[@JonTheMiniBeastHadden]

You should make these jobs into video series so you can show a lot more of the process. It's very interesting to watch

[@DaleWHickman]

Thank you so much for your comment and watching my channel appreciate it. I did do a trailer for a show called MegAdocks out of California one time but I don’t think it ever took off at least they never called me lol maybe I wasn’t the personality they needed. 😄 It is very interesting as you say that’s why I enjoy my job so much and still being out in the field doing it.

[@DaleWHickman]

Thank you for your comment and watch Jerry. I appreciate that! Trust me we have plenty to do in this area right here. I wish we could we hear that a lot.

[@slavashifchik4528]

Nice job. Nice video,but would be really good to see finished product shot at the end including pier walk and gazebo. Thank you.

[@DaleWHickman]

Thank you so much for your comment and watching a lot of times I’ll get the job started then I end up leaving for another crew to finish. I try to get a final shot, but sometimes don’t make it back.

[@slavashifchik4528]

Got you. That was easy explanation. No offense. Interesting videos anyway. Thanks anyway. It’s just you watching, watching and waiting for final results and then ops… 😉😂😂

[@busterbritt5404]

Simply Masterful As Always ! Makin it look like gravy ! Hey Boss , Can I Get A Job Like Gatlin’s ?? Swimmin On The Job In Paradise !!! 🤣✌🏼

[@DaleWHickman]

Hey Britt, thanks for your comment and watching my channel. I really appreciate your remarks! We’re always looking for good capable people if you’re actually serious but Gatlin definitely lives the Dream life. I should probably just do a video on my German Shepherd people comment more about them. They are a good drawing card. 😃

[@kevincurry859]

Nice looking job, very professional, I'd work for you.

[@DaleWHickman]

Thanks for the great comment and watching my channel I appreciate it. We’re always looking good people .

[@agil8250]

Dale great video and information. I’m new to the business and just bought my first excavator for marine construction. Can’t seem to figure out where to buy the attachment you’re using. could you please tell me what vibrator attachment that is.

[@DaleWHickman]

Congratulations thanks for watching. I appreciate that and your comment. What part of the country are you working in?

[@agil8250]

Miami Florida

[@DaleWHickman]

@@agil8250 the attachments actually a caterpillar product that I purchased with the equipment. I do have another one for my John Deere smaller machine, but I don’t recall right off hand what it is.

[@briansheedy5779]

I’ve used helical piers in the residential work that I’ve done in the past. Would those ever be used for hold backs or any other application in your sea walls ? I’ve only used them in specific situations but I always want to learn something new from someone like yourself who is a real pro

[@DaleWHickman]

Hey Brian thanks for your question and watching my channel. I thought about the Piers myself but it’s additional equipment needed to install those. I’ve got the equipment now to install the Manta-Rays, but I am quite impressed with the Piers .

[@richardburch6424]

Hi Dale, I really enjoy watching your videos... I wish you were in Louisiana. I'd love for you to do a job for me. It would be awesome if you were to come to Louisiana and do my job, it can all be done from land no barge needed.

[@DaleWHickman]

Hi y’all thank you so much for watching my channel in your comment. I really appreciate kind words! I wish we could too, but we are pretty backed up over here and I like to be able to go home every night and sleep. Take care if you need some help selecting a contractor I’ve got a vendor that works in that area. I could get some recommendations for you.

[@richardburch6424]

@@DaleWHickman that would be nice if you could get that over to me. Thanks

[@Gotmoniesification]

We use concrete slats what we in Carolina is called pig slats but we use those instead of those metal catwalks any ideas why they don’t use that over in your parts?

[@DaleWHickman]

Thanks for watching my channel and your question not really sure what that is. Sounds like it might be pretty heavy also.

[@seancasey2444]

Do you build the walls with concrete sometimes or just the metal.Down here in south east Florida all the walls are concrete .

[@DaleWHickman]

Thanks for your comment and question. Majority of our walls are vinyl and wood at times we do a concrete top cap. We have nothing but sand here so easy to install stuff in the ground. I don’t really care for Concrete; myself because of its ability to soak up salt water causing rebar to expand and crack the concrete. There is fiberglass rebar which cost a lot more money as well. As you may know.

[@daddygoat]

That's fantastic. Nice work. I am guessing $290K ....?

[@DaleWHickman]

Thank you so much for your comment and question. I also appreciate you watching my channel. I wish it was that much lol no probably in the range of 150 to 170? Not really sure the exact cost on this project.

[@kegfreak3728]

Whats your lead time for a dock? I'm up off Mullato Bayou and I'm probably a year out from building. Still waiting to finish mitigation.

[@DaleWHickman]

Thank you so much for watching my channel and your comment. Jeremy and Kathy would be best to answer that question at my office. If you need any help with any of the permitting, we can handle that as well and give you a complete. Quote package for tour project. If you would, please mention to them that you were inquiring about this from the KZbin page thank you. 😄 And I’ll have a special gift for you on your project 👍

[@kegfreak3728]

@@DaleWHickman Thanks so much, we are finializing the home we want now and waiting on Corps of Engineers to finish our mitigation work and signoff. Once we are close to a building permit, I will call in!

do you have "T" shirts available? i would love to get one.

[@DaleWHickman]

Thanks for watching my channel Dale and with the name like that I’ve got to get you a shirt. Email me your size and address and I’ll get one to you. [e-mail].

Can I have the link to those sunglasses? 😎

Hey dale did you get a chance to read that email I sent you looking forward to hear back from you. Thanks Mark.

[@DaleWHickman]

Hey Mark, I did sorry just been extremely busy. I’ll try to give you a call today sometime.

[@MarkEveritt-du6qy]

@@DaleWHickman ok sounds good I’m free whenever

[@robertriesen]

Is there a reason why the new sea walls are not being built higher for the increase height of salt water in the near future?

[@DaleWHickman]

Thanks for watching my channel in your comment Robert typically we build them just a little bit lower than the elevation of the lot so they drain properly. A lot of times it’s customers preference where they would like their wall elevation. Sometimes it’s even government regulations as far as the elevations that they are allowed to be in certain areas.

[@joedoakes8307]

WHY don't you just drive interlocking stainless steel piers behind the wood , then remove the wood and back fill with sand ???

[@DaleWHickman]

Thanks for your comment and question there was two more walls behind the front wall. We would of had to give up a couple feet of property and it is very expensive on Pensacola Beach. It was very narrow at one end as it was.

[@smokiedavinci]

WHY are you yelling the word WHY

@@DaleWHickman short sighted people dale...they dont realize all the good that comes from the wealthy...take superyachts for example....building one superyacht employs hundreds of skilled laborers across many industries so next time dont hate on the guy for having that yacht thank him! he couldve just horded the money and hundreds of workers would not have been employed for years at a time
