Installing culvert pipe and putting wings on a driveway
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2019
- Home owner wanted a wider driveway entrance to avoid dropping into the drainage ditch, so I stabbed on some culvert pipe and winged it out with some 2A limestone. Easy job in and out!

You did a great job.Considuring maintaining the integrity of the area and not making a mess
Matt, you need to start wearing ear protection for your hearing. I never did and now I'm in my 70s and have two hearing aids. Sure wish somebody would had told me when I was your age. Your around a lot of noise, protect your hearing!!
2021 the entire world including matt knows this
@@skycowboy_7391 nobody needs your toxic comments.
Keep those for yourself.
@Bobby Mohn, it’s always good to hear someone’s advice based on life experience.
Thanks for sharing, it’s more convincing than just reading in the safety notes, which is everybody skip’s anyway.
@@TheAndresun opinions are like assholes everyone has one and they all smell remember that. Sorry didn’t mean to upset you ya butt pirate
June 5, 2021, binge-watching Diesel Creek. It's going to be a good day.
wonders why he’s still a virgin at 53 🤣🤣
@@skycowboy_7391 Just as I thought, your stupidy is showing.
I really liked this one. I am disabled & I had a neighbor that took me on a few jobs like this when I was growing up.
Awesome, I learn so much watching your videos! And you do such a credible job of teaching. Your Dad must be VERY PROUD
I hope you cleaned the soil along the road and drive that you've miss with the bucket. Got to keep your jobs for clients neat and tidy, no sloppy work now you're Famous 😵💫
All driveways should be designed like this, as well as roads. It just makes everything easier instead of 90 degree corners most road builders do.
Amen!
I installed culvers for the country we would bed the pipe with the dirt that we dug out & cover with 6" of base,, Great Job, are an operator!!
Having originally lived back in western PA (east of pittsburgh by 2 hrs vs west of it), It is always nice to see the travel time pics :) That is much more fun to watch than any of the roads out here in california are to drive on.
Sir you are an artiste ( my fancy way of saying more than an artist) with that with these machines👏👏👏👏👏
Good job clipping the post with the bucket & burring the cut off bits of old pipe in the gravel. Over all a good job 👍
Hi Mr diesel creek. I am already a fan of your chanel ...you dare to do thing in a nice but safe way...you remind me when i watch y our videos to Andrew camera the New York legend.
I hope you give your bobcat nice paint job looks so rusty .I am sure will be one of your future interesting projects...
I’d like to when time permits, Andrew does his stuff full time I can only do mine when I’m not working I’d like to get to a point where I don’t have to have a real job but we’ll see, thanks for watching!! merry Christmas!
Just started watching your channel today. Thank you for taking the time to video and upload them. I’ve been in the landscaping industry for 35 years and love watching other guys doing what I’ve done and still love doing it.
You might want to look into a Rezloh blade for your bucket. They bolt on and I think once you use it you will love it.They take the stress off your machine when digging with the straight bucket and it’s so use to strip grass. They are also designed to use for final clean up on asphalt or concrete so you don’t have to Carry two different buckets with you to jobs. They are a bit pricey but in my opinion,worth it.
Keep up the good work and be safe.👍
I’ll check that out! Thanks for watching!!
Good job, Feeds the diesel tank, I like you camera angle with the shots of the highway behind ya when traveling ... nice touch
Thanks I try to switch it up and do stuff not everyone is doing!
Great job Matt 👍
Good job, Good work ethic!
Nice job, Matt.
Nice operating mate, easy on the machine.
Take care of your equipment it will take care of you
Nice work.
Looks pretty good for a Rookie You will get better as you go....
Wow, Matt- that really turned out nice.
you should see what it looks like with two eyes way better
I need to do something like this to my driveway, too. Add culvert on both sides & add fill so my Hovercraft trailers & old Detroit Diesel MCI Coach can make it in easier!!
Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know a way to get back into an instagram account?
I was stupid lost my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!

Safety gear Dude, nice vid but stay safe and thank you for sharing...
Thanks for watching!
I've noticed others commenting about calling 811 for utility locates. Don't use "i'm just skimming" as an excuse. I've worked in telco and some of those guys are idiots and lazy. I work for the county road dept now and we are always cutting cables when we do ditching projects like this because the teclo contractors decided to run their cables in our ditches. Remember a drop is supposed to be buried 8"-12" but can be more shallow than that. I cut through a drop with a shoulder mower because the telco crew decided to just lay the cable in our ditch instead of burying it. By the time I came through with the shoulder mower, the ditch was overgrown and couldn't see the cable. Always call 811.
