Springs!! It’s always a good idea to write in contingencies into quotes / contracts to cover unforeseen issues that arise during excavation or installation. All the contracts I do anymore have a rock and water clause to cover exactly what your dealing with now. Communication with the property owner is key with a signed change order to cover the cost 💲! Remember We’re in business too make money and we can’t predict what we will find on site. Got to cover your butt so we’re not losing money and out of business.
Thanks Todd for talking us thru how to get across the crater left by that grandfather stump. Glad you didn’t get the 309 hard stuck. I’m still impressed how much strength the boom has to pull you along provided you have strong enough dirt to grab onto. Hope you bid that job right - to include the surprise that you got when you ran into those springs.
Good advice as always. Rock and spring clause in the contract is a good idea. I’m in the process of starting my own small excavation business, and it’s good seeing how you work through these situations. All with a positive attitude also. Nice work!
"Finish the job" - best advice you can give to people getting into this work. I started a small earthmoving business a few years ago and that's my attitude too. Always finish the job. You may not make any money from it in the end, but your reputation is what gets you the next job that makes up for that error. But if you burn the customer then you may not get that next job. Word of mouth is a powerful thing - negative and positive!
This video was AMAZING! To watch and see how you work around the varies of issues that have come up is great to see. I just didn't realize the amount of complex situations that come up during these type of projects. Can't wait to see what is the next steps to complete. Thanks for sharing and I appreciate the information. Again, this is something I just enjoy watching as a way to relax!
SPRING'S, now Todd that's 1 muddy mess and I love it, I was told by a wise ole man ( grandpa) if it's not a challenge it's not fun and yah won't lean nothing
This series has been great! Love the start to finish and troubleshooting. I ran into this exact problem last year as an amateur and seeing how you handle it is great!
Many times i've had to big rock fabric and rock again and fabric again in the swamps, in the south we call them 24's little bigger than your hand ;;;;;;
Suggestion: see if you can return the new audio gear you bought, then you could search for some audio gear that works better for you. The audio deficiency is subtle but it is noticeable.
Been watching you for quite some time now I love how you give details of what you're doing and why you're doing it. That turned out to be one super soggy mess. Awesome job!
No thanks your ok keeping the smell your end and the mosquitos as well. 🤗 I think it's incredible just how these springs crop up, no wonder the root ball on that tree was massive it's been been getting a steady supply of freshly filtered water. Looking forward to see what your going to be doing next with this project, is you thinking to put in French drain and tile pipe?
Hey Todd, would you be able to do a video on how you handle buried utilities? Or even just sharing your knowledge that allows you to confidently dig without worrying about hitting anything.
@@Simonsimon-fy3hq you are correct! I've used 811 whenever I've needed to dig, I do however see a lot of these channels (not necessarily this one) where it seems like they ask the customer where stuff is buried and go from there. Just curious about others and their process. Cheers!
That makes s sense. We tried a system like this in the UK but no one ever updated the information so it was useless. Of course our utilities will sell you the information you need!@@TreachourusJdogg
I’m new to your channel and really enjoy watching your videos, but man it would be a lot easier if you numbered them through a project. I feel like I’m missing different parts when I go back and try and watch all your videos. Just a thought, keep up the good work.
Hang on…. So did you put organic fill on the creek side of the road (and there is a public road culvert pipe at the end of said creek?)? Also the road base grade you pushed in from my angle looked heavily mixed with organic material aka topsoil.
Hey Todd so when you run into something like this, how do you go back to the customer? I’m guessing you do t eat the cost of drainage tile and rip rap do you? Or do your customers just pay you by the hour and any material? Thanks for the content!!

Yes sir. This customer was great to work with and she was very understanding

Need to set up a bottled spring water business at the bottom of that hill.

the springs sure are springing but we know Todd has got it under control ..thumbs up !!
Really interesting how you’re problem solving as situations arise, you have the gift of thinking on your feet.
SPRINGS!!!! What a job, and you work solo. That has to be fun but tough at the same time.
Awesome Todd , Good advice .
This is must see TV, already looking forward to the next episode!!!!

