Great video, love the commentary on tips for doing it right! I have my first job digging footings for a house addition in a few weeks and want to do the best possible job. I was wondering if you're responsible for typically determining the precise depth or is this provided to you by the architect or someone else? The "blueprints" have the min depth below grade but obviously with an addition we want the top row of block to be level with the existing house. It seems like somewhat straight forward math but just not something the excavator would be responsible for.
@fulltiltgrading8366 Ай бұрын
Every job is a little different but yes, I always figure the math so that my top course of block or concrete is even with the existing foundation. If the grade slopes away, sometimes you have to step the footing so that you can stay below frost. How is remember when digging footings to dig in nice even long strokes from the top down. Try not to curl your bucket through the top of the ditch or you will blow out the top. Be extra careful connecting the corners or you will have a mess. Just take your time. Practice makes perfect. Good luck.

Why did you cut out the video of the lift? Did you drop it? I notice the lifting holes were bent, is there a better attachment than a shackle?
@fulltiltgrading8366 Ай бұрын
That was a long time ago, but we probably needed two guys to guide it into place so we had to put the camera down. The lifting holes look bent, but that is how they are actually made. So far, we have never dropped one, but I know a guy that did, and it was very expensive

Say if you were trading in an mini excavator on a larger one where none of the attachments would fit the new machine. Would you trade in all the attachments at the dealership Or would they rob me and not give me what the attachments are worth? Better to trade in or sell privately?

The full, Full Tilt crew plus one !! Worked on jobs similar to this, plenty to do and keep an eye on for sure !! I did set myself on fire on a job like this, back in the early 1990s..... I was cutting rebar out of the underside of the deck using a Stihl saw. I was using the saw upside down, unknown to me it was leaking petrol..... and yes, the sparks did ignite the petrol on my jacket.... there I was, a human torch 😮 Saw stopped, I stopped and looked down to see flames coming up to my face..... only thing to do was to throw myself into the water and cool off...... and it was the middle of winter just for good measure!! After an investigation, the hire company knew about the saw leaking petrol, and sent someone to exchange it.... only they exchanged the wrong one.... 🤦♂️ I did get a replacement jacket and padded shirt too 😁

Ed… That was an interestingly repurposed railroad bridge. Much better than the old foot bridge our county road crew poured a few years back. It had originally been built with old utility poles as both pillars and road bed support stringers. The walking path was made of railroad ties bolted across the pole stringers. They were rotten and it was feared that ATV’s would break through. To repair it, they removed the ties. Then, they nailed corrugated roofing across the stringer poles. A concrete floor was poured on top of that. What they didn’t plan on was the corrugate bowing under the weight of the concrete. Shortly after beginning to pour, the error in their calculations began to surface…. The more they poured, the more it sunk. Who knew that a 6” thick slab of wet cement couldn’t be supported by a four foot span of recycled barn roof? I mean, the county road commissioner had picked it up from his brother-in-law’s construction company…. Even though it cost a bit more (double) than the cost of new metal! Its use did help the county meet the recycling goals of their “Green Agenda”. In the end… they brought in another batch of the BIL’s recycled corrugate to double up the floor support. So, at double the price per piece they spent four times as much as originally planned. After construction, ATV’s, dirt bikes and horses were banned from using it because it rattled too much from vibrations. In the end, a plaque was installed that proudly listed the commissioners name, his brother-in-law’s company, the fact that it was built with recycled materials… and a completion date that is seven months earlier than its actual date. (The plaque had been ordered before the project began… and it was the only one they had available on dedication day!) I wonder if that bridge you were working on might have a few political skeletons in its closet? PS: Did the original county commission have any ties to a plywood supplier?
