Boss man… that is a complicated foundation. Does anyone build rectangular homes anymore? I like your corner jigs. It’s a simple solution to the problem of how to hold them in place. And… easier than writing a note to Dirt Buddy’s school to get him excused to miss… so he can hold them for you! It is my joy to watch a true professional at his craft… even if he’s crafting the filling of a hole.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks SV!

What better than spending Saturday night with the Dirt Boss?! Everything looking nicey, nice. Once the stone is in it’ll be looking preetay as usual. Can’t wait to see the pier’s being installed, then I’ll be ‘back on site’. Love your energy and content, well done DB!!

[@heatherlane9270]

Great job. Impressed with the care you take in performing the work.

[@alittlebitofeverything5090]

Would love for you to do the site work on my future house near Bangor Maine, just not sure you would travel that far out of the NY area. I've been watching your videos from almost the beginning. You know your stuff Mike.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

I would love to but I'm not sure if it is cost-effective to have me out there..

[@alittlebitofeverything5090]

@@DIRT-BOSS I agree it wouldn't be cost effective. Would have to be extra compensation. I know your work is right on point because you film it and not many other people document their work like you do. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

[@darrenblattner2508]

Thats lookin good. Shouldn't have any water issues there. Keep smilin

[@jaboy123]

I like the jig idea. I always throw a small screw in each fitting to keep them from popping apart. nothing more frustrating then when they pop out and the dirt makes it hard to get back together.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes that's a great idea good tip!

Sorry Boss i dont know if i missed a video but on this video youve attached the gutter pipes to the one at the base of the house that goes around the house. My question is , where does the gutter water go....somewhere away from the house,. Is there a drywell?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes all pipes are gravity-fed to daylight out the lower side of propon wood line

[@abeach33]

Love your videos! Question: wont the gutters back up (in a heavy rain) if they are all tied into the same 4" line? Or is that not a concern?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

No concern 4-in pipe takes massive amounts of water each pipe has its own volume.. on huge flash floods the gutter's overflow themselves before could even get down to the downspout

Did you tie in rebar after making your gravel entrance into the basement?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

They were bent over I just sent them straight back up

[@bluecollartrader1791]

Hey Mike. I've been enjoying the content for a long time now. Question: That foundation perimeter pipe is strictly for the gutters, correct? I'm just wondering if there's another perimeter drain that takes ground water that doesn't come from the gutters? I've seen double piping in some cases depending on the grade of the lot. Also, would sand be suitable for foundation backfill in a situation where sand was readily available?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes there's three different pipes in the ground here interior perforated pipe that leads the daylight exterior perfidgerated pipe that leads to daylight all wrapped in stone.. then filter fabric then solid gutter pipe that leads to daylight which you see in this video but the beginning of the video you could see a quick clip of our pipes interior exterior before stone goes in.. sand would be suitable

[@bluecollartrader1791]

@@DIRT-BOSS Thanks Mike. Nice work.

[@erikcourtney1834]

Why is the garage’s backfilled with gravel? Can dirt with good clay content not be used? Or just not dig it out as deep like the basement. I’m sure there’s a reason it’s done I just don’t know why.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

We never use clay for backfill.. either rock gravel or sand in this site location we only have stone as a resource.

[@erikcourtney1834]

@@DIRT-BOSS that makes sense. I knew there was a good reason for it.

[@tomthelandscaper]

Hi Mike, did you have a problem with the GoPro 11? Would you give us your thoughts on it?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes not with the GoPro itself but the editing software wasn't accepting it

[@tomthelandscaper]

Thank you for the reply Mike

[@adamroberts5876]

Is that just solid tile ? Not for ground water ?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes groundwater is inside outside below that pipe at the footer base those pipes are gutter pipes solid that you see back filling

[@njonebale7889]

D-Boss! Always install 3/4” on the outside…come on!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

The whole outside is filled with 3/4 12 in with pipe them gutter pipes are solid pipe" come on man"

[@jimsmith1946]

Never use that cheap corrugated pipe for downspouts,
