More Progress At The Crawlspace
More progress at the crawlspace. Got the first tier cut to grade on the crawlspace and started on the second one. Also cut out the driveway and got some of the clay placed and rolled in there.

Digging A 9,000sq ft Crawlspace
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.20 часов назад
Digging a 9,000sq ft crawlspace. This is at the 3 acre clearing job they finally got the house pinned in and ready for me to start digging. I dug out the front wall to a depth where I found good clay then started hogging that area out. I used the good clay for the driveway area and the stuff with more dirt to build up the front yard. It's starting to take shape after two days. Thanks for watchi...
Rough Grading At The Slab House
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.14 дней назад
Rough grading at the slab house. I finished hauling the big spoil pile off ended up being 55 loads. Then I brought the TL12r2 back over to grade the hillside out and finish shaping the yard. I didn't get a ton of footage because there were a few rounds of rain throughout the day. The yard shaped up pretty nice and I'll be at some point to spread the topsoil and finish the rock on the driveway. ...
Stabilizing A Hillside With Rip Rap
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.14 дней назад
Stabilizing a hillside with rip rap. I finished removing a failing retaining wall that blew out. The wall was over 100 years old and finally gave out from all the rain. Instead of building another wall back we choose to slope the hill and use rip rap to stabilize it from eroding anymore. It took 8 loads of rip rap or about 135 tons. I placed some road fabric down first then put the rip rap on i...
Root Raking With The Skeleton Bucket On The TL12r2

Root raking with the skeleton bucket on the TL12r2. I finished with the clearing and got all the stumps in the fire so I thought I would try the skeleton bucket to clean up the roots and sticks. The bucket worked out pretty well at separating everything out. The lot will definitely need dirt before they can plant any grass seed. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #skeletonbucket
More Clearing On The House Lot

More clearing on the house lot. Back for another day of clearing and burning, I got most all of the trees down. I have a few to clean up along the property lines then go back and rake up the small sticks and limbs. It didn't take much to get the fire going again and the lot is really taking shape. The homeowner is really happy with how open it is and the trees I have left. Another day or so and...
Clearing A 3 Acre House Lot

Clearing a 3 acre house lot. Back with the 2150 to start clearing trees on this new home site. I am able to burn here cause it's just out of the city limits. The rainy weather this week is actually nice to burn in it keeps the smoke down plus it's something I can work on when it's wet. I made good progress this first day and the fire really took off with all the dead trees. Thanks for watching!...
Brush Mowing A New House Lot

Brush mowing a new house lot. This is a 3 acre lot where I used the Diamond mower to cut down the under brush and small trees so the homeowners could walk through and pick out the trees they would like to keep. I'll be back with the 2150 to start removing and burning the unwanted trees. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #DiamondMower
Grading The Circle Driveway

Grading the circle driveway. I brought the TL12 today to grade the driveway and yard around the house. I finished cutting down the hill and started shaping it back. I also regraded the west side of the property to get the water to drain around the driveway. Lastly I spread the base rock I saved on the part of the driveway so the other trades don't have to park in the mud. I'll be back in a coup...
Cutting Down A Circle Driveway

Cutting down a circle driveway. Back at the big slab house and the homeowners want to lower the grade of the circle driveway to save on having to put a retaining wall along the edge of it. I cut the grade down almost 2' to change the angle of the drive. I was able to get a couple of trucks to start hauling off the spoils. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #cuttinggrade
Cleaning Up More Downed Trees

Cleaning up more downed trees. I'm working at my parents house now where they lost 30 plus trees from the F1 tornado a week ago. They had several blocking their driveway and a ton down in the yard. They didn't have damage to the house which is good just lots of trees. We put a small dent in the mess this day and got most of the trees around the house picked up. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthw...

Storm Cleanup From A Small Tornado

Storm cleanup from a small tornado. We had an EF1 tornado come through part of town last week, it mostly uprooted trees and took off a few roofs. It blew through in about 10 minutes and was a pretty narrow path. It missed my house by 6 blocks but went over my parents and sister's house. They were but lost a lot of trees and didn't have power for several days. The day we were cleaning up this ya...

Hauling more dirt and unloading stone for the house. Back over at the Kansas job loading and hauling more dirt with the Hydrema. I've moved a total of 365 loads on this job and just about have all the dirt moved. They delivered the first load of stone this past week too I unloaded with the Kubota. We got a few inches of rain the end of last week so it will need to dry out before I can get back ...

Replacing a failing sewer line. This line had several tree roots through the pipe causing it to back up in the house. They had it roto rootered out but the damage was already done from the roots. I followed it all the way to the sewer main and replaced all the pipe with new sch 40 pvc. Then backfilled the entire area with clean rock then tried my hand at the asphalt repair. I had to use to cold...

