That bucket, finessed to the millimetre and yet could crush Tim to a pulp! To have built that level of trust just shows how vital good teamwork can make the process look easy. It would be good to see the day through his perspective as part of your films. Thanks for another well produced upload.
You two have a groove going now. Not much talk, next step you both know and I love that Tim is getting a lot more meticulous with elevations and clean pipe ends. Well done Chris. 😊
X and I will be in the office and you will be able to make it to class tomorrow and let me get your message on the weekend o I put my phone in that way to work and I have to do it on the market for a new job and I can find it in
Great job Chris and Tim. Tim trust you and that is a good sign of the operator skill. I have worked in my youth with one operator I trusted not to kill me. If I was able I would work with you any day. Disability really sucks and I hope you or Tim never see it. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see the long reach on the mud removal job. Thanks for sharing Chris.
Well that couldn't have went in any better than it did !! "The Culvert" ! Hell , the Small pipe went in good as well !! lolol... Great as Always Chris !! Have a Great Evening....

If you cut about 2-3 feet off the spigot side of the first stick you lay on ADS pipe you can use it as a push pipe so you don’t have the chance of ruining the bell end. Just make sure to remove the gasket and the Tim will be able to pull it from the bell after you get the pipe home. Just a trick we use up here in WA. Keep up the great work guys!
No fish in there? Seems like a waste. I’d at least put bluegill and shiners in there and use it as a bait pond so anytime i go fishing i just need to get a net full of bait out of there and I’m good to go. Plant some lilies in there to protect the fish from birds and done. A perfect bait ditch.
I saw a video where a culvert always froze solid in the winter. Come spring thaw the water would back up and then flow over the road. To remedy this issue a 3” pvc or abs pipe was placed through the culvert with 90 degree elbows at each end and stand pipes coming up. The pipes were capped off creating a sealed chamber. All pieces were glued except for the inlet side stand pipe was only pushed down into the elbow. The caps weren’t glued. In the spring the caps were removed. The inlet side standpipe was pulled twisted out of the elbow. This allowed the water that was backing up to flow through to the other side. Lowering the water level and thawing out the ice in the culvert. Then water would eventually flow through the area around the 3” pipe and melt the frozen ice in the culvert.
He's always been like that. He totally trusts that Chris will never come into contact with him with the bucket. [EDIT] I've just thought about Digginok (Frank) who digs ditches on building sites with a back hoe. He makes the neatest ditches you ever saw (if the dirt is not against him) and sometimes does stuff so impressive that his stick man doffs his hard hat at him. Now that is proper kudos. Chris is still a better all round operator, but I have to say that Frank digs a tidier ditch.
Chris. Love the videos. You are funny and when someone is watching your videos they don't have to worry about having cussing and fowl laugh or drinking or drugs. Thank you for making really good vides. And how is Justin doing. Miss seeing you and him together making videos. Yal are like brother's. Again thank you
Fun videos to watch! Reminds me of my line of work. Wd-40 is expensive. Try to use Vegetable oil mixed with acetone for a replacements. Trans fluid with acetone is better for lubricating metal but...more expensive. Vegetable oil and less toxic.
C if I am able to make it to class tomorrow so I can get the deep work and I will be in touch soon with some friends and I will be there for the rest of the office tomorrow but thanks for lettin the deep and pleasant day and I will have to see if I can
Set your skill saw about 1/8" deep. Cut down the full length of the pipe 3 runs at 120 degrees. Set the pipe with one of the cuts top dead center. Coragations full up and never floats. Enjoy your channel. My 87 year old Dad likes it too.
