[@GRUBB-MUDD]

​@DIRT-BOSS what do u edit on? Computer or iPad or phone? What editor program?

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Boss man… thanks for the ticket to the Mini Excavator gymnastics… I especially liked that spin-a-ruskey move!

[@MichaelJones1527]

Great video Mike. Not everyone understands that type of a slab.

[@stickhillfarm]

Thaanks for the blanket tip. no more hollows and odd pieces that never stay put

[@jculbertson094]

Nice. Never seen a tilt bucket on a skid. Million dollar idea

[@sonnyblazer5504]

*YOU* Big GUY have a way to talk details of what the job will be like you invented it. It's like you rehearsed it all but I attribute much to your years of expertise - *BUT* funny thing is you do the same on10+ *DIFFERENT* jobs. Did *DIRT BOSS* give us a new VIDEO? *YES* so there are NO MISHAPS - *JUST ALL GOOD* and we thank you!!!

[@alittlebitofeverything5090]

**Request Dirt Boss** You have got to set up your gopro on the side of that bridge when you go across it loaded. Would love to see how much it deflects! Thanks! As always awesome job!

[@DirtBrute]

Nice job Mike . Yeah I got a break out the tilt bucket and give it to work out !

[@CowboyCarCrushing]

Well looks who's 1st 🤠👍

[@markg.2501]

Make no mistake about it..This Man LOVES his Tilt Bucket..(Can Ya Blame Him?)

How many functions can you add? It like going from 2 button on a 1990 Nintendo to a 101 keyboard for fornite

My pick for the most talented excavator operator on UTube. One of few who has to deal with really tight spaces and close tolerances on a regular basis. Nice work DB.

[@maxobara1496]

Bing, bang, boom, just like that DB gets it done.💪 Nice to see Crazy Carl back on site!! Mike you haven’t missed a step on moving concrete around 💪 Nice a Nice my friend 👍🇺🇸

[@wingman8447]

You make it happen so well without skipping a beat no matter the challenges giving you.

[@alexosborne5629]

45 minutes from start to finish ???? 🤣 if only it was that simple...... 🤷‍♂️ Back on the concrete gang, hard work, but rewarding 😁👊 Bridge is probably ready for replacement, now that would be an interesting one for you, Mike !!!!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i always enjoy watching you do your work. precision, prep and planning...very enjoyable.

Hello, Time Warp!. Thanks for the Video DB. Great work as usual. Looking forward to seeing more get done.

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

Im impressed w the whole brand dirt boss. Btw i appreciate u coming over and checking out that muddy feet podcast

[@northeasterndirtandpropert7974]

Nice job.Tight spaces always keep you thinking.From material storage to access and efficiency.

[@mickryan3516]

Well done Mike you still teach me new ideas on digging with your explanations but I am jealous of your material to dig I just have thin layer of clay then bedrock usually, but if it’s to easy it’s boring ha ha

[@georgeenriquez612]

Another great video and great work Mike👍🏻 Concrete hard work and can also be fun work to do

[@terrancesnyder9323]

GOOD MORNING

[@tedohio3038]

Very nice video, like to see finished building.

[@brentking-gmailking2570]

Beautiful work

[@MrRickoscar]

Nice.

[@Chestnut0923]

I’m a fan of the Sany machines! I know you like kubota and I’ve ran them a lot but those Sany machines for the price and warranty they have they in my opinion work better than the kubota

[@CowboyCarCrushing]

Zero ☔ in Texas 🥵😩🔥

[@randywinegardner7517]

I’m curious why you put the stone over the foam? In my experience stone goes first to provide a drainage plane below the concrete. Dirt, stone, foam, vapor barrier, then concrete. With the blankets you’ve used here you’re effectively creating a vapor barrier between the dirt and the stone. Enjoy your videos regardless just wondering what the strategy is here.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thermal protection from frost.. any moisture will drain out from the blanket it's got stone under it and on it

[@rustrtal]

Too bad you don’t have slinger trucks in your area…perfect job for one.

[@alansmith7034]

First off love your video's and your projects. I learn a bunch every time. Question, What make of concrete blankets are you using? Thanks and all the best. Keep up the great video's and great work you do. Stay safe.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Not sure of brand

[@supersasquatch]

So the key around permafrost is to fill up with gravel? How deep is needed to be secure long term?

[@badawesome]

I think and Alaskan slab would have vertical and horizontal insulation on the perimeter.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Not all of them..some have none

[@ChunkyMonkaayyy]

Anyone know what kind of stone was that for the base? It didn't look the same as the crush-n-run that we have where I am. The stuff we get packs real tight like concrete, that looked different. I'm not too familiar with this stuff, so I'm definitely ignorant on the subject.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

It was crushed #2 clean rock

[@ChunkyMonkaayyy]

@@DIRT-BOSS Wow, thanks for the reply! Do you have a video on when to use which type of stone? I used "2-inch minus" for my shed and driveway base. It packed in real solid. I watered it and tamped in 2" lifts. But I'd love to learn if I should've used clean stone, or when it's appropriate to use what.

[@davidnull5590]

@DIRT-BOSS Question about your frost blankets/concrete blankets - Don't frost blankets rely on tiny pockets of trapped air to get their insulation value? I'm pretty sure frost blankets need space, they need 'loft'/fluff in order to have insulation value. If they are compressed their insulation value disappears. Does the spec sheet for those frost blankets list the R value for compressed blankets? Thanks.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

At the end of the day it is still foam

Just don’t put bridge inspector on the bug shield of the Kw like the logging guy from Grafton did years ago

[@cyumadbrosummit3534]

Men have been cutting perfect grades without a tilt bucket for 50+ years. Takes 2 minutes to level a starting spot.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Technology my buddy don't be afraid of it

[@panini2016]

Can the slap holds 2 story shed? Will the side need to be deeper than 18 inches? Planing to build a 16x28 sheds. Love the video!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

You would have to ask your manufacturer of the building if it's a prefab or you're building code

[@refixed]

You're a surgeon with that tilt bucket! How would you do this if it was on a clay base? I'm considering doing a frost protected mono slab for my new shop, but I'm only about 2' over bedrock, and it's pretty much all clay... any suggestions?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

You could either cut it down to the bedrock filling with stone or just put Stone under it we do it all the time here on Clay you'll be fine you could also do the extra step and put geotextile road fabric under it then Stone

[@genecoppedge5972]

Amazing work guys that floor is flat. You should see the floors in my house in Arizona. The builders using that cheap labor coming across that southern border. They work fast but the quality really suffers. I appreciate that it’s all Americans working on your project. Americans need to come first not the illegal aliens. In other countries Americans don’t come first. Enough said, thank you for the video.

[@user-ix2mp4ke7x]

Well looks who's 1st . 5:50?.

[@paulhicks4340]

Man I hope to never work with the engineer that made you do that. We do a ton of mono slabs for garages and never had to insulate one yet. I bet you were wishing you kept the 121 on site to throw that stone around, we typically only use our 306 Cat to do all the work

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yeah crazy

[@kylejones2075]

Where do you get those blankets?🌟🌟🌟

[@bigZ8734]

Do these slabs work well for Adirondack camps? Any heaving issues? Looking to get my camp done upstate

[@DIRT-BOSS]

No they work well they're meant to float

[@JDG022664]

What’s the fabric you used? Can that be used instead of foam insulation?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Concrete Frost blankets

[@huntercraft1668]

Besides the stone what held the symons panels in place and to grade?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Metal pins stakes

[@huntercraft1668]

@DIRT-BOSS I couldn't see them in the video. How did you hold them to the pins? All the symons panels I have used only have the slots for keys and holes for nails