I'm just starting out in the excavation business. Any advice on expected daily production with digging electric service trench through rocky ground? Hourly/daily charge rate? Tb180fr
Rewatched, one of my favorites!
Rewatched! The more i look at rhis one, the more impressed i am, instead fhe skid steer you used an excavator to do the grading...
Rewatched! Had to get me some Elite in for the day! I always need to see some grading each day .. liked, viewed, shared and subscribed!
Im always impressed with the big projects you get into with that 2150...it really starting to take shape now! I think you desrve at least 100k subs.💯 thanks for sharing👍
Great job 👍🏻
LOL...not being disrespectful but I would have built that house on a crawlspace and never cut one cuyd of dirt out. I would have cut the footings to the frost line/stable soil, laid concrete block wall for foundation and put the wood on it. The floor elevation would have been about 16" above the "to be built finish grade" at the front of the house and saved a lot of money. But like the old saying goes, "different strokes for different folks" and it made your bank account much healthier. 😏 The work you did looks very nice! Thanks for the video.
I think he knows more than you😠
@@Dirt_mountain-earthworks…I’m sure he does. Money was obviously not a factor. If the customer wants to spend it, do the work and everyone is happy.
Nice job!!
Looking good! I know that cost is always a factor, but do you know why most of the jobs that you have had are either for a slab or a crawlspace rather than a full basement? Is it the rocky soil? I would venture to guess that it is fairly rare here in KC not to put in a full basement.
I hope you had a great vacation... looks like you made good progress diggin out the crawlspace... its always impressive to see how much you can get done... thanks for sharing👍
Liked, Viewed, Shared, Subscribed... The GOAT is back at it. I love when you share your plan and or strategy, then the execution is the BEST. I keep hearing your channel mentioned!
Thanks man I appreciate that!
Thank you for the good video
Appreciate you watching
That's a HUGE footprint! You took it into high gear here and it's really taking shape. Thanks, as always, for letting us be part of your day.
Yes it is it’s a massive house. Thank you! Appreciate you guys watching
That’s a lot of different elevations for a house. In my area everything is slab foundations. That’s an art to me watching you cut the different elevations and making them tie in. Great job Brandon. Thanks for the letting us watch the progress.
A lot of people build slab houses but all these great big houses seem to do crawlspaces or basements. You have to take your time and make sure you are cutting the right areas out lol! Thanks again for watching
Y'all must have had some rain in the recent past. It didn't seem terribly dusty in the video. We haven't had a measurable amount in 3 or 4 weeks. The ground here is as hard as an anvil. The music was cool in the first time lapse, sounded sorta like Breaking Benjamin.
We got an inch of rain yesterday morning and that is the first significant rain in several weeks. We went from all that rain to bone dry and 95 been a little rough. I thought it sounded like breaking Benjamin too 😁
Great job 👍🏻
Thank you!
@@eliteearthworksllc no problem 😌
Looking good 👍🏻🇺🇲
Thank you!
You removed a lot of dirt on this project,I was not expecting to have to remove that much dirt,but again.that is a big floor plan your working on great video.keep doing your thing 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Yeah it’s a ton of material. Appreciate you watching
Man those folks have there own gravel pit and don't even know it.
Yeah they do 🤣
I see you are whipping it into shape. That material you're digging looks a lot like what Mike at Dirt Perfect calls chert. They use it for road base material which I have seen it used for before. I think there are several gravel/clay mixes people call chert which they all use as road base material. What do you call that material? If it's valuable you are sitting on a fortune of it. Keep up the good work and I'm glad that vacation didn't ruin you when you got back for the next week or two.
That’s pretty much what it is. Most people call it rocky clay here some call it chert. It does make a good base definitely won’t settle. Thanks again for watching
Casually strolls in late …… 😎🇺🇸
🤣🤣
And just like that you said it
How is your dad have not seen him on your vides in a bit
He’s been busy on his own jobs but we’ll be back working together soon.
It’s kind a like playing Tetris with concrete walls! Except… you have fit them in where their shape fills the landscape. When you were spreading with the dozer I could watch the moisture evaporate from the soil. By the time you backed up and spread the next layer, the previous one had already lightened up remarkably. Typical summer day in the Ozarks! Glad you got to take a little vacation. We’re heading to Florida Monday night. I’ll call you you and see if we can work something out on the logs.
That’s for sure! lol yeah it’s bone dry now after all that rain. Have a good trip and that sounds good I’ll be back over there in a few weeks to backfill some we can get the logs then
@@eliteearthworksllc that works for me
Dam !!! Need a golf cart to get around the inside of the house 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s a fact 🤣
