From Bad To Worse: My Day Turned Into A Total Disaster!

[@cyberhornthedragon]

i am SO glad theres no smell O' vision

[@j.walker3498]

ptsd I was a plumber for decades. I could smell it

[@dave_n8pu]

JUST got to that spot in the video, I couldn't agree more.

[@davidmelinsky841]

I worked for a contractor who walked across the rotten, metal, septic tand lid hidden under a layer of leaves and debris. He was 6'2", the tank was 8' deep and full of it. One second he was there , the next second he wasn't! He popped out and spent the next 30 minutes having me hosing him down. I never mentioned or joked about it with him after that day.

Could also be described as a "Shitty day"!

[@tonyferguson9653]

I’ve filled in a couple of those. After having it pumped I had to crush the tank and break the bottom so that it couldn’t hold water under ground in the future.

[@alfredomarotta6604]

It's the law in Ohio to crush the bottom of the septic tank, for that reason.

[@MelvinLochner]

[@daleficklin1607]

Yeah and fill it with pea gravel for no settlement.

[@quaileggsvermont]

[@natecampbell4708]

WOW, I did NOT expect that ! When I saw the thumbnail, I wondered if one of the axles broke somehow. When you started backing up & I saw the bottom of the wheel was wet, & then saw water, I thought that you found the cistern you'd mentioned. I never expected an old septic tank. The fact this all happened on a rainy day seems appropriate. In any event, glad y'all finally worked it out.

[@stevelalondejr2183]

My guess was right an thankfully I've never experienced that issue with a septic and heavy equipment, we weight 21/22 tons but we need be 50' minimum by law from a septic system to drill a water well. Not all home owners know where the tank is and whoever put in the new system and those that okayed it were both at fault for the way it was left and abandoned ! Needs a hole or 2 in the bottom of old tank and bet old leach field was the other soft spot.

[@SusanBuckingham-ut2ez]

Home owner knew. County wanted $750.00 to "abandon" that tank (just cover it up, cheaper)

[@oldfarmer4700]

Years ago I did a lot of ruff grading around new construction and backfilling basement or what ever they wanted. I can’t tell you how many basement walls and retaining walls I’ve seen fall in. Not because of me but because the builders want me to backfill way to much before any wood would be on the basement. I kept telling them I fill it but if it rains a lot lots of pressure on that green concrete. Sometimes you can’t fix stupid.

[@mischef18]

I hope the next video is just as entertaining, laughed at the end, but did feel your stress while you were trying to get out of the hole.

This is one of those times that you hope doesn't happen very often. Hear about it, but you don't see a lot of these incidents unless it's a quick short to get attention. Thank you for sharing the whole process with us. Glad you didn't wreck/damage anything important. The days things don't go as planned.... you executed it well.

[@paulmartin8212]

I'm so glad it was the old system and not your fault. No one got hurt and the equipment is fine also. Just another day excavating. Some are good, some are more exciting.

[@larrybolhuis1049]

Whenever you say 'Fill Dirt' it reminds me so much of an old local Saturday AM Radio show about gardening and general property maintenance. The hosts were principals in a local garden store with several locations. They took the names Pete Moss and Phil Dirt for the show. Like DP and MBTS they bantered and cracked jokes and had fun with lines like 'split your plants'. They were truly experts and took questions and gave advice. Fun to see you too working together and enjoying it, even when things go to ****. 🙂

in many counties throughout the US abandoning a system like that comes with regulations and required inspections that need to be completed and signed off.

It's where they dug up for the septic system that you keep getting stuck in.

[@williambryant5946]

Times like these at the beginning of the video when you can't get the dump truck full of dirt where you need the dirt is when a track loader comes in handy. You could dump the dirt on stable ground and scoope it up with the loader and track it where it needs to go and grade it as well. Its just like a skidsteer that's just much bigger. A 953 Cat track loader is one of my favorite pieces of grading equipment for helping to clear and cleaning up house lots, moving the dirt the excavator digs from the house's basement into a large compact pile, then backfilling around the new house, and finally grading the yard. It works great for grubbing out small trees, brush, and undergrowth too. I'm biased though I guess cause I spent most of my time on the track loader at work.

[@gussaba9004]

Great recovery good job

[@randywhelan8944]
