the country but your videos really touch me. The sad little girl inside of me is really really affected by what you're doing here. Honestly I've been avoiding your videos because it's such a huge reminder of how much I was not loved. I think I need therapy before these videos will make me smile
This youtube page is awesome i had a abusive father and never really learned much growing up and 3 things i needed help with i found on your page thank you :D
I never realized I didn’t know how to tie a tie until my husband’s wake. My daughter and I searched Pinterest for instructions but found them confusing. There was a flood of tears realizing how much my grandson, then 12, may never learn because his grandfather was gone. ( The undertaker was kind enough to show him how it is done.) I have since cried for myself, not knowing how to do housey things and not being to afford to pay anyone to solve simple problems. Some folks have come forward to help with a few things but It gets old and people are busy, especially these days. I so need to replace a tub faucet and have no idea how. And I’m afraid to damage something that will just make the situation worse if I try. I am so thankful to have found this channel. Widows without male relatives need this information as well as young men. Thank you for doing this.
A piece of advice: instead of pouring concrete around the post, it's worth considering crushed rock, that you compress and tap down.. This way, the cement does not act as a bowl, retaining water and rotting your post in a couple of years..
I have a post hole digger tattooed on my leg, with work boots. May be the only woman who does lol. It's a memorial tattoo for my husband, father of my 5 childrenm who died at 45 and was a commercial fence guy who loved his work. Instead of a hearse, he took his last ride on the back of his fence truck, just like he wanted.
Hi dad!
Please stay safe! 🖤
thank you for your videos and learned what my own father has never taught me apoyo I support you with all dad 🙂
I don't have a dad and you are like my Dad.
Hey, can you do a series where you do stuff like “dad, how do I Life” or something, and do videos like how to pump gas in your car, or tips on learning how to drive, or just stuff to do when youre trying to get out of the house..? My mom is a truck driver and is never home to teach me important stuff like that.. I’m 18 and don’t have a license🤦♀️.. so tips on learning how to drive would be amazing and how to pump your own gas would be great too🥺
Thanks internet dad I needed this one 💪🏻 very useful and I loved the dad joke
Random request : at some point can you show us the proper way to hang a large mirror /picture ? I’m really struggling and I don’t have a dad to ask...😭😭😭 and I have the stuff but I’m too afraid I’ll break it
I’m no dad so I may be wrong but the mans technique is on point 👌🏻👌🏻
Hey Dad, can you look into getting a little microphone for when you're far away from the camera? I'll still watch either way, just thought it might be a good investment for future videos!
wow, I literally am about to go build a fence right now. this was pretty helpful
Yes, it's helpful. Use some tarp for a soil, easier to remove it.
I have a suggestion for a new series for your channel, do a "dad to the rescue". Where you select a follower who has a simple need, like patch a hole in a wall, or clear an area to start a garden, and go to that follower and do the task with them. It could be an instructional video where you also get a chance to help someone do something they didn't know how and would have had to pay someone else to do it with them.
I'm a single mom. I just moved to a new area and I have so many projects I want to do. Its tough because there isn't anyone around to help me.
A friend gifted me a small shed a few weeks ago. I bought lumber and built a deck to build the shed on. Problem is I'd never done any thing like that before and didn't have the sense to level the ground and build the deck in the spot it would go permanently. Now its too heavy to move and its not level where it is. I can't even lift it a tiny bit. So its just been sitting there while I try to brainstorm a solution that doesn't involve dismantling it to move it. I just need someone to help me lift it up but there isn't anyone who can help me.
I know there so many people out there who probably have similar situations like me. If only there was someone around to lend a helping hand. I think "dad to the rescue" would be a great addition to your channel.
Hello, I do have a father but I wanted to subscribe because I feel ugly for those people who do not have a father or a bad relationship with him, you are a hero without a cape for doing this, congratulations
I wish you all the best :D
Same
Please don't feel ugly. The POSs that didn't stick around to raise what they made should feel ugly.
As one of the people who don't have a father/has a bad relationship with my father, no need to feel ugly! It's an educational channel that has info important for all genders to know. My mom taught me some of these things (such as digging a post hole, like this), but there's also stuff here she doesn't know. There's nothing wrong with wanting to learn new things or with wanting more warm and positive presences in your life!
I've never had a post hole digger before. Always just had a shovel and when I got a foot down or so I would take the metal post and put it down and press the same dirt in there as best I could. Never had anyone to teach me or help me, and I was only 16 then. I'm 28 now with carpel tunnel and arthritis. I never had money for those kinds of tools. And instead of anyone coming to actually help me, i just got shamed. Which makes me want to continue to do it my way. I've never used cement either.
i dont speak english, but i lost my dad years ago because e just go, and u.. i dont know why but u make me feel secure whit all u provides me :c and thnk u
greetings from chile :D
as a dad, dig your wellys, thats just smart
Omg thanks 🥰❤❤❤ my dad died 7 years ago and it has been very hard but watching your videos comforts me, thank you very much
This is so nice. Dad jokes is my favoirite.
