[@anthonyjcarolan3161]

You have done a good 👍 job on the Dig The Sewer lines I love ❤️ your video 📷 the come more and more good #DigSewerLineGoodJob

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! Appreciate the comment

[@iwandeegenaars1552]

Nice video

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Iwan Deegenaars thanks

[@burningdinosaurs]

Sheesh... 15 feet. "It's somewhere here-ish" lol! At least they were able to actually locate it for ya and you could get the job done. Thanks for the video!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

BurningDinosaurs yeah it’s crazy they have prints of all the locations but they are off by a few feet 🤔. Thanks again buddy!

[@lakesideranch]

Wow, the infamous "it's over there somewhere I think" job, Brandon. You handled it like a BOSS and have some half-decent dirt to rough grade with. I guess that's a win....lol Work safe, enjoy your weekend too. Doug@ the "ranch"

[@eliteearthworksllc]

lakesideranch lol yeah keeps it exciting! Thanks brother! Yes much better dirt on this site. Have a great weekend!

[@dalepremo3695]

Another success story, and as someone else said, at least it wasn't raining. Your spotters did a great job of keeping those shovels from falling over, too. I have to ask - did you have to eat the time and work digging the hole to nowhere in the beginning? Thanks for sharing Buddy!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Dale Premo lol yeah they are good at that. No I get paid by the hour on these no matter how long I’m there. So the more I dig the better 🤣. Thanks man!

[@silentepsilon888]

with all the digging for underground utilities, I am surprised I never saw you use the metal rod dowsing method to find any of them. Yes, I know, most people think dowsing is to find water wells or many think it is witch-craft, but it is not. Dowsing is science and real, making the metal rods respond to changes in the earth's density and thus gravity pull. I have done it for years and everyone I showed it to and let it try for themselves, electricians, plumbers, construction workers were able to do it successfully on the first attempt. You can use simply made metal rods to find burried sewers, water supply lines, gas lines, electrical cables etc. Dowsing will not tell you what it is that you are finding, but at least you know something is there. Here is a great video on this topic that is to the point and shows how easy it is to do. Give it a try while checking for lines you know are there (to see that it works) then search for lines that are not so obvious. I am sure once you tried this and got it to work, you will have metal dowsing rods in your truck from now on. have fun ... here is the link to the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4jCqXeOedl3o8U

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Silent Epsilon yeah I’ve done that a few times, my grandpa showed me that years ago. I should probably start using them again. They are usually dead on too

[@brianbaughan5683]

Well even though the location was off 15 feet and you had to clean up after the concrete guys, at least it wasn’t raining on you today, enjoyed the video

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Brian Baughan that is very true! It’s drier work I’ll take it. Thanks again buddy!

[@brianbaughan5683]

It rained here today all day never stopped, fortunately I was working inside, hanging drywall, not my favorite thing to do but I was dry 😁

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Brian Baughan the rain has been terrible. I’m with you on the drywall I haven’t done much of it and I would like to keep it that way lol!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Your so close to 10k subs!! I just hit 900 Im on the countdown!! Good job as always 👍

Dirt Boss Tri-County Masonry & Excavating getting there, thanks man! That’s awesome buddy! The first 1000 are the toughest! You put great content you’ll keep growing quickly 👍🏻

[@janetolch8129]

Request; is there a chance I could have a tour of one house please 😁

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Jane Tolch I could that. 👍🏻

[@janetolch8129]

@@eliteearthworksllc that would be great, always wondered what the inside looks like 😊

[@briangardiner1015]

I know in the end you were saying you were in a hurry, but have you looked into a sheepsfoot attachemnt? I know they cost money.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Brian Gardiner no but I would like to try one of those. I really need something for compaction on jobs that people actually care about 🤣 do I just google sheepsfoot attachment?

