Excavating for garage footings and frost walls with Kobelco SK160 Excavator

[@dalepremo3695]

Coming along very well - man that's deep! You said the same basic thing Digginok says about not taking too much in your bucket at a time - it blows out the sides of the ditch. Nice and safely done job. Thanks for sharing.

Your videos are helpful I have my first job excavating for a shop foundation. It's only 2ft deep on flat ground, these are great since I don't typically do that type of work.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Awesome I'm glad you enjoyed please subscribe !

[@tjlomin1466]

I would love to do stuff like this

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Well good after it !

I know you are not the architect but why dig frost footings all the way around when a lot of it is backfilled so high on the outside?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

The back wall was used as a retaining wall

[@DowneastDirtworks]

Curious what were the dimensions, if you remember? Thanks!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

I dont but I'm sure I stated it in the video

Found your channel the other day. I did some Const Admin on a Substation build in SW Albany in 2019. You folks up there had a ton of rain, I don't see how much construction got done last year. We had a ton of rain in GA also; where I live south of Atlanta we had a 26" surplus of rain for 2019. That's over 50%.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes we did! Thanks for watching!

How is 7:52 not an OSHA violation, is it because you can get out on the other side?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Good question Brandon.. it's classified as B soil.. then I also did shelf the top of it before the guys went in.

[@brandonszymanski4797]

Dirt Boss Masonry & Excavating gotcha. But if it was C you would have to slope it back, correct?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

@@brandonszymanski4797 slope or shelf definitely..this one was more closer to A there was a lot of hard pan rock..

[@g.aslifestyle]

How do you come up with a bid

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Everything's based on time and material and then there's some fine tune adjustments

[@g.aslifestyle]

I just did a 8 foot cut for a Basement with a skid steer loader jhone deer 331 g the dirt is. Being used 2 lots to the right for a retaing wall about 16 truck loads came out I wanted 10k he brought me down but what ever i finished in 1 day just not sure how to charge it more efficiently

[@g.aslifestyle]

What was the bid for this project

[@DIRT-BOSS]

I can't remember off hand but I believe it was in the mid to high twenties

[@g.aslifestyle]

[@connerfleury7]

How big of a garage?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

[@g.aslifestyle]

How do you charge

[@larrykeenan598]

You need some white paint, it would show up much better. Can I say that now?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

I've used all colors I like the blue for some reason It shows the best for me.. I'll grab some white this week though give it a whirl.. Thanks..

May moi vay

[@sodon10]

Like your video, wish your grade checker was wearing a hard hat though.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

You are correct on that Thanks

[@sodon10]

Deplorable Centrist LOL “if the bucket hits him, a hard hat isn’t going to help” - coming from someone that is likely a complete disaster personally and professionally. Have fun with your OSHA fines buddy, let the pros handle it from here.

[@zahirhali4291]

You big boss not too good in cutting corners

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Rocks Rocks Rocks makes for ugly holes.. thanks for watching!