If you got it with a mower that's on them you shouldn't have to dial before you mow and the house feed comes out the back and the main should be 36 inches for copper and 42 for fiber and never in the bottom of a ditch and have caution tape halfway between the top of the ground and the cable and a good operator can see the plow trench after skimming the grass off I'm sure it ran on the property side of the ditch
Sometimes hauling some 3/4 plywood (Ext grade) and laying on the road will get u out of a pinch when using steel tracks. Moves a bit but 3 or 4 do the trick!
Awesome let me know if you get one
The nice little town you live in a beautiful area for sure what might it be called?
Call before you dig. Around here, it's called "Digsafe". If you had cut a wire, it would have been on you or the homeowner. If they come out and mark where the utilities are, it's on them. But then again, live life on the edge.
I didn’t cut more than 6-8 inches deep. Also all the utilities in that area are accounted for. So no need to call. I do regularly call when I plan on actually digging deeper! thanks for watching!!!
I’ve seen phone lines that were less than 6”. Most of those guys care more about getting the job done as quickly as possible, and they’ll cut whatever corners they can to get done and move to the next job.
This remined me of a story, here culverts and such are the governments responsibility as they own everything from the centerline 32 feet in. They charge for putting new ones in but existing ones are cleaned and maintained by government road crews. I drove single axel dump for 9 year on contract with the DOT in a privately owned truck for two different owners. Since these were contracts on with the government every time a new government came in they would often award the contracts to party faithful. So during that first year you would get some interesting newbies who took a while to learn the tricks. So one day we were putting a new culvert in for access for a field, all the ground work was put in and the two sections were put in place and joined the head guy motions for the dump truck guy to back up and tells him do dump a little to you can brace the culvert in place so it doesn't move when covering it. Well Mr newbie didn't understand or hear so he backs over the culvert and proceeds to dump the entire load. It hit the front side of the culvert then shot it right up out of the ditch into the field which was on a grade and had just had the hay cut that week. The momentum kept it rolling for about 200 feet until it hit a bale of hay. The entire thing took about 30 seconds to play out and everyone laughed their asses off but two people. Bet everyone can guess who. They both learned an important lesson that day... This was before cell phones of course. Anyone else got a good story. Remember traffic on these videos helps uploaders get paid.
and the good old garden rake comes in handy to finish. Great video bro. Stay safe
You got that right!
What was the bill for this job? Been running a SA dump for many years and just got a skid steer. Trying to get a feel for what to charge. Did this take the whole day?
Thinking of having my driveway done the same what is the going rate for this kind of work to be done
👍👍👍
You need to buckle up, it saves lives.
That looks like a state DOT job. Hahaha..
Just a helpful hint always call in a miss utility ticket before digging, it could save a life!
I do on anything I really plan on digging on, I was just skimming sediment out of the bar ditch no more than 6-8 inches. Also there aren’t any Buried lines except the phone in this area
Diesel Creek as I work for a phone company, in Ohio it is a law to call before you dig, I know your only went 6-8” but that cable could be just that deep due to erosion or previous skimming. Plus it can cost upwards of 500-1500 or more if you hit and cut the cable and hope you don’t get sued if someone tried to call 911 and they don’t make it. Good video otherwise
Cell phones ....
@@pd9717
Not if a lawsuit/MONEY is involved!
Besides, if you hit that Telco line- (the pedestal was RIGHT THERE !)-
The phone co. is going to dig - and NOT really care about your nice work!
I chased 'open' tel. wires/cables for 28+ years!
YOU damage 'my' cable, MY job was to find it and fix it -
Regardless of how pretty the surface was!
MARK-OUTS and SAFETY EQUIPMENT!!!
@@GMan-yv8cb if your line is less than 8 inches especially crossing a ditch you're to shallow our main copper cables had to be 36 inches minimum and house feeds 18 fiber had to be 46 minimum and when you skim the grass off you can see the trench where the line wasplowed in and it's not a law in every state just a good idea if you're taking more than a couple inches off
What year is the dump truck? How’s she working out for you?
