    I guess that’s what you call “job security “. I guess you can change your mind when monies no object.
    Great job Brandon. Thanks for sharing with us.

    Nice work, that rock sure does look a bit aggravating, especially around those pipes!! If the new neighbor is gong to have that circle driveway removed, hopefully they are talking to you about doing it since you are already working on that property. What a driveway there, don't think I would want all those "depressions" in it personally. Good idea staying off it with the equipment, hooking up that ripper there..... bit of a pucker factor.....but that is just probably me. Interested to see the rest of their decisions, have a good one!!👍

      Thank you! Yeah they already asked me about tearing it out when it’s time. I agree I wouldn’t want that type of driveway either. To each his own I guess. Appreciate you watching

    Looks like you'll need to call Demolition Dave from down in Oz. He'll get that rock loosened up on in a jiffy.😂😂😂😂

    Holy moly! That is a nightmare. I've always wondered what a $250k driveway looks like, now I know. Lol

    When we work on new pavers ,conc. finish floors etc. we put diapers on our equipment. We do a lot of work in malls and food plants . The mandate all equipment has diapers on them. Google Drip Diaper I'm shure you could find something that works for you. There like a big Pig mat that gets bungeed under the machine so if you blow a hose or have a leak it doesn't stain the floor.🍻

      I think it’s only 6” thick but lots of steel I guess

    I spotted their old house next door for sale on Zillow ($2.2M), 99 pictures, it has alot of the same
    features just 2000 sq ft larger, so, yeah...downsizing to 5500 sq ft, a bit cramped hahaha.

    • @eliteearthworksllc
      @eliteearthworksllc  2 місяці тому

      Oh wow they knocked it down a million lol! Yeah it’s an interesting house. It’s a Frank Lloyd Wright style house so it’s very different in my opinion.

  • @arkansas1336

    If that driveway had been a spec job of a highway project it could have easlily been $250,000....been there seen that! Of course I'm guessing about it's size!
    I was the successful/lowest bidder for a total highway project. The Highway Dept. didn't like my unit price of that paticular pay item (the driveway) but they had to pay it.

    • @eliteearthworksllc
      @eliteearthworksllc  2 місяці тому +1

      I think with the mix and amount of steel in it plus the finish on it it easily added up to that amount. Got to make it worth your worth for sure

    250,000 for a driveway. They obviously have deep pockets 🙄. Awesome job as always

    • @eliteearthworksllc
      @eliteearthworksllc  2 місяці тому +1

      They do but it still seems dumb to me 🤣 it doesn’t look much different than a normal drive

    I have so many thoughts on this one. First of all, I didn't know that in your area they line the driveways with Platinum, but you learn something new every day... Now, I have to say digging that ditch looked SO painful. Did you have to go see your dentist afterwards - or maybe I should have said kidney doctor? So if you just had a dollar for every piece of advice that was ignored, you could probably retire, is my guess.

    • @eliteearthworksllc
      @eliteearthworksllc  2 місяці тому +1

      lol yeah i was surprised on the driveway too. Sad part is it doesn’t look like anything special 🤣 my kidneys definitely were a little sore.

    If that driveway cost $250K, I would have loved to be that guy. And next to them I'd like a peek at the "Landscape Architect's" bill and get a cut of that. I hope you go through a box of No. 2 pencils coming with a bill for yourself because these people seem to be willing and able to part with their fortune. It never ceases to amaze me what people do today trying to outdo each other. The worst part is they have to tell what everything cost because just looking at it you can't see dollar figure they spent. It's nice but there's a limit to that. You better leave that new microphone at home or else UA-cam will be on you for awful language while you finish this job up. Looks like you found quite a few "artifacts" in that trench. Do they make a 4" bucket that's not called a shovel?

    • @eliteearthworksllc
      @eliteearthworksllc  2 місяці тому +1

      I totally agree it doesn’t look any different to me than a normal driveway. I can only imagine the landscape architect bill too. This whole projects blows my mind on what they don’t mind spending money on and what they do. No kidding it was not a fun digging day lol