I find myself concentrating as if I were the one in the seat as I watch you laying pipe. Not wanting to take too much out etc.. Then I remember that I am just watching a video!
Some nice teamwork there. Do you ever leave the customer with a drawing of the location and depth of pipes?...............some things can seem obvious now when everything is fresh and new but ten or twenty years down the road when somebody wants to lay a powerline?
At the 19:30 mark you yelled and went in behind him. TRUST. Most operaters i worked with no way in hell would have stood there inless it was not as close as it looked. Love the videos
Sea oats as I wrote a day or so ago. :) There are plants that grow on bare sand and with salt spray and salty air on them. Mother nature has a way to vegetate anywhere there is water.
I really need one of them to dig out our pond. It is a spring feed pond but its not that deep. I want to get more fish in it and make it good for a small boat.
At 5:58 you said something like "boy did you see that (insert word).......pump maybe? What were you referring to? It was something that caught your eye as he was driving the dump truck across the culvert pipe.
Chris, A video of how the joysticks work and the controls work on the excavator would be great for us Monday morning quarterbacks!!! Thanks brother!!! M ES
170turbo since Camron left/got fired. Chris made a video once and his only comment during the video was Camron is no longer with us. He’s never been mentioned since to my knowledge. Chris never elaborated. I assume he didn’t leave on good terms because Chris didn’t go into detail but I had a lot of respect for him by not bad mouthing him. Having a large following on TH-cam would have been the perfect opportunity to do so and he took the high road and never did. Tim came on board shortly after. Always wondered what happened to Camron though. Seems like that’s been a couple years ago now. Maybe more
@@rushd45 yes. It's an option on most new equipment. The rod Tim is using is instead implemented into the bucket and stick. From there it's all fed into a screen inside of the cab.
As you are explaining how to install the pipe in order to ensure the water drains properly all I hear is, "math, math, math, numbers, stuff I don't know, maybe I should have paid more attention in school." I'm glad someone knows how to do this.
Good job chris looks good u must be making a killing off this job. Love your videos one day my uncle was talking About this guy on TH-cam who did a lot of Construction stuff with excavators dump trucks bulldozers and ect. As we kept talking he said that this guy used valvo equipment and I said oh yeah sounds like let's dig 18 he said yeah that's the guy I said yeah I watch him every night and he said so do I me and my Uncle love your videos keep up the great work
I'm pretty sure that I have seen you using a machine mounted laser receiver. Is it just that you don't want to mess with it unless it is really needed or some other reason for not using it on a job like this?
reminds me when i put in my under ground hydro, excavator with a 42 inch bucket digging down 6 feet in red clay, not a rock in the 130 feet for a 3 cable aluminum 4/0 big wide hole little cable, was what i had handy
what about the big void under the pipe, no sand was put in the bottom, but i am thinking, being sand and dumped slow allows it to wash under, spinning around in a wash may pack it in, it wouldnt do it with anything buy sand if sand would do it.. but knowing how sand woeks in a current it should..
Gee I thought Tim would have had a complementary T shirt on as he was on camera a fair bit in this video bro. He would have made a great walking billboard for them.
Do you think a quick release attachment would be a great idea so that you can use different size and shape buckets for the excavator. Surely a thinner trench for the pipe would have saved time moving less dirt both occasions in and out plus being able to use trenching buckets and grading ones also
That bucket, finessed to the millimetre and yet could crush Tim to a pulp!