I hope you utilize 811 as high pressure petroleum pipeline operator I have seen a lot of utilities torn up by cowboys...i never see any utility marks on your digs...move dirt...811 its the law
This is exactly why I came to the comment section. I retired from AT&T and cannot tell you how many times over my career I have billed people doing exactly this and causing utility damage, sometimes to the tune of 100s of thousands of dollars (and that is not an exaggeration). It is simply not worth the cost to you to avoid calling for locates. It does not matter where on any property the excavation os occurring; always call it in.
Half the locators I've dealt with have no idea where their stuff is I locate the phone line myself and a job like that it's all you have to worry about
What do you put at the end of the pipe? Large rock or gravel? Or just a ditch. If so, does the dirt go into the pipe and is that a problem?
Is your Bobcat like mine in that no matter how many hydraulic hoses you replace it always has a leak?
Actually mines been fairly dry. Some cylinders just started leaking but I’ve only ever replaced 2 lines knock on wood
I wonder if your mini excavator might be more effective on this job?
👍
🤣😂 I get my stone at the same quarry.
Mini Excavator 3-4 to might be useful there.
Dude, where's your hearing protection!?
With all tools at your disposal you could do anything
This job would've been easier with your metal tracks off the skid steer, but I know it's a pain to take them off and put them on again.
You are right on both counts
Nord-Stream-Pipeline 3🇺🇸🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
It wasn't so bad hauling equipment around everywhere before fuel was 5.50 a gallon for diesel lol.
Does that truck even have a seatbelt?
Are you sure you're not Portuguese? As a Portuguese i tell you, my cousins and I and Friends took a whole wedding party to McDonald's cuz dinner was a long time off. 😁 i understand the need to fill the Gut.
What are the specifics on the new dump truck and how many tons of gravel/crusher run can you haul with it?
Legally I can haul 9.3 tons but I can fit 10 to 10-1/2 tons. There’s a playlist of 3 videos on my channel showing the build process... I go over all the specs there! Check it out! Thanks for watching!
Diesel Creek i'm assuming when fully loaded with a legal load, ur over the 26,001 pounds? if so do you have a cdl?
NotAFuckinPplPerson absolutely! The gvw is 33,000 so that puts you in a class B but as soon as you connect a trailer then you need Class A... if your gonna get a CDL just always go A
Diesel Creek I’m looking at getting my CDL soon so thanks for the tip
Diesel Creek yes thanks for the tip. thinking of getting my cdl as well.
didn't see you band those pipes together ??
strange builder's mistake thepotentialy dangerous--here in northwest Indiana I once had to pull out of somebodies driveway having the "squared off" condition---the traffic happened to be such that one vehicle after the other was going by from both direction's at a good speed-almost impossible to pull out without getting hit or suddenly blocking the road----no way to see oncoming traffic--the peculiar occasional error in the "greater system"--yes--"-wing's"were needed-I thought the only way out was if I could "fly'---oddly appropriate name of solution-I can't remember if it was before or after I had a job as a pilot car driver escorting 12x60 house trailer's across Illinois-due to Illinois highway system "average design consideration" a specia;l "short truck" mobile home toter was required whenever entering Illinois-they were designed in Indiana where most trailer's wetre built--Elkhart-Nappanee area--the truck had a telescoping frame and was cranked up short before entering Illinois-I did the escorting for 3 year's--including a few large 18 wheel overdimension load's of other sort's---whenever I happened onto that "squeeze" it driveway I can't recall---but I sure did swear after I finally''escaped" in one piece- long and wide--high-load's are even more hellish fun-b7jk9w@toast.net--DOT-please--
You just destroyed the man's marker ?
Looks good! How many hours on the S185?
Around 2900, been a very good machine
Why don't you call 811 a few days before you start work on a project?
I do roadside assistance now. And I need to get some go pro's and start doing this too.. What's the cost & how do they run, off PC or phone or? I need bout three of em. lol
GoPros are good bang for buck, editing is where the work is at
@@DieselCreek Right on
I know in the part of the midwest where I'm at if you dont call in and nick the utility, the utility company throws a shit fit. Looked good though and nice completion on the dump truck.
i do one calls if im really digging, i was just skimming dirt out the ditch here, no danger lines here just the phone for some reason... Thanks for watching!!!
roughly how much did you charge for this job?
You get a chicken feeling
I started coughing when the dust hit the camera...
call-before-you-dig
This channel reminds of Andrew camarata
I’m a big fan of his. I had a channel going 6-7 years ago with different content and he’s what made me get back into it covering the stuff I do now, thanks for watching!

