Yes, indeed. Reminded me of Mr. BoJangles in the "The Flim Flam Man" with George C. Scott when he was kickin' those heels so high!

Yeah, he was hugging that rake - pretending it was you! Quite the performance and at first I glanced and said what the h is he doing, now! But hey, he was happy since that was a LOT of dirt to move (and alone too) but he got her done! This is what all those pieces of equipment mean. QUESTION Mrs. B, can he move out on the dance floor like on that dirt floor? Take care! Sonny (CT)

[@doolenfamilyconstruction3638]

I just want to say thank you so much for your videos. I retired out of the Navy a couple of years ago and bought our first tri axle dump truck and have been running it. But was alway afraid to get into the dirt work. So this is our 4 th season and this year we are starting. You videos are truly inspiring and very knowledgeable about what you do. Thank young for that. By watching your videos it’s helped my wife and I make this decision. I’ve been around the equipment in the navy seebees for my career just was not sure what to do when I got out of the service. Keep up the great work sir.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Awesome thank you and thank you for your service!

[@normhowes2975]

Amazing that in your area you seem to have lots of almost play sand to dig in while others on here seem to have clay every where. Here at my house the baseball/softball sized stones count almost as many as the grains of course sand in between them.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yeah it's crazy how the soil content changes from town to town in our region.. I do like that though because it changes it up and makes different resources

Can you tell me how you bid these jobs and what all goes into it? I just got some subcontractor opportunities with backfilling and grading and I only have a skid steer. Can you give me some advice on how to price these jobs and to efficiently do them well with my piece of equipment?

I`m putting in my two weeks to come work for ya!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Let's go where you live? Haha

[@charlesbourgeois9029]

Omg to think I always put a bucket lightly on each connection point on our drainage so it doesn't get pulled apart back filling. Why don't I run it on the opposite side of the berm outside the trench. Idk I never thought of it.

great work Mike could you email me some pictures of the big diggers thanks Stephen

[@DIRT-BOSS]

thanks buddy

[@omgitzzyou1]

I always wonder how the guys that spray the tat anticipate what the ultimate grade is going to be. Also, is it not necessary to compact the backfill around the foundation?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

I usually tell the tar guy where to put it I leave a mark on the wall.. No you never compact against the wall just let it naturally settle It won't settle much being sand.. You don't really want to put too much pressure on it if not necessary

[@omgitzzyou1]

Dirt Boss Masonry & Excavating do you ever wait until the joists are on so it has some support when you’re backfilling?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

@@omgitzzyou1 Yes usually I'd like to wait till the beams are in.. but usually we bought a floors before the deck is on.

[@Hondacr250kid]

Is that a tilt blade attachment for your bucket on the skiddy? If so how do you like it, we have a kubota svl95

been there done that...your compactor is way to light for the job and the lifts are way to big as well...Remember you asked...

Thanks for your thought.. I beg to differ I get compaction tests all the time.. this is sand !

they are putting the house on foundation before pouring concrete in basement?????
