You're SO POSSITIVE when you plan out your work. NEVER any hemming & hawing just zappa dappa do! PLUS you operate that way no matter what job you're on (even the side of a cliff!) HEY, that's what the engineers say - ("Works on Paper") but then it takes YOU to make it work! He yells, "H E L L O"! Great job!!! Thank you!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks buddy 😎

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family

[@lightning9279]

Slip sleeve movement is nil I image. Guessing since the sewer pipes are below the frost line the connections don't get glued? Love that you are always willing to teach. Great vid. Happy Turkey day.

[@jamescole1786]

1/23/23; 2day watched you install that 6" gravity flow sewer from main (9'below surface blktop?) then 45°upward & 18" below water main...then another 45° to intercept long (75-80' long?) upslope 'run' to then reduce to 4" to penetrate block foundation under slab for ultimate vertical connect to new bathrooms/toilet etc. Your video compresses 3-4 days (?more?) tear out blacktop parking, excavate, install, connect, inspections, then reverse, compact pea gravel (#1?) & inspect. Continue fill & compact up to bottom of blacktop level, blktop, sweep, load up & then...💪🍺🍺🍺🍺🫕🍷😅Another great video! Stay safe & carry on!🤠

[@DIRT-BOSS]

You are on par! 💪

Very nice clean work. I have learned a lot from your videos that helps me with my more basic jobs. You have such an impressive variety of skills that one can learn the trade just from watching all that you do. I appreciate your explanations as you go which both instruct and warn you at the same time. Keep them coming, and I'll be waiting for the next one. Many thanks and a happy Thanksgiving.

Very nice job sir ! Looks like that bevel tool on the drill works fantastic.

[@BZ1340]

Sweet vid. Interesting, Ida liked to have seen the punch out inside the building and the final pavement. All sweet and clean.

[@robbyrigoni2940]

Nice sawzal would been nice cutting the existing pipe.

[@ahand8935]

Well planned and executed brother 💯😎

[@genecoppedge5972]

Very precise work, you’re like a surgeon with a scalpel. I learned so much from this video, so now I’m a subscriber and a student.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks for the sub!

[@rudysconstruction]

Looks great, It’s a huge weight off once you get down to the main & get hooked up. Job well done Dirt Boss, Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🙏🏼

[@paull6649]

Awesome Video! Super content and informative. I would have definitely been interested in an asphalt portion. You have a way of making everything interesting. I would watch a "Dirt Boss makes Spaghetti" video and still probably learn stuff. Have a Great Thanksgiving!!!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Lol thanks man

[@njonebale7889]

Nice job D-Boss! Those deep ones with the box are stressful, thank goodness you weren’t on a busy county road doing it, that’s what turned my cabassa grey! You did a good job and the town engineer saw that, that’s how I got busy doing it, hopefully they start referring you because you know like I know that’s where the ducketts are at! Happy thanksgiving to you and the D-Boss! Family!

Hey Thanks Ed 💪

[@alexosborne5629]

Nicey nice Dirt Boss!!! Done many of these types of connections, always something somewhere to keep you on your toes..... glad to see you left your mark on the pipe too 😂 Good going for three days work, pity the black toppers didn't turn up.... maybe next week ??? 🤔 Happy Thanksgiving Mike and family!! 😃🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@pb4414]

Just subscribed to the Dirt Boss channel. The videos I've watched so far have been very informative and interesting to watch. Excellent viewing looking forward to watching more.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks

[@jcadult101]

44:22 I watched a building going up. When they did the basement they had these giant ibeams holding the ground back. Pulling the beams they had this vibrator thingy that grabbed the ibeam and vibrated it out. Considering you had the packer on there made me think if you had a hook or something on the plate that let you press the packer plate against the plate while vibrating as you pull up.

[@joeabbott4588]

Water line was a little deep for our are but the sewer main was shallow. I'm usually 20 plus almost all the time.

[@g.prince6265]

Thats not an ideal situation ,but i got faith in yall,make it happen gentlemen 🤘

[@yenerm114]

You can tell you had a good plan in place for this one, n it went to plan 👌👍being in the parking lot ya actually had real good ground, I’ve done storm where your 12to15’ deep n having to backfill before dragging the box w ya for the next section , but that’s lil diff then ur job , just wanted to say you n meek did 👌👌👍👍👍👍👍🤘 happy thanksgiving

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Appreciate it!

