Digging Water Lines On New Construction Homes

Digging water lines to 8 new construction homes. Too muddy to finish yards so we are trying to get the water lines put in these houses and will be starting on the sewer lines next week. As always thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks

I "dig" the bucket cam! (has anyone already made that joke yet? lol!) I hate it when my front porch gets mixed up with my back porch lol!! That is a "little" mistake! Thanks for the video!

At least you are able to dig the rock. The force main sewer job I'm working on is taking a lot of breaking with the hammer. Makes for an extra long day. Nice work

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Jared Ellis oh yeah that would make a terribly long day! No thanks lol! Thanks again for watching and commenting

[@briangardiner1015]

Jared look at the Xcentric ripper made be Hensley. Check it out on their website. It is a vibrating ripper will out perform a hammer.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Brian Gardiner cool

Nice job Brandon! Churnin’ out a video every cpl days now! 🤜🤛

[@josephboley]

hello there fella. I've been subscribed to you for only a few months. I really enjoy your videos. I heard about you from logger Wade and I'm sure glad I did. I liked the video you did yesterday about the maintenance on your equipment. stay safe out there and take care buddy.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Joseph Boley thank you! Yes Wade is a great guy! Thank you for subscribing and supporting the channel! Glad you liked the maintenance videos, that’s something I really try to keep up with. As always thanks for watching

[@josephboley]

Elite Earthworks LLC .i will be here supporting you bud. thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos bud. I know it can't be easy. so thank you very much bud.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Joseph Boley that’s awesome man! It is time consuming but with commented like yours it makes it all worth while!👍🏻

[@josephboley]

Elite Earthworks LLC .well I appreciate what you do for us. stay safe out there and take care my friend.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Joseph Boley thanks again you do the same!

[@dalltex]

Once again- very nice vid! Lovin the bucket cam also. As shallow as the water lines are- can you use a trencher or does the boulders make it easier to just use the excavator? They do make ones you can sit on if that's the issue 😂.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Dall Tex thank you! You probably could but yes the rocks make it a pain so it’s about as easy with the excavator. Plus we usually dig the sewers at the same time. Thanks again

[@jeffskewes9456]

looks like we gotta get dirt masher elite a ripper bucket 4 that stuff

[@ToTheTopCrane]

That poor mini, digging through those rocks. 😔 Those houses are so close together, if one catches fire, they will all go up like a cannon fuse. Nice work my friend!🙂👍

[@eliteearthworksllc]

To The Top Crane yes I’m going to wear this thing out by the end of the year at this rate 😆. Yeah they’re a bit close, will be 14 houses total when it’s done. Thanks for watching

[@psidvicious]

Those are fairly spacious lots compared to many of the homes built around here. Commonly, homes around here are built on what they call ‘zero lot lines’ meaning, the wall on one side of your house demarcates the neighbors property line. And your ‘yard’ bumps up to the neighbors wall on the other side. Just one more way to pack ‘em in I guess. 🤜🤛

[@eliteearthworksllc]

psidvicious wow! Ok compared to that these definitely are spacious! Lol

[@markmortensen4341]

I always thought the front porch went on the front of the house. You must have had guys from down under where they read them backwards❗️😂😂‼️‼️

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Mark Mortensen I guess so 😆 I’m not sure how this happened but it’s funny! Thanks again Mark for watching

[@hartmanbuildspa614]

I have similar size machines too. Been thinking about strictly doing excavating...no employees=less stress

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Hartman Builds PA cool! Yes I work harder some days but still enjoy not having the added stress of employees. Had to deal with that back when I landscaped! No thanks they can wear you out! Thanks for checking out the channel!

