Excavating and installing footings for a new house in old coal mine strip ground

[@NotJustaTool]

Just taking an unofficial POLL: MBTS Aaron as "Sweet little feller you want to put in your pocket and call him buttercup". Or Dirt Perfect Mike as "Perfectionist big dad micromanager you want to have run your job sight and call him Michelle." Let the numbers show the true will of the people... P.S. I erased my vote so it doesn't skew the numbers... so cast your vote.

A) Mike

B) Aaron

As a teenager I worked as a helper at a construction site prepping footers for pouring concrete. This was for an apartment complex and after about 2 dozen foundations were poured and the block was laid the surveyor quit. Turned out he had messed up the measurements of all the foundations by 6 inches too narrow. Learned some new words from the head of the project.

[@OregonBob1955]

Holy Cow! Those footings were cleaner then the floor joists over at the Castle! Good job guys!

[@jwg19444]

👍Nice precision work; probably a nice change from pushing trees and repairing dams. Thanks for the vid.

[@alexosborne5629]

Two days and no slacking !!! Plenty of laughter on site, makes all the difference Mike 👍 That is how most footings are poured over here, makes sense to use what you have at hand 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Every time I hear that tune at 34:40 it makes me wanna slick my hair back with some Palmaid, put on my City Slicker dancin' shoes are break out in James Brown dance moves. Definitely MoTown Motor City music. Awesome job Mike. No crew in America coulda done a better job than your crew of misfits lead by the legendary slacker MBTS.

Great job as usual. I bet Aaron was a fun kid to have around. Several years ago we had a kid in our neighborhood that was a lot like Aaron. He was a hoot and could make anyone laugh, even on the toughest days. Have a blessed and safe weekend, and stay healthy.

In my younger days I had the opportunity to work for a man that taught me so many things about the excavating job. I really appreciated his wisdom an sharing his knowledge. it really influenced me. as an operator. I gave him much respect for that. I have to say you remind me of that man. Thank you for your teachings. By the way here at home we call people like Aaron Contraries they do all the wrong things for the right reason. Bless you guys

I've never seen footers done like that, very interesting. Up here ( southern Maine) they'd use wooden forms, pour and strip the boards off, I like the way you do it, saves time and materials, I learn something new every time I watch your Vidja's.

Surprised no short rebar spanning across the footing. Also a vibrator makes moving and leveling the mud really easy. Love the baby float. Sure beats hand floating. Our pour today was probably close to 100m3 (Canada) in 2.5hrs with a 120 foot pump.

Mike... as an experienced roller operator... I have to agree with TMBS! When you are looking forward to having having that huge personal vibrator beneath your seat... learning that someone else is enjoying the ride is a rude awakening! Hopefully he doesn’t go to HR and file a grievance for misappropriation of employee benefits. Aaron and Matt work well together... it’s like watching Penn & Teller... except neither one of them want to be the silent one!!! Did you introduce the third helper? I missed his name.