[@reverendjimjones9061]

nice work dirt boss, i did this sort of work for twenty years here in canada and have seen the good, bad and downright ugly, lol, never seen a bevel tool like that either, i know they had them for abs work, i was a surgeon with a cut off saw though beveling everything from ductile iron to plastic, its great fun beveling a one meter+pvc, the only thing i saw that would not fly here is the crew has no safety vests or hard hats, workers compensation board here is strict and for good reason, especially the four foot rule on excavation, the fines levied here would bankrupt most if one dares to tempt fate, all the best.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks

[@dalepremo3695]

That was incredibly impressive - you know your stuff, that's for sure. I have to admit I was afraid what might greet you two when you cut that main line, LOL! Happy Thanksgiving to you, the Mrs. and the rest of your beautiful family, my friend.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Oh yeah Dale I'm a germaphobic! But when you're in the zone you forget all about it and just get it done I didn't even wash my hands when I was eating my sub for lunch.. 😂

[@berkoskilandscaping4247]

Cool job, how wide would the hole need to be for you to not have to use the trench box?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

30'

[@Froggy_Devil]

now you'll have even more work... It's all good...

[@edgundlach2811]

Very nice job Mike. Really nice, I would have never known it was your first live sewer main tie in. It's similar to other tie ins, just bigger pipe.. lol I'm not just greasing your wheels, but talking from experience as a 30 plus year licensed journeymen plumber here in chicago area. I had a state not a Chicago license. Did lots of work in chicago though. Ed from Chicago 🙂

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks Ed!

[@andygulick6085]

Slick 45 lay out / travel measurement tool

[@steelcitysewerman]

Sdr35 gasket fit that big gets tough to fit grease it and use a strap wrench to pull fittings together. You're better off getting shoring jacks and plates instead of using a box saves time

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks! Send me the link of the wrench

[@SparkysGarage]

Solid vid DB! Can you do a vid on what a GC can do vs what a licensed plumber is required for? Were you subbed for this job? Just curious about taking the next step with jobs like this.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes I was subbed in New York we don't need to be licensed in certain districts to perform plumbing work only inner City

[@SparkysGarage]

@@DIRT-BOSS awesome Thank you!

[@markcrowther2355]

Brilliant!! How did you price the job if you don't mind me asking?...I'm guessing you break the costs down on what you think it would take then add costs for stuff not going right then a good chunk for profit as thats a stressful gig...Do you aim for 50k profit on a gig like that? For example did you price that hydrovac to excavate the whole hole then if you dig by machine you make extra profit...obviously risky if you dig and that water line was slightly off and you hit it.... I'm guessing thats a 150 to 175 grand job curious to know how far I'm off. Great content..Id love to tackle a job like that!!!

[@andrewknowlton9274]

Now that’s a neat beveling tool. How big do they make those? I’m always using a cut off saw to bevel pipe

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Not sure I just bought a four six and eight

[@nolt4024]

Lot of crews around here use granite dust fill from the cement trucks…is that because you don’t have to pack it in lifts like you do dirt?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

You never seen it but yeah makes sense

[@MrJeast]

Dirt plumber. Good job

[@TimMcArdle]

I know there's a reason but why don't they allow you to drop straight into the manholes on situations like this? I know they don't do it around here either even though it seems like that would be so much easier. Happy Thanksgiving guys! Nice job as well!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes because Home depot's line we would have been crossing it they don't allow crossing

[@TimMcArdle]

@@DIRT-BOSS I understand. I know sometimes in the plumbing world, rules are very confusing and sometimes just over complicate things! I'm sure you'd agree! Lol

[@ajrikli]

Very good, Dirt Boss! Thanks as always. When you're finding that water line, do you typically include it in your scope to use a private utility locator or make the GC/your client do it?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

811

[@ajrikli]

@@DIRT-BOSS right on, but stuff that's behind the meter is what I was wondering about. 🙏

[@DIRT-BOSS]

@@ajrikli yes if we were concerned but we checked there's no power going in the buildings but besides where they marked it.. at that point we would hire GPR ground pressure radar company to come in market out

[@doehunter]

I had my sewer lateral collapse at my home, cost me 8k to have it replaced. Ouch!

[@face6941]

Where did you get that measuring stick from? The metal one you used for the 45 measurement from the WYE??? Thanks!!!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Actually Home Depot

[@jollyg83]

Nice work. I was expecting a river of shit when you cut the sewer main. Did you have the flow blocked off up stream or were you just lucky and picked a low flow day?

[@aHeatFresh]

Quick question Mike, and it might be a stupid one but after the 6 inch cleanout and where it goes into the building is that someone elses work or did you guys do that to? Like what happens past the hole you put through the block I was curious.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Good question yes plumbers take it from there

[@mistsemy1522]

I just curious why you just put in a concrete structure and take in out, i don't think it for safety reason during the pipe fitting. BTW awesome job 👍

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes it was an aluminum trench box for safety
