How to dig a pool, with a backhoe of course!

Part 2 of the pool dig, a bit of explaination and some more rock scratching.

[@derrickpettit3489]

You wasn't kidding frank, that is some rocky ass ground, but needless to say you did an awesome job digging that look, thanks for sharing the process of digging it, appreciate it,

[@Digginok]

Thanks! Appreciate you watching

[@IrishRooster86]

I hope to be as great as an operator you are one day Mr. Frank. Awesome job as usual. Dig on!!

[@greggb3079]

Nate Wagner Hahaha, I like your "Dig on" comment... Mr. Frank should put out some "swag" (hats & tees) with that wording and a logo...

[@briangarland9883]

You are a master with the backhoe !

[@Digginok]

Thanks! I like that comment

[@briangarland9883]

@@Digginok You're welcome !

[@DieselandIron]

That looks like Texas digging! I don't miss it a bit. As weird as it was at first, I love talking into the camera while I'm working. It makes it feel like I'm not by myself in the cab. Great hole by the way. I can't believe how neat it is even with all the rock. You are a fantastic operator.

[@Digginok]

Thanks!

[@alexosborne5629]

That is a tough hole to get right Frank, but if the customer is happy with your work, happy days !!!! Can't do much with the rock, think I would have been tempted to leave that one in place on the side. Could tell you were pleased to get this one finished with sir 👍💪💰

[@gkcontractor8432]

Nice dig Frank, always fun to have to dig pool shallow to to deep but then add rock !!!

[@dirtdauberexcavation1104]

Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it.

[@Digginok]

Thanks! Appreciate you watching

[@spencermcginty9812]

Turned out good! Dealing with the not so easy jobs and making it turn out are what keep people coming back for more!

[@Digginok]

Thanks!

[@greggb3079]

I'd say it turned out pretty darn good. Thank you sir.

[@Digginok]

No complaints! Thanks

[@CaptKirk1701]

Didn't take you for a Blues man Frank. lol Nice job!

[@dennisschmitt8621]

You gave it all the good you could!!! Turned out rather well considering the hard rock!!

[@Digginok]

It’s not too bad! Thanks

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Good music!

[@kerrygleeson4409]

Another great days work 👀🇦🇺👍

[@daverobertson3519]

Never dug a pool , but looks good to me. That one goes on the Favorite customer list one that pays.

[@Digginok]

Yes sir

[@blackdogexcavator21]

Its hard to make chicken salad out of chicken crap but you did it Mr. Frank. That was a tough one. Stay safe sir.

[@Digginok]

It will do! Lol

[@rl3898]

Glad to see not all your soil is clay sands !! Still a neat job though, well done.

I’d say so! She is a keeper

[@carolclark6332]

Music is great!

[@Digginok]

Thanks!

[@stumppiler1002]

I can't figure out what that shade tree is rooted in, they must have dug a hole for that too.

[@Digginok]

I’m sure it’s roots are wrapped around a nice big rock

[@antonioruizrocha1286]

Is not hart to dig for a pool if you got the right machine to do it ! Other than that good job with the backhoe, I have been around too many backhoe operators and you the only one I have seeing running a backhoe properly 👍🏿

[@memyselfandifarmer]

4 in 1 bucket is a nice tool to have.

[@Digginok]

I’m sure it is

[@stevewarner8880]

Like the Blues music Frank. Appropriate for the job I guess. Speaking of pools, your wife get her new pool?

[@jamesfranks545]

Frank what will they do put one of those fiberglass liners in there?

[@Digginok]

I’m sure it will be gunite

[@timebert6141]

I was hoping for a tutorial with a shovel that is all I have. I have dug a many a long mile with a shovel. In my Dad's training program hand tools were a staple for building skill and horse power.

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Tim... 200 years ago... they were building tunnels, mine shafts, gardens, gold ore... heck everything that way... and look what they built. I think a lot of folks should have schooling in how to operate a pick and shovel... it might be a safer world!

[@Digginok]

Shovel? Can you elaborate? I have only heard rumors of such evil devices! Lol

[@timebert6141]

@@Digginok You deny the existence of a shovel because it is the only thing Eric can out dig you with!

[@timebert6141]

@@sassafrasvalley1939 So very true. It is amazing what can be done with hand tools if you throw enough time at it. I didn't want to destroy my yard of fence. I dug out a large rock garden in my yard. Shovel, spud bar and 12 pound sledge.

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

@@timebert6141 even though I have a rear mounted roto-tiller for my tractor... I still hand dig root crops with a spading fork. I tell my wife it’s because they grow better that way. Do they? Perhaps... but for sure, my direct contact with the dirt seems to make them taste better when I consume them!

[@randywilson6869]

I wish your camera was offset a bit so we could see the bucket

[@SuperIanjohnson]

The next project can only be easier than that one, Frank. I hope !

[@Digginok]

Thanks let’s hope so

[@Badgermatt-nc5nr]

You're too hard on yourself! It turned out great!! By the way, how much is that Anderson guy paying you for all that advertising? LOL

[@73DiamondReo]

still turned out great. hopefully he's a repeat customer

[@Digginok]

I think he will call me on the next one. Thanks for watching

[@user-pt8mq2xf1p]

That rock is just no fun. Can you show how you change out your buckets sometime? Thanks.

[@pc_theexcavator5814]

Looks as nasty as the crap we have in North Alabama !!! Good work

[@Digginok]

Thanks! Glad I don’t deal with it every day

[@weed8653]

"Rock Clause" in contract. 8*)

[@Digginok]

Yeah

[@randywilson6869]

I wondered if people bid on the job or charge by the hour. I saw a crew dig for new water line and they had to jack hammer all the way. And a guy that lives up by me bided on a hundred mile of fiber wore out every piece of equipment he had. He said it cost him his company and now it’s just him starting over but I thought he will probably b better off by his self instead of trying to be a big wig

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Frank... makes me want to put on my water wings and dive right in... now, if they only had them in my size and I could muster up enough wind to blow them up!!! #backhoeopensawaterpark

Strive for perfection, do as well as can! Failure is only a concept of your standards. If others find your work as unacceptable, and you did your best! It is not a failure. It is only their concept as to what they want. If you are not given the conditions to meet their standers, and they fail to see. Do not blame yourself. Just cash the check and move on!

[@Digginok]

Yep

[@shawnmartin1584]

By the way have you ever gone to other job sites and looked at some of the stuff(work) they are doing lately.! Im not an operator but It isnt even in the same class. Im sure if anyone could put dirt back in a wall of a pool it'd be you tryin. Ha ha.

[@BroHay1025]

Well, being that I will have a koi pond to build, your tip for the tooth on the cut line will be put into use for some curves. Your backhoe school has made things click to use the machine more and less shovel work.... Back to viewing

[@Digginok]

Thanks for the comment! Shovel is a bad word, even worse if ya have to use it

[@gareth2673]

That look nasty material. I've been used to seeing that rich red soil (dirt) you have around your neck of the woods......

[@Digginok]

Yeah if you look back I have some others that are not nice dirt

[@vernonland5987]

My untrained eye thinks it looks great.

[@Digginok]

You are not wrong, could have been a lot worse