[@davidnull5590]

It's hard to tell on KZbin how deep water lines are in your area, Ithaca New York they have to be at least 60 inches deep. Also for new construction the Title Insurance companies are now requiring certification from the land surveyor that all of the utility lines are only on the property or the town's easement, no touching neighboring properties, sometimes it's difficult to get the sign-offs considering the surveyors and their insurance companies are forever responsible for their written assurances. Thank you again for your videos.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

David Null code here is 30 inches. That would be tricky to get all the companies coordinated, but it’s a good idea. I have ran into some lines that cut across the property line from the neighboring house that are not located. Makes it a real pain. Thanks again for watching and commenting David

[@cookiesservices4552]

Before when you were in the landscaping business were you working with your dad and his business? Btw I was trying to be funny on the comment about the Mrs I am actually subbed to her channel haven’t seen any vids yet still waiting. Thanks Brandon you make some nice vids.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Cookies Services yes I started it as a lawn and landscaping company when I was in high school. He got an early retirement deal from the phone company in 2002 and came on board then. I was 22 and more or less just wanted to do the work so he took over the business side. I’ve always wanted to do more excavating and dirt work. It only took about 17 years for that to happen 😂 but here I am. I keep telling her to start posting some videos, maybe one of these days! You’re welcome, thank YOU for watching! Appreciate the support

[@iamReddington]

For the small excavators, why do you put the front blade down before digging? Is it due to balance?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Malachi Giordano yes it helps stabilize the machine and keeps it from sliding or being pulled when you dig. Thanks for watching

[@briangardiner1015]

I like how you used the sign about the sale of the house for a tripod. I think if you put out a video every couple days is good. So do you estimate the top of the bucket being the height for the water line depth?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Brian Gardiner lol got to use what’s available! I’m trying for every other day, if I did every day my editing would be terrible and I don’t want to do that. Yes I just use the bucket for a quick reference. The water lines need to be 30” deep at least. Thanks again for watching and commenting

[@boitanoexcavation3564]

That slop in your stick pin tho 10:43

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Boitano Excavation yeah the thumb has a little slop. If I ever get my quick coupler the slop should improve. Thanks for watching and have a good Thanksgiving

[@jgwjr1]

Nice video, where did the guard on the window go?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

jgwjr1 thank you! I took it off to clean a bunch of grease off the glass and haven’t put it back on yet. I’m on the fence about leaving it off. Thanks for watching

[@jgwjr1]

@@eliteearthworksllc If i left it off, the first thing that would happen is, I'd break the window. But i do demolition and land clearing so...

[@eliteearthworksllc]

jgwjr1 yeah I’ll probably put it back on soon. That’s what I worry about too is clearing brush

[@fig7334]

Do you charge by day or depending of the kind of job you perform

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Rafael Figueroa yes it really depends on the job. Some are bid jobs some are time and materials. I have had a few by the day where someone just had various tasks they wanted done. Thanks for watching

Do very many Slab Houses get built with radiant floor heat ?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Mrs. Elite Earthworks lol that is true!

[@randallrobison4897]

Did they have the hold house backwards 👍

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Randall Robison no that’s the crazy thing. It was laid out right just had the porches on the opposite sides. Not sure how that worked out. Thanks again for watching

[@jay-od7kh]

what size is water pipe going to the house ?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

jay it’s a 4” sewer line coming from the house. The water line is a 1” pex and it’s in the front. Thanks for watching

[@daveguffey9024]

Are those two house pads or a house with a garage???

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Dave Guffey they’re house pads, they all have a small garage attach to them. They’re all the same house plan just flip flopped. Thanks again for watching

[@daveguffey9024]

@@eliteearthworksllc Wow...Talk about you better along with your neighbors...lol What does a lot like that cost??

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Dave Guffey yeah they’re packed in there. They’re 50’ wide lots. I’m not sure the price per lot on this property, it was purchased as one lot. It was an old middle school before the tornado. I believe similar lots are around $12,000-$16,000.

Did someone transpose the house by 180 degrees on you? the weather here is back to winter it's meant to be spring going on summer but had snow, hail, thunder, lighting you name it I'm over it can you take it back.

I guess their mistakes make you more work and cash hopefully, like the different POV of the camera and the music
