🤣 that’s how I felt at first but quickly changed my mind

The inserts that the company gives me are the same length as the post. I do personally recommend driving them if your ground is soft enough to do so

If he thinks the post hole diggers are too heavy imagine if I handed him an auger. We do have augers but some guys choose the post hole diggers because the auger is too heavy 🤷‍♂️

@@FenceForFlorida get it how you live I suppose

I'll take a pair of these and a spud bar over a 2 man auger in any yard that's NOT sand. You're going to hit one tiny little root and be on the long walk back to the truck for the pipe wrench 😂

I have to say the little beaver auger eats everything but it’s like $4-5k

Whaaaat! 😂

He's not too short, he's actually too close to the work for his personal comfort.

@@FenceForFlorida thank you

That’s awesome! I’ll be anticipating those videos

A high tooth count blade or just flip the blade to cut backwards. Puts a little more load on the saw but will cut without shattering the vinyl. Some additional info: Vinyl shatters easier in colder weather. The faster the saw the less chance for the vinyl to shatter with use of any blade. I use a wood blade on my Milwaukee fuel on every material and it cuts fine. I say this because on my non fuel Milwaukee, it needed a full battery to cut fast enough with any blade.

Our company does a sag style. You can do it either way. I’ve done it this way for 8 years and that’s how all 6 companies that I’ve worked with do it and I have 0 problems out of my gates. The engineers may have designed it to go top of latch to the bottom of hinge But I find it works better To hold the weight at the latch rather than trying to push the weight

I use a 8ft aluminum insert inside the post as seen in the video. 6:23 if that’s not what you were asking, You may need to clarify to help me understand.

@@FenceForFlorida th for your reply. Yes I’m referring to vinyl fencing. Forgive me but I didn’t see the insert portion but yes the I purchase a mounting tower kit from Amazon to fix to concrete and then install the vinyl post cover. I wanted to know if it was a good idea to insert a 4x4 in additional to this insert I purchased from amazon would be sufficient for installing a vinyl gate onto once affixed to my concrete border.

The benefit to adding stuff inside of the post is help hold the screws from pulling out and to help the vinyl post from flexing. Your steel inserts should be great but try to make sure it reaches all your screws or at least 75% up to the top of the post for the flex. Also, You will probably need a handful of drill bit to go through that steel

I did the same thing yesterday at my brother's house. Converted his 4x6 Vinyl fence into a gate. I did put a 4x4 piece of Woodson each post. Tried it without the wood at first and it did not feel well secured.

@@fajardoju90thanks so much for the advice. I’m actually gathering all the parts and the steel inserts I’m using as a posts. I actually asked Home Depot today about if they had 4x4 vinyl fence posts as opposed to the 5x5 they have & they didn’t know anything. Therefore I appreciate your reply. My side area is 8foot wide and I want to make a 6 ft gate w a 4x6 vinyl gate. Hope it all comes out ok. Which gate kit do you recommend if any? I may have to order online.

I’ve been doing this for eight years and saying that every single fence company in the entire state of Florida is just rookie and lazy is just wild.

Didn’t think anyone would guess

Probably went straight to voicemail

How do they know you won’t hit anything??

😂

@@SoSo-c5b I work for a major natural gas pipeline. We send out line locators with special tools to detect our pipelines. We have to respond to any request for location (811 call) within 24 hours and mark not only our pipelines, but also the safe digging boundary

It’s 811 here and I asked if I did anything wrong when they were done fixing the line and they said no. This is purly on locate. We called for a locate and they made a mistake. The job still gets done. If I did anything wrong we could’ve been hit with anywhere from 5-10k fine but we did NOTHING wrong here. Stuff happens.

She would definitely let me blow up

It’s like finding buried treasure

🤣

He did, they just didn't mark it...did you not watch the damn video ?

He did

​@@TheDirtyNorth907 exactly

A light digger lol. Compared to a lot of guys I’m very careful with my digging to try to prevent this. It’s been years since I’ve broken a line that was proper depth and installed to code. Ps I didn’t break this line, it was one of the hands on the job

I’ve seen worse leaks than this but for some reason this one really spread the gas out. You could smell it everywhere. Actual started to get a little dizzy.

Anywhere from 5-10k 💰

Yep you call and then you hand dog down to the line to show you are being careful. If you hit it then it’s not as big a deal legally. He’s lucky it’s that type of line, some places used some shit that turns as brown as tree roots.

Yeah the marks for the other utilities shows that he did locate simply didn't do their fucking job

He did. They missed it. Something they do a lot of the time.

Vanishing comments. 💩 on ytube

He did call. He said it, and you can clearly see where they marked some stuff. Even when they mark, you can't trust it 100% and you don't know how deep it is.

@@Justaguynamedsue yes. It was strange that all the marks were out side of the area he was digging. He should of known something was not right. Not one mark by his work area=something isn't right 🙃

Turns out the locater marked everything for neighbor instead of our customers so they are putting the blame on locate this time around

Got lucky. That was the first one is 7 years that we hit. over 700 fences

Yeah 811 made the error on this one so they said they are taking the blame

The worst kind of digger. My favorite race though Is Talladega in FL

No, but you're getting warm.

The dust or the cuts? We throw them away but hoping to make a connection where we could recycle and make our own material. I’ve works with companies that do the same.

@@FenceForFlorida yeah, all the dust and little plastic debris from the cuts. I’m doing some research on a vinyl DIY fence for my property and was just curious about that.

I was using a shovel… The locate only located at the street… the pvc was thin wall, So it immediately cracked… The actual professional plumber that came out literally said that this was not my fault at all. It was done completely wrong and in a completely wrong spot... This pvc could be 40 years old for all I know. I love people who say they know what they are talking about, don’t and leave a comment for my benefit. Don’t care? This completely haulted my day. I fix any break that I can. This fix required a solder and I do fence so I didn’t have that. It states in our contract that we are not responsible for unmarked private utilities yet I still try.

This justifies the disrespect towards my crew?

A locator did come and they only located city utilities. In our contract, it states that they are responsible for locating any private utilities before we come out to install the fence. Water is only located at the street. Past the meter is considered private. Even the plumber that came to fix it backed me up. It was not in a normal location even for being built in the 80’s. I’ve been doing this for 8 years. I think I know what is normal and what is not.

Some people say not to chip away the overpour but I do it if it’s less the foot thick. If it’s thicker or there is something in the way like a utility line, I will just attach the post to the house. For extra security, You could also silicone the screws that are going into your house to help prevent water from getting in. As for concreting next to your foundation, normally old and new concrete will sort of stay separate from each other. It will attach to the old concrete (your foundation), but it is easier to chip off. I see no harm to your house when putting concrete up against the foundation.

@@FenceForFlorida thanks!

Yeah I’ve seen to many of those people

@@FenceForFlorida same here bro. Sometimes I call em out while on site. Been at it for 21 years and just have very little patience for stuff like that anymore

🤣 thats why I paused before I kept digging