[@brianbaughan5683]

Goggle sheepsfoot compactor

[@briangardiner1015]

@@eliteearthworksllc there is a company that makes a bucket with a sheepsfoot compactor on it so you use the bucket to pull the dirt in the roll the dirt behind it. I think it is made by Felco.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Brian Gardiner gotcha I thought it was like what Rock Structures uses the compaction wheel

[@briangardiner1015]

@@eliteearthworksllc Yeah so does Dirt Ninja I don't know if the model they have will fit your machine (Felco) but I will look and let you know. Isn't your machine a 12,000 machine? Cat just came out with a 306

[@waltermattson5566]

It’s a good thing that wasn’t the city survey crew that told you where the riser was supposed to be.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

walter mattson it was the city prints that told us the first location but yeah no kidding 🤣

[@dirtediggin]

I've been getting a lot of the "It's here somewhere" from small utilities lately too. It's frustrating to say the least. Nice job Brandon

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Dirt E Diggin it really is you just feel like your digging away for no reason. Thanks man!

[@FishFind3000]

Why didnt you get the lines marked before digging?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

FishFind3000 I did they are the faint orange lines on the ground. I get locates on every job I may just not mention them

[@JasonWorksAlot]

Man I’m in the wrong line of work. 15’ off and it’s “meh oops” that’s like borderline weatherman territory for allowed to be wrong at work!🤷🏼‍♂️

[@eliteearthworksllc]

JasonWorksAlot no kidding maybe I should have been an engineer 🤔

[@lesterntomson4988]

Right? If you read the fine print in my area is states that it is located within 15' excavate with caution. Lol, shift liability shift liability smh you gentlemen have a good evening! Thanks for sharing.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Lesterntomson ! Lol I think that’s how ours is too. 🤷🏼‍♂️ you just never know lol

[@blackdogexcavator21]

Contractor: "it's over here somewhere", Mr. Elite: digs a hole, city: "move over 15 feet", Mr. Elite: "digs another hole and throws the dirt from second hole into first hole". Lol. To steal a phrase from the movie Cool Hand Luke "what we have here is failure to communicate ". Makes ya scratch ya head a little bit doesn't it? I hate it when people do me like that but it goes with the job I guess. Good job man.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Blackdog Tractor/Excavator lol yeah no kidding! Got to love it, I’ve kinda come to expect it now. They are like the riser is here I’m ok sure it is 🙄🤣. Thanks again buddy!

[@davidglaum2538]

That is probably the cheapest builder ever. I wonder if those homes will last 15 years before they fall apart. The crap that he wants you to cover up is a sin.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

David Glaum lol yeah I hating filming some it but I need content 😂. It will be interesting to see how they hold up in 5-10 years

[@sydneyshinshi]

i'm not sure exactly why but a hate those places.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Michael Magill lol the houses you mean?

[@sydneyshinshi]

@@eliteearthworksllc Yeah the houses and the house blocks. Just how they have built them and left the sites looking maybe.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Boitano Excavation 🤣 it’s always great. Way to go guys lol!

[@stuckboy22110]

I gotta say those concrete guys are sloppy. There’s always piles of concrete and form boards laying around. I strip everything and rake out the extra concrete. Seems like they have the “next guy will clean it up” mentality, which you benefit from sure.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Dave D yeah that’s exactly what they have 🤣. That would be nice if they did clean up like that. This whole group has that hurry up and leave it mentality

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Looks like you’ve been getting advice from those guys on Oak Island! A dude says that someone says that they heard someone talking to someone who knows that the Money Pit is right over here.... or here... or there! Well, at least you didn’t interrupt service to the seldom used landlines! I was at Best Buy the other day and came across their display of telephones... used to be a whole aisle... now it is two models and buried on the old technology aisle! If it wasn’t for internet, no one would ever know you cut one. It hurts to be old... everything you used to know is wrong!!!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

William Harris 🤣 that is so true. Our son didn’t even know what a rotary phone was he was fascinated by it 🤣 yes luckily I didn’t cut any lines 👍🏻

[@jeffzupko4859]

Sloppy concrete plus what was that mix?!?!?! It fell apart gettin' pulled by the bucket!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Jeff Zupko I have no idea I know that was just the spoils of it. I’m not sure what they did 🤣
