Setting The Catch Basin And Pipes At The Retention Pond Job

[@JerichoRally]

You're both fortunate to have each other!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I agree!

[@terryrogers1025]

You are getting better with the grade bucket on the excavator. Job is really taking shape looks good. Thanks for the ride along.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! It’s a handy bucket for sure

[@timmymalone5444]

Looking good. Dad's are the best.👍👍

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! Yes they are

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Getting it done woohoo. Great video Brandon

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks man!

[@dalepremo3695]

We all got a kick out of your dad at about the 8:00 minute mark when he suddenly popped up out of the box. It was like you had him hiding in there just to surprise us! Nice job as always.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

🤣🤣 he was like a gopher that was pretty funny

[@sparky178]

Turned out great. Nothing like racing the clock! 😊

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks man! That is true

[@tristardiggin]

Sweet looking job. Nice to be able to design in your head and then build it. A lot of satisfaction in doing that...

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! I agree I really enjoy that part it’s even better if it actually works 🤣

[@littlefinkle7757]

Howdy Elites! 🤠 Looked like a fun little project! Enjoy your weekend!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! You too

[@robertforrest7956]

Don't you just love windy days when your having to lift heavy items to move.... 😁 Hope this solves all the issues!! Nice work though. 👍👍👍

[@eliteearthworksllc]

It never fails lol appreciate you watching

[@mikenixon9164]

Nice

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you!

[@Ferrosteph]

I hope you can film this construction under heavy rain :)

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I will definitely do that

[@duxnlabs]

Great! Loved seeing both of you go at it!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! It was pretty cool and we moved a fair amount of dirt

[@nategrose7673]

Nice job! From design to completion. Will be great to see the finale grade and function of it in the future.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! It should turn out really nice when it’s finally done

[@rustrtal]

Always enjoy your videos! It would be great to see this revisited during a rain event and see it in action

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! Yes I plan to do that. 👍🏻

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

That’ll do! If it doesn’t… I’ll eat your hat! Brandon, we got 1 1/8” rain. I think it came down in two pours. It flushed through like cattle stampeded. I assume you had that in, before it came? I have another video with Brady coming out tomorrow… this time he’s painting and assembling a porch glider…. He said to tell you, “Hi” the next time I saw you. I may get caught up enough to holler at you next week. Are you going to be in the area? Tell your dad he’s really getting good in that skiddy!!!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Yes we got it before the big rain. Oh cool sounds like a great video. I’m working at the new Starbucks in Webb city now right next to Burger King on rangeline. I will tell him he is doing a lot better

[@MONSTERMISFITS]

Looks great brother

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks man!

[@arkansas1336]

Nice, clean grading, awesome!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! I appreciate that

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

That turned out awesome, awesome job Brandon

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! Appreciate you e

[@dirtguy6537]

Man Brandon you made something out of nothing looks great awesome work.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks man! It’s still a bit weird to me to have retention pond right there by your entrance but it’s better than it flooding I guess

[@brianherron5400]

pond looking good 👍, nice job

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you

Cool ! That I haven't come across your channel before? Of course, the subscription is on

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! I appreciate that!

[@jakeduffin4626]

You guys did a great job! That turned out awesome! That was a really cool project and video!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! Hopefully it will dry up soon so we can get back and finish grade it

[@jakeduffin4626]

@@eliteearthworksllc your welcome and hopefully, this year has been tough! It seems like just about the time things dry out it rains again!

[@jeffterhune8573]

Looks great, you all stay safe.

10/10 For the way you joined the pipes using your machine, bet DP is trying that , in secret of course......has Mrs EE been fired?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

🤣🤣 that’s probably true.

[@CaptKirk1701]

You don’t move that fast in the bedroom do you? 😂😂 looks great!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Um sometimes 🤣🤣 thanks man

[@Tlclrb]

Nice work. Only thing i would of did different, i wouldn’t of out that pipe right ip against each other. There will be a void there now and could settle.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! Yeah I should have put some more space in them I got in a hurry lol

[@davecrable1356]

I'm surprised that you didn't provide the minimum one foot separation between the two pipes for compaction as specified in the pipe manufacturer's installation specifications. But it should be okay provided that there is no future 'piping' around the outside of the pipe during heavy rains.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I probably should have but with the curve and the roots I just left them together. It may settle some over time but at least they don’t plan to do anything just let it go back to nature

[@JerichoRally]

I thought the same as well but I'm wondering if the requirement for compaction is relaxed given the particular installation.

[@davecrable1356]

@@JerichoRally Being that it is a shallow installation in a non traffic area, pipe structural integrity should be fine. I'm more concerned about one of those flooding storms coming along, finding the path of least resistance (underneath and between the two parallel pipes) and eventually eroding and blowing everything out...

[@rossh1152]

What’s the purpose of the one scope of gravel at the start of the pipe run?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I just put it to keep mud from washing in the box if it rained.

[@blackdogexcavator21]

Man, had the whole fleet on that one. How does your Dad's machine compare to the 250 as far as pushing power?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Yes we did 😁 it does good but it doesn’t have the pushing power of the bigger machine but it definitely holds its own

[@gabrielbyrne6676]

My question may look stupid to some. But why is the catch bassin so high compared to grade ? Isn't it supposed to catch surface water ? Please be kind in your answer. Just want to learn 😊

[@eliteearthworksllc]

It’s only suppose to let a small amount of water in at a time but in big rains or floods the pond is suppose to fill up and dump over the top of the catch basin to let more water in faster if that makes sense

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

How's your gas and diesel prices down there.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Diesel is $5.19 and gas is $4.09 it’s ridiculous

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Diesel 5.24 gas no eth. 4.84 prem 5.19 NW Wisconsin.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Man I wish something would be done about it. I’m spending $300-$500 a day right now

[@bobbymarion3043]

What percentage tint did you use?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

15 on the sides and back and 35 on the front

Right on!

[@SajjadAhmed-qc9cn]

Should you not have dug adrenergic hole for the catch basin

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Ok 👍🏻

[@raymondrussell500]

The box looks too high?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

It looks better now that I have more dirt around it. I didn’t know it was coming with a lid. I may end up taking that off