Don't get why you put so much up the pole side would it not have been more benafishel to put it the other side
Hey Matt. Do you ever go to M. Raggens true value?
Nearly every day lol
@@DieselCreek couple of friends of mine work there. Michael witch I think he does the ordering & inventory & all that & chris was a mechanic but retired but he still helps when needed. Do you know anything about the brake system on 84 one ton chevy that works from the power steering? Maybe if you could text me 304 670 1729. Thanks man
@@chrisgrimes8684 Sorry, cant help ya any with the brakes but I know Michael pretty well, Chris I know to see but not sure he knows me.
@@DieselCreek ok. Yea I've known Michael since he was born.
Some yutz is gonna cream that poor utility pole now, sure as shootin'.
If we drove machine up in yard in Florida wouldn't be in business. Do everything from road with Bobcat E85.
I gotta make do with what I got, my excavator is too big for this small a job, one of these days I’ll get a smaller one! Thanks for watching!
@@DieselCreek understand that. New to channel. Merry Christmas
What does a job like this cost? $1,000?
it Illegal to wear Seat-Belté inn murikkas ¿¿¿¿
Seems like the smaller excavator would be easier for this job
What's up
best shirt award at work this mans work shirts are on point 👔 👚 check out the all new diesel creek merch line you can get any color button down shirt you want and wear them to court funerals easter christmas baby shower or to pump a septic tank.......your choice!!
🤣🤣🤣
A lot of comments here, but some other time.
Reinstate the Subscribe sign in the back of the dump truck 👍
Yes I keep meaning to do that!!
never seen andrew check the time on his phone. lol. kidding
Haha thanks for watching!
Your truck a 6.0 or 7.3?
It’s a 6.0 but I like it
Diesel Creek poor thing
NotAFuckinPplPerson been good to me!
Diesel Creek have any of the big issues?
@@FishFind3000 yes and no, i let the batteries get weak and take out my FICM which then messed up a few injectors so that was $1800.... i did the "bulletproof" because my head gasket had a tiny leak, and its been okay, the unison ring in the turbo hung open while i was towing an f700 up a mountain, when i came down the other side it over boosted and blew it... i knew right when It happened so I watched my temps and got it home then had it fixed right away, they can be good trucks if you stay on top of them I didnt do any other damage to the engine because I was paying attention. but if your looking for a good ol reliable run forever on nothing kinda diesel its not for you lol
good content but the volume on the music is far to high
gett some rubber tracks would make you life less complicated
Please turn down the music. it's a pain to have to turn the volume up to here you and down to save my hearing thank you. love your channel and your content
Is this avella pa area I think I have been to that gas station and I seen all those yellow and black pick ups in another one of your videos I used to work for alex
Hi
I test machine operators within one minute you know if they are competent. Adam
Lmfao ya I bet you do....
Where you added the Plastic Culverts, will eventually blow out at the over-laps. They should have had an Mechanical Adapter Clamp to prevent the ditch drainage from washing out gravel at the joints. IT WILL HAPPEN !!
I’ll bet money it doesn’t
Pu, to the camera angle while you were working.
You should Google how they make that stuff at the golden arch... I will never eat that crap again! It's not like the 80s or 90s anymore baby
Someone needs to cut those weeds out of that dish line they wouldn't have that problem
Get repair videos but landscaping isn't yr strong point. Remove all sod for 1 thing. In ma yr not allowed to dig 18 inches by machine near utilities. Dont see dig safe markers.
Put a seatbelt on
somethings gotta kill me lol Thanks for watching!!!
In Australia you might get a start as street sweeper If you held your tongue. Adam
Your small excavator would have done the job even more easier than with the Bobcat.
I agree but that excavator has steel tracks and wouldn’t be worth pulling off another job for something this small also it’s not as small as you’d think, very overkill for this
@@DieselCreek Good thing you used the Bobcat 👍🏻
Was that crushed concrete?
no its 2A limestone, thanks for watching!
There not wings unless it will fly we call them aprons
if it was concrete id call it an apron, gravel I call it wings.... dont ask me why thats just what I was taught lol
How about some new music?
I had some new music in the most recent video
Not a new culvert pipe just. Extended wow what let down......I’m off here!!
What difference would it make?? Lmao
The difference would be in the title. Was under the impression you was taking out an old one and putting in a new one the title is misinforming but there I’ve should’ve taking into consideration on who was making the Hillbilly show!!!