That`s the key, finish the job, that`s how you get repeat customers, they remember and they tell friends, and you build your business, good advice.
SPRINGS!!Love these uploads thanks Todd.Looking forward to the next one 👍🏻
Good job Todd... It will be so nice when you are done. That lady sure will enjoy that new entrance. Have a great day and be careful.
Hey Todd, who doesn't love some "Springs" in a sofa but not so much in a road bed? God bless. 😊👍
SPRING'S, now Todd that's 1 muddy mess and I love it, I was told by a wise ole man ( grandpa) if it's not a challenge it's not fun and yah won't lean nothing
Thanks for the video Todd great job on the road getting it done. Take care of yourself and family and be Blessed ❤️❤️👍.
Todd, I know you love clay,,,LOL, why don't you stabilize it with Lime? It really helps to bind it and make a very stabile platform..
This series has been great! Love the start to finish and troubleshooting. I ran into this exact problem last year as an amateur and seeing how you handle it is great!
Many times i've had to big rock fabric and rock again and fabric again in the swamps, in the south we call them 24's little bigger than your hand ;;;;;;
I see you graduated past the tractor building roads. Great work!!
Springs. Job well done. Keep up the great work
Spring!!
Cool projects. as a flatlander we don’t have to deal with to much of this. Thanks for sharing springs
Suggestion: see if you can return the new audio gear you bought, then you could search for some audio gear that works better for you. The audio deficiency is subtle but it is noticeable.
Those springs are pretty wild. Looking forward to seeing how well you dry it out. Looks like your plan should work well.
SPRING'S can be difficult to deal with at times but you got this under control. Awesome job so far.
WOW! You are a hard working man!!! I love your videos...
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Been watching you for quite some time now I love how you give details of what you're doing and why you're doing it. That turned out to be one super soggy mess. Awesome job!
Great content brother.
Much appreciated Richard
Springs! Lots of these challenges on my property. Never know how things are going too go.... Then it rains for three weeks! LOL
This still remains a favorite of mine to watch!
It was a fun one
No thanks your ok keeping the smell your end and the mosquitos as well. 🤗 I think it's incredible just how these springs crop up, no wonder the root ball on that tree was massive it's been been getting a steady supply of freshly filtered water.

Great vid Todd! Thoughts on throwing a short 4" piece of perforated drain pipe in where those springs are?
Never mind. Should have finished the vid before I commented lol
Spring!!!
Springs!
nice video Todd. good luck drying up the mud.
Hey Todd, would you be able to do a video on how you handle buried utilities? Or even just sharing your knowledge that allows you to confidently dig without worrying about hitting anything.
I'm a Brit, so this may be old news, but don't you guys have a "Call 811" system that will identify utilities in the area you a planning to work in?
@@Simonsimon-fy3hq you are correct! I've used 811 whenever I've needed to dig, I do however see a lot of these channels (not necessarily this one) where it seems like they ask the customer where stuff is buried and go from there. Just curious about others and their process. Cheers!

Springs!!
You do great work.
Ole springs are springing up!
Awsome work
Thanks Jeff
Springs!!! Wow!
Springs. Curious do you put in a rock or spring clause in your bids. We do in Henderson county NC.
I’m new to your channel and really enjoy watching your videos, but man it would be a lot easier if you numbered them through a project. I feel like I’m missing different parts when I go back and try and watch all your videos. Just a thought, keep up the good work.
Great
Springs can’t wait to see if a piece of pipe does the trick.
That clay when it dries out it will be hard.
Sprinnnngg!!!!
springs!
👍🏻🇺🇸
Big mess, but I bet the customer will be pretty happy when it's all said and done.
Springs 👍
Get Her DONE !!!
How do you like the DJI mic kit? I've been thinking about getting one and I just haven't decided between DJI and Rode
I have SPRINGS all over my property. Tough to get them under control 😪 😕
SPRINGS!!! 👍👍
Hang on…. So did you put organic fill on the creek side of the road (and there is a public road culvert pipe at the end of said creek?)? Also the road base grade you pushed in from my angle looked heavily mixed with organic material aka topsoil.
It's the unknown things that 'Springs!!!' upon you that make for an interesting video
Springs
Already know what that stagnant swamp water smells like man and it STANKS lol
Rewatch.... Once again, you will build a road anywhere!
Thanks Aaron
How many inches of dirt do you require at a time topack down?

Hey Todd so when you run into something like this, how do you go back to the customer? I’m guessing you do t eat the cost of drainage tile and rip rap do you? Or do your customers just pay you by the hour and any material? Thanks for the content!!
Time and materials is very fair on a change order
There is always a clause in a good contractor’s quotes for unforeseen extra work or materials in a quote/estimate of an excavator’s work
Well as from today call us the water guy's
Still just doing a day rate ?
I'm not there but to me some of your fill material looks a little sketchy
What are you going to do with bankkkk!!!!
You know it's real wet. When there's 2 u"s in muud
I think my IQ went down watching this guy.