Awesome job, that went as smooth as imaginable. I like Tim's yellow-orange color-shifting T-shirt, a unique feature of Letsdig18 clothing I'm sure.
Having worked in construction for 55 years I have to say you are the smoothest operator that i have ever seen,, Thanks for an enjoyable show
The 2 of you work absolutely positive positively work well together, great job!
Great job Chris and Tim. Tim trust you and that is a good sign of the operator skill. I have worked in my youth with one operator I trusted not to kill me.

Still amazes me how precise you can be with equipment that big.
Nice work guys! Pretty slick placing that pipe in all the water 👍🏻
Love the videos
Chris at the rate you’re going with as many ponds as you dig most of your state will be underwater till your career is over. As always nice job. 👍🏻
Good job, you and Tim is great team work. I enjoyed watching your video.
Chris , you doing amazing best job ! I ever seen it ! 5 stars 👍🏻🦌🐺

They're going to be putting fish in it, the whole point of making it so deep and putting rubble in it was for fish habitat.
To much silt in it to be stocking with fish right now. Have to wait til at least mid spring to stock with fish.
tim has a master to learn from. thanks.
You and Tim work great together, interesting video!

I love your vids i just started watching a few days ago and i can't stop watching them.
Yall probably get tired of working with that much sand, but I wish I had some here in Kentucky right now! All we're digging is mud!
I live in Kentucky and mud is better than limestone lol. The mud down here is just hiding the rock 😂..
love how tim never looks at you when he has ahold of the pipe! Trusting the operator!
That's called, really having trust in your operator.
He's always been like that. He totally trusts that Chris will never come into contact with him with the bucket. [EDIT] I've just thought about Digginok (Frank) who digs ditches on building sites with a back hoe.

Trevor Dennis - good to hear! Can’t be the best at everything!! Haha. So long as you’re in the top 20!
That will help dry it up nice job guys 😎👍👍

Thank you for making really good vides. And how is Justin doing. Miss seeing you and him together making videos. Yal are like brother's. Again thank you
It's so nice to see Tim more involved with the videos, and sounding happy as well. So what is his new girlfriend like? 💑 👦🧡👧🏼 An excellent video BTW.
Fun videos to watch! Reminds me of my line of work. Wd-40 is expensive. Try to use Vegetable oil mixed with acetone for a replacements. Trans fluid with acetone is better for lubricating metal but...more expensive. Vegetable oil and less toxic.
When you are digging a trench like this you can really see how much dirt that bucket really moves.
C if I am able to make it to class tomorrow so I can get the deep work and I will be in touch soon with some friends and I will be there for the rest of the office tomorrow but thanks for lettin the deep and pleasant day and I will have to see if I can

No time like the present to baptize Timmy
Chris, I think you would have made a good surgeon. You are so precise.
Wow i forget how big the bucket is on the Volvo. But when he was standing in it i remember how big it is. 👍
Beautiful work, thumbs up !
Cool Video 😎
All the best from Scotland 🏴
You and Tim work well together.
Tim deserves a raise.
Some nice teamwork there. Do you ever leave the customer with a drawing of the location and depth of pipes?...............some things can seem obvious now when everything is fresh and new but ten or twenty years down the road when somebody wants to lay a powerline?
I put a metal t post to mark the angle. You can just straight line it to the pond or ditch from there
At the 19:30 mark you yelled and went in behind him. TRUST. Most operaters i worked with no way in hell would have stood there inless it was not as close as it looked. Love the videos
Now this was an interesting video,..nice to see other work being done, and done well!
Sea oats as I wrote a day or so ago. :) There are plants that grow on bare sand and with salt spray and salty air on them. Mother nature has a way to vegetate anywhere there is water.
@@Rickimusic Why did you reply to my comment about this topic?
@@regsparkes6507 Hmmm... I thought I was replying to the fellow who asked if top soil was gonna be placed on the berms.
@@Rickimusic Haha we'll mark that one down to a TH-cam glitch then!
That magnetic receiver you used at the mini storage job would be a good investment for y’all .for checking grade
Awesome video Chris thank you for sharing with us hope y’all are having a great weekend
I really need one of them to dig out our pond. It is a spring feed pond but its not that deep. I want to get more fish in it and make it good for a small boat.
I enjoy all videos you make
Your text too Tim the night before "Make sure you bring your swimming gear tomorrow "
At 5:58 you said something like "boy did you see that (insert word).......pump maybe? What were you referring to? It was something that caught your eye as he was driving the dump truck across the culvert pipe.
The road pushed down and came back up as he drove over that. That haa a term called pumping. Pretty much not a solid surface
@@letsdig18 Thanks for explaining, I was actually thinking that's what you were referring to but never heard that term before :)
Roll roll roll your pipe gently down the stream. Lol God bless
I enjoy your videos so much great stuff
Chris,
A video of how the joysticks work and the controls work on the excavator would be great for us Monday morning quarterbacks!!!
Thanks brother!!!

Another brilliant job Chris! Well done! :-)
How long has Tim been working for you? He seems a great employee
170turbo since Camron left/got fired. Chris made a video once and his only comment during the video was Camron is no longer with us. He’s never been mentioned since to my knowledge. Chris never elaborated. I assume he didn’t leave on good terms because Chris didn’t go into detail but I had a lot of respect for him by not bad mouthing him.