Hi I'm from Uruguay, I don't understand what you are saying but thank you for making these types of videos💖💖💖💖🇺🇾
Thank you so much for always helping us! 😊 For the holidays, could we see how you put up decorations??
Yes, and we will be cutting down a Christmas tree together. 😃🙏
Looking forward to DHDI holiday edition. Perhaps a how to properly carve a Turkey? That’s intimidating for me. Thanks pops you’re the best!
@@DadhowdoI I'm so excited! I was too young to be much help, when my godfather still had the strength to decorate/to show me how to do it. He passed away a few years ago, and decorations always make us think of him (as he always decorated so beautifully). 💜
I'm lucky to have my dad alive, but you got all my respect.
Thank you, i dont heally need to dig holes on my back yard but I have learned a lot from your videos and you lift my mood up. Thank you so much. Blessings
I know you’ve probably seen thousands of comments like this at this point and i’m not sure if you’ll even see mine. But i’m 15 years olds and me and my mom moved to the us without my father when i was 6 because he was abusive. and i never saw him again.he died of lung cancer when i was 10, i’ve had a step dad for a few years but i’m not very close with him and it’s pretty hard to talk to him. and your videos have really helped me especially the shaving one. i’ve been shaving for about 2 years and i kept cutting myself till i started washing my face before hand and using hot water. and a lot of your other videos really help me. i just wanted to say thank you for everything you do. and this video was very helpful:)
ps your dad jokes make my day
I'm glad this wasn't easy and that you showed some things which could happen. Enjoyed it, as always. Please stay safe. We need you.
Wow Dad, thank you so much, once again even when you teach something I think I know I manage to learn a few tricks that would’ve saved me a lot of trouble in the past.
You are awesome !!!! I watched for 30 seconds and teared up!!!! Thank you for doing this!
Hi Dad! I watched your video during my daily walk. I've never heard of a pry bar, so I learned something. Thank you so much!! Cute Dad joke! I hope all is well. Tell Mom "hi", please.
Никогда раньше не видела подобных приспособлений у моей семьи. Хотя в хозяйстве всегда пригодиться) Спасибо за видео 🇷🇺
Thank u for all. You are like my second dad
Thank you so much for be' here, i Am Italian but i can understand you. I never see my dad before, my grandpa never want that i want to try to help him. With you I can. So... realy realy thank you.
P.S sorry for my bad English hehe
I don't understand a lot of English but I like your videos
This is the only dad jokes that good
You are the best, we send you greetings from Mexico🇲🇽🇲🇽🥰
Thanks for the encouragement from Mexico 🇲🇽 🙏
I just found your youtube from a picture posted on another app but I have not talked to my father in years and I haven't been taught how to do a lot of things that a parent is supposed to teach their kid so I really love your channel and I would like to thank you from everyone who hasn't yet for being such an amazing person
I just found your channel but thank you so much for what you are doing. To alot of people this is simple stuff but someone who never grew up with a father and an abusive mother this stuff means so much. I really hope this is helping younger people so they don't have to figure it then selves like i did. Thank you for what your doing sir
Hey just wanted to say thank you for the shaving tutorial, today i finnaly got myself to shave my moustache and it was easier than i tought. Thank you
I don’t think I’ll ever have to use this but I love watching your videos!
My dad never taught me these things, but this man is amazing
I am so glad I found this channel, I have learnt so much. My parents were amazing and did everything they could for me. But they are amazing academics so growing up I never got the chance to learn stuff like this. Thanks for all you do
Thanks for the encouragement Isaak, glad you are here. 🙏
hey Man thanks for the videos, My dad walked out on my family to become a woman, And there's stuff my older brother could teach me but then there's stuff he doesn't know, cause he wasn't taught either, your videos have really helped me thank you man
Thank you for this channel. Incredible concept. As one that's had to figure all this out on my own over the years it's pretty super to see somebody taking the effort to educate others as you do 🌟
Thank you very much sir, I know that maybe I won't read it but thank you for making this type of videos since I do have a dad but he's almost always drinking and then mom just scolds us so at least here I am distracted
I think it was good to see the rocks because it shows it can still me done. God bless Lisa
You. Are. The. Best.
yes
Facts..
Lastimosamente no entiendo inglés , pero aún así veo todo tus vídeos completo , me inspiras a hacer muchas cosas. Gracias por enseñarnos muchas cosas
When i was 5 my dad die in a car accidént and he will never show me how to maje ir but when i watch your videos i creo he still alive and show me all these
💜
You are a hero for al those kids who really need this. We need more people like you in this world.
Im from baja california mexico. You have no idea how much i apreciate this channel.
Best idea since sliced bread.
Hello im not very good in inglish because im from Argentina but you are one of the best pearsons in youtube, good luck and stay safe.
You're the dad I never had but always wanted.
I just found your channel and I wanna say thank you for doing this as someone who never got to see my dad and have a real father figure to teach me how to do certain things I’m glad I found this channel to get somewhat of an experience of it keep it up man
If you sharpen your post hold digger it will go through roots better
Great tool!