Glad to see you decided to come back from vacation. This project has started out really smooth and well laid out so far. You may have to do a little more hand holding as you go along.
I was ready to get back. I enjoy working more than vacation 🤣
I am blown away at your skill. You make it look so easy. Not just the machine operation, but your understanding of what needs to be done even though the owner does not really understand the full scope of what is the best way to get the job done. That's my opinion and maybe I'm wrong about the homeowner.
Well thank you I really appreciate that! I definitely feel like there is an order or system in the way things need done. Appreciate you watching and commenting
Glad to hear you had a good vacation! Stay safe and cool in this heat.
Thank you! It’s definitely summer now
Construction simulator 2024 in life this is true
lol yes it is
Nice progress!
Thank you!
Looking good! 👍 I wish that I had a 5 car garage. I’ve got a 3 car garage that is so full of stuff that it is hard to get 3 cars into. 😢
Thanks! Yeah that happens lol
Very nice work!
Thank you!
@@eliteearthworksllc You are very welcome!
Great to see you back. Your channel is one of the best.
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
Floating grade in a skid steer (also known as float mode) is an advanced technique learned from lots of 'seat time' in the machine. Thank you for the Master Class.
Thank you! I use the float every now then
@@eliteearthworksllc Probably just regional differences and distinctions in vocabulary; but, in my area (northern Utah) floating grade or 'float mode' means using a skid steer's bucket to grade an area by dragging it in reverse while it's resting on the ground. The bucket's weight and flat edge help to fill in low spots and lower high spots, creating a final grade that matches the level of existing fixtures.
Bunch of money to be crawling…. Keep getting that money💪
That’s for sure!
With 8 or 9ft concrete walls, may as well have a BASEMENT (unless ?) Our town would NEVER allow a 5 car garage on ONE site nor any 10ft doors - they smell COMMERCIAL and homes go low 500K to well over a million. Lots of *DECISIONS & PLANNING* especially on this one but you'll get it done! No one did your work in your absence - *SO*
Yeah they should just put a basement in. This is going to be a $2.5 million dollar most of the houses in this subdivision have 5-6 car garages. It’s crazy lol
So I guess the builder isn’t going with your suggestion? Too complicated for me to understand but I love watching you create the space. Thanks for cleaning the window too. 😊
He is now we are building it like the homeowner wants. It will make more sense in the next video. Thank you! You’re welcome on the glass too 😁
Long time, no see. That is a humongous house. I'd like to see the finished product when it's done.
Hey buddy! Yeah it’s going to be quite the place
Good to see you back and all fired up - and first thing you know, nobody knows what's what so you have to go into guessing game routine. But at least you got brought up to date and got things squared away pretty good. BTW, we always enjoy listening to your thoughts on the job - it helps us understand what will be happening. I still can't get over the difference in height of the lot from one end to the other. Lots of dirt movin', for sure.
Thank you! Yeah they are all on the same page now. Thanks I try to get you main viewers informed of what’s going on. Appreciate you watching
Great job buddy 👍🏻 welcome back from vacation hope you enjoyed it love how you said huge mess
Thank you! We did!
@@eliteearthworksllc no problem 😌
Welcome back from vacation Brandon. Hope y’all had a good time. Even when you’re “ruffing in”, your jobs always look neat, clean and organized. Keep up the great work. Thanks for the video.
Thank you! Glad to be back. Appreciate you watching
Nice 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Thank you!
Nice work Brandon, you make that Komatsu blade look like it’s floating across the top of the dirt! Glad you get everybody together to come up with one plan…smart man!!
Thank you! I appreciate that!!
Big Pimp’n Dually with the black wheels is lookin nice in the background 😎
😁 love that truck
What, Elite Earthworks posted a video…..better watch 👍🇺🇸
🤣 been gone for a bit
Off to a good start Brandon. Take care and have a blessed and safe day and try to stay cool
Thank you! Appreciate you watching
The garage is bigger than my whole house! I remember before you had the dozer you were wondering how much you would uses ut but it looks like you have made it worth keeping for those grading jobs. At least you always have work to do!
Yeah it’s huge! Yeah I couldn’t imagine going to bank to not having the dozer now. I’d never make it 🤣
Welcome Back from vacation! Much deserved, I am ready for new content and videos! The BEST is back at again
Thanks man! Good to be back!
No matter what you do, someone will complain about it. You do what you have time to do. You make good videos, keep up the good work. 😊
That’s a fact lol! Thank you I appreciate that!
When you say it needed a 10' radius entrance, Where is that radius from? Im imagining a point, 10' down the ditch past the pipe excluding the 3:1 pipe slope or 10' past the driveways width on each side?
It’s 10’ past the driveway width out where it meets the street
