Installing A Storm Water Drain

[@3069mark]

You sure a smooth & good operator there, EE! This is the first video I have watched on your channel, and I will be watching more!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

3069mark thank you! I appreciate that! Glad to hear you will be back! 👍🏻

[@JasonWorksAlot]

Comrade earthworks LLC was nice of you to jump down and be giving a hand. Not everyone would do that, good to see a solid working ethic. A VODKAS A DAY.... IS THE ONLY WAY YA!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

JasonWorksAlot lol I get bored sitting in the machine and waiting. I was the guy in the ditch a long tome ago. Plus it helps keep me in shape😜. Thanks again for watching comrade!

[@MichaelJBerg]

Damn that all the deeper the storm sewer is. I guess the ground don't freeze down thataway 😋 Great job.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Michael J Berg it’s maybe 2’ down. The ground may freeze 6”-8” down here. Our winters are weird, it may be super cold for 4 or 5 days then 50 a day or two. Thanks again for watching and commenting

[@dalltex]

Good video. Made me laugh- you in high speed = head bangin music. Guys layin in the pipe high speed = the cha cha. Nice teamwork with the skid steer guy.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Dall Tex lol yes I like my angry rock music! The time lapse are funny when it’s people working or walking around! Thanks again

[@thederrick1966]

[@eliteearthworksllc]

thederrick1966 thank you sir and thanks for watching

[@VideosByAl]

At least your 811 service did a better job than LetsDig18 ‘s service did. Great job jumping in and helping out.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

VideosByAl yes I was happy for that lol! It helps keep my girlish figure 😆 plus I get bored sitting around. Thanks for commenting and watching

Letsdig 18 is a fucking hack

[@hartleyhomesteadmichigan6041]

Nice work. Even though the utilities are marked I would imagine it’s a little tedious digging by them.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

MancelonaMan yes it’s a slow go, once I can see them it speeds up a bit. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@boitanoexcavation3564]

We need some Mrs Elite videos

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Boitano Excavation she is talking about starting to post some videos! She joins in on the live-streams right now!

[@mrs.eliteearthworks]

I’m trying to come up with ideas for my own videos. Not sure my boring desk job would make exciting viewing 😂

[@boitanoexcavation3564]

Ya i hear ya i’m terrible at making videos as well I give your husband credit it takes a lot of patience

[@robertmartin2655]

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Robert Martin thank you I really appreciate that! I try to keep them entertaining. Where are you located again? And what would be a better time for you on the live streams? You may not want to watch them lol we get a little out of hand and off topic! Thanks again

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Robert Martin that’s right! I was thinking or New Zealand but that’s Barry. We may do a stream on Saturday or Sunday afternoon sometime. I’ll let you know if we do

[@davidnull5590]

It would be hard to get paid enough for that kind of job, at least two hours and thirty minutes of driving time, 136 miles round-trip figure $40(?) in just gas, you're ambitious. Thank you for the videos. In your city do any of the residential areas have storm water drains to connect to for draining a yard? I'm thinking of those soggy house lots the developer wanted to dry out.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

David Null it is some times, I was able to charge my machine from when I left the shop until I got back and another $65 for the fuel. So I will come out alright on this but no always so lucky. There are some areas in town that the yards drain to storm drains in the roads. The older part of town does not but they are starting to go back through and add it. Thank you for watching the videos, I enjoy making them and then hearing the feedback from everyone. I have met a lot of neat people from this and it’s cool to get different takes on how to approach things! Appreciate the questions and feedback. Thank you!

[@burningdinosaurs]

So, they just leave the gravel open as a filter for the storm drain or?? That excavator can pick up bigger pieces of concrete than I expected! Must have a pretty good thumb on it! Thanks for the video!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

burningdinosaurs you have to fill the trench full of clean rock because it’s under a parking lot and driveway. When it’s all said and done they will pour a new sidewalk and redo the parking. The clean rock will filter the water and it doesn’t really settle. Thanks again for watching

[@matthewperez555]

Roadside construction has to be a bit nerve wrenching lol. Imagine if one of those cars veered off and hit you.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

It can be at times lol

[@karensuemiller4917]

I have family in Springfield and Branson

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Cool! I’m out of Joplin but occasionally work in Springfield

[@arkansas1336]

Great content! It seems you and the general contractor where about the only two that had a complete grasp of the project's needs. What are they developing that property for? ....13

[@eliteearthworksllc]

arkansas13 thank you! It did feel that way lol! It’s going to be a new KFC, it’s across the street from Bass Pro. Hoping to help on the retention basin that will be under the parking lot. I have seen them done but I have never been onsite be cool to see how it all goes together. Thanks for commenting and watching

[@DC-1]

Not fair...you have inside info!!!!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

D C lol I guess she does have an unfair advantage! Thanks for watching

[@briangardiner1015]

What was that white powder? nice job as usual. Too bad you weren't able to finish the next day and go home.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Brian Gardiner it is screenings which is the fines in base rock. That’s what they are called here or 3/8 minus. They use them to pad around gas and water lines. It’s basically lime sand. Yes it would have been better to stay and finish up the next day. Thanks again for watching

[@jamessween]

Hello from Wisconsin, I see you have a annoying sound on you mic just like I do, but mine is a noise like, I'm going to say maybe a ground problem or maybe if i'm around electric fences with dairy, that might be some kind of interference. I just can't find it. But I don't understand the sound your getting. But anyways your video is still good in my book. Looks like you are very busy. Thumbs up to ya, my friend!Think the rain will stay away for a wile?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

James Sween you my magnet mount was coming apart and the camera was shaking. I think this easy last video with that mount. I have a new magnet now, so hopefully no more annoying noise. Thanks again for watching

[@yvonnejohnson1557]

That looked like one heck of a job.did the city have to stick there two cents in it.? Here in in ind takes them fore ever to do any thing nice vid. Tks gary

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Yvonne Johnson yes they paid to the lower the gas main. And most of the time they do take forever, but they got this done fairly quick. Thanks again for watching

If you ain’t first, you’re last! 😂

Mrs. Elite Earthworks challenge accepted comrade. It's on.

What u using to pull that mini? Been looking for a truck for my mini but am torn

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Moto Hellion I normally use a 1992 4900 International dump truck. This video I was using my 2500 duramax cause I was about an hour from my shop and my dump truck only goes 50. I have my dump truck in a few other videos. The duramax pulls it fine but the stopping is a little harder. A 1 ton would be a lot better. Thanks for watching

[@connerfleury7]

@@eliteearthworksllc good to know thankyou. My big thing is staying within the weight limit so i dont have to get my cdl quite yet. And having a daily driver as well as a work truck is a big factor as well. Thoughts on gas vs diesel?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Moto Hellion I would get a diesel if you are going to be pulling a lot, it will handle the wear and tear better. Plus they will get a bit better mileage when towing. Thanks again

[@connerfleury7]

@@eliteearthworksllc thankyou. Planning on getting a 19 3500 duramax. But ive heard some horror stories with the diesels. But i totally agree with u.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Moto Hellion I’ve had great luck with mine but it’s an 08 so it doesn’t have all the emissions crap on it