Tim came on board shortly after. Always wondered what happened to Camron though. Seems like that’s been a couple years ago now. Maybe more
Are there buckets with sensors built into them so that you can grade automatically to a level or depth?
Yes you can get excavators with gps on them
@@scrapbmxrider16 Would that have maintained the grade?
@@rushd45 yes. It's an option on most new equipment.
The rod Tim is using is instead implemented into the bucket and stick.
From there it's all fed into a screen inside of the cab.
Tim to the rescue!!!!
That stuff you're digging looks like sawdust!
That’s a funny looking frog
Lol, Tim's like me... gives a labors explanation on up or down instead of directly saying down 2 tenths.
Love when a plan goes together
We use to take some rope and twelve CMUs and tie them in pairs and lay them over the pipe for ballast. Give it a try next time.
I think Tim’s ready to run that excavator. Then all you have to do is run camera 👍
As you are explaining how to install the pipe in order to ensure the water drains properly all I hear is, "math, math, math, numbers, stuff I don't know, maybe I should have paid more attention in school." I'm glad someone knows how to do this.
Everytime you say I think, I get worried.
Good job chris looks good u must be making a killing off this job. Love your videos one day my uncle was talking About this guy on TH-cam who did a lot of Construction stuff with excavators dump trucks bulldozers and ect. As we kept talking he said that this guy used valvo equipment and I said oh yeah sounds like let's dig 18 he said yeah that's the guy I said yeah I watch him every night and he said so do I me and my Uncle love your videos keep up the great work
With your helper (Tim ?) standing next to the bucket, you can really tell just how BIG that bucket is !! ..Just sayin..
I'm pretty sure that I have seen you using a machine mounted laser receiver. Is it just that you don't want to mess with it unless it is really needed or some other reason for not using it on a job like this?
As I said before. You and Tim work as a radar couple in ice hockey.
One knows what the other does all the time. It seems so anyway.
what skill you guys show here
That's class c soil for your helpers safety you should have sloped it back for him
He cut the top edges two feet then dug . It's under 4 feet possable cave in .
I prefer to trench down grade when possible. Also your stick man can use a shovel. I love job sites with sand like that.
reminds me when i put in my under ground hydro, excavator with a 42 inch bucket digging down 6 feet in red clay, not a rock in the 130 feet for a 3 cable aluminum 4/0 big wide hole little cable, was what i had handy
trivia : his dayglo shirt flashes between orange and yello/gree as you change viewpoint between open front window and tinted side window.
Is your laser a rotating self level, or can you set the desired slope?
Neon colors are crucial for the person on the ground - so the operator can easily see them.
Do you use a top con laser? Can you set it to slope?
Here in UK we use a pipe laser, set at first pipe with fall punched in to it and away you go.
Fine job Chris
what about the big void under the pipe, no sand was put in the bottom, but i am thinking, being sand and dumped slow allows it to wash under, spinning around in a wash may pack it in, it wouldnt do it with anything buy sand if sand would do it.. but knowing how sand woeks in a current it should..
Would like to see the final bill on that job bet it would be scary to someone like me.
Chris, what would be a typical gradient for a pipe such as that?
Can you install the software on your current machine to give you the on board transit or is it worth the $ ?
Gee I thought Tim would have had a complementary T shirt on as he was on camera a fair bit in this video bro. He would have made a great walking billboard for them.
Excellent job
Good job 👍👍👍👍 !!!!!
Well that's gonna be a problem one day. Let's blame someone else. That alway works
Always important when laying pipe to go in straight
It must be great digging with no rocks or ledge in the way
Really sandy ground and and nearby a Forrest it’s usually like a bog
wher is this taken with all that sandy ground good work
Wow! very good
Now all you have to do is dig up a dinosaur bone and have the whole project come to a screeching halt.
I know ur past this date but I really enjoy these shows
Chúc bạn có một ngày làm việc vui vẻ nhé
Great videos.
Do you think a quick release attachment would be a great idea so that you can use different size and shape buckets for the excavator. Surely a thinner trench for the pipe would have saved time moving less dirt both occasions in and out plus being able to use trenching buckets and grading ones also
Damn, you're good!
What kind of pipe layer is he, can he set pipe or what
Well done boys!

Nice job Chris... Maybe im outta the loop here but wheres the Hitachi at havent seen her in action in awhile...?
was a pleasure watching you get that ditch to grade
How will you keep silt out of the new drain?