Always be aware of city and neighborhood ordinances, have proper permits, and know where your pipes are before digging!
I know how to use one of these. I've done it at work, and while helping out friends. Still learned a few things, and enjoyed watching. Thankyou!
8:10 "It's a nice feeling when you finally get it out of there"
For some reason this line made me think of the Mr. Rogers outro song.
Maybe you remember this one... I'll put the lyrics below so we can sing along:
_It's such a good feeling,_
_To know you're alive!_
_It's such a happy feeling,_
_You're growing inside!_
_And when you wake up, ready to say:_
_"I think I'll make a snappy new day!" _*_snap_*_ _*_snap_*
_It's such a good feeling,_
_A very good feeling,_
_The feeling you know,_
_That I'll be back_
_When the day is new,_
_And I'll have more ideas for you,_
_And you'll have things you'll want to talk about,_
_I will too._ 😊
_You always make each day such a special day! You know how: by just your being you._
_Only one person in the whole world like you: That's you yourself._
_I'll be back next time. Buh-bye!_
Great, now I'm walking around singing this. 😃😆
@@DadhowdoI You're welcome! 😇
Copy and paste this lyric under this comment to sing along even if you don't know what the song is.
This guy is literally like a dad to most of us
Just found your channel after seeing it on a "Weird Facts" page on Facebook, such a wholesome and informative guy. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain all of this stuff for those of us that need it most. Thank you and keep up the great work
Thanks dad! Our house that we are buying only has fencing 3/4 of the way so this was super helpful!
Esta persona tiene mis respetos, no entiendo como hay gente que le da dislike a una persona tan buena☹️😄
Thank u for this, i really wish a dad like u
I'd also recommend a shovel (preferably a narrow "sharp" shovel, and a normal, wider shovel), so if the dirt is really hard, you can break it up a bit, widen the hole without throwing the heavy post hole digger (they're quite unwieldy and heavier than you'd think, where as a shovel is much lighter/more convenient) around for a tiny amount of ground, as well as clearing out the loose dirt in the bottom of the hole, because i've never had a post hole digger pick up the loose broken up/dry dirt very well, not to mention if you have rocky soil like i do, a rock will inevitably catch in the jaws and let all the dirt out before you pull it out of the hole, wasting your time.
I came from the Facebook post i saw today about your channel
Keep up the good work sir❤️
Thank you for not editing out all the rock troubles. I dislike perfect videos on stuff like this because I will likely run into issues.
You really are a hero, mine at least, but you have many people who follow you, because you do not add subtitles in the languages, you have reached many more places and filled the hearts of many. you are the example of an excellent father for whom we lost him, you really have all my respect and admiration. thanks 🙏
No entiendo mucho pero eres el mejor sigue así, saludo desde españa
For a couple years how I have been helping my parents plant tomatoes. These tools are very simple but make life so much easier. Make sure to wear gloves. You make that mistake even for a couple holes and wow do you really feel it
Learnt about your channel from Facebook.
Much Respects for your good work👍🙏
I make fences with my Dad and I like making the holes
You.are.my.hero. seriously that rock is the story of my life.
I’m putting in posts for the stations of the cross for my eagle scout project this weekend, very helpful! We will be using an auger so we can get it done quickly but helpful nonetheless! Always wondered how to use these
Gracias por tus enseñanzas eres el padre que nunca tuve 😖
Honestamente
I have a dad but i like to watch it
I hope the TH-cam company will honor you with the award for the best humanitarian channel in history. I love your channel very much and continue
Not even here for the videos just yet. Most of the things you’re teaching your kids aren’t directly applicable to my life right now. I am just subscribed because I smile each time I see a new video pop up in my feed and I love knowing they are there for when I need them. Thank you for being amazing!
I'm subscribed and will stay subscribed and I rarely even watch the videos because it just makes me too sad for some reason
Thanks to you now I now how to do stuff my dad never show me he left me when I was 6 thanks
You are our father
We love you
Quien está aquí por el tik tok???? Saludos 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽😎

My mom was a single mom, and my self and my bothers learned a lot of this stuff just having to help take care of the house.
Thank you as always for these fantastic videos.
Alguien más viene de tik tok? Amé a este señor 😍😍😍
Thank You Dad I Really Appreciate It.
that grass looks so soft I wish our grass looked that nice... and had less fire ants
No se porque tus videos me hacen llorar, gracias por todo.
Sounds like a beautiful day ☺️
Señor ustd es un angel, se me merece todo lo bueno de este mundo 🥺
Remember to always call your local government to find utilities before your dig!
Thanks 👍
God bless you, you’re such a good man
It's always something right? Everytime! 😂
Haha, that is a dad phrase for sure, huh?
I’d lost my dad in 2011 (I was 13 years old) now I found you, and all can say is thank you, for real, thank you so much
Thanks dad I see you from Mexico
Sir, you are amazing! Thank you for your videos!
