    When I was a kid, the playground at my elementary school had a bunch of these concrete pipes painted bright colors that we could climb on and hide in. We called them "tunnels." They all had the holes in the top, just like these. After all these decades, I just learned today what those holes are for. Neat.

    So soothing to watch some one use there machine instead of tearing it up. You have the eye for what you are doing. I am retired and disabled now and dad is dead and gone . I remember so fondly working with him and our heavy equipment biz we had for 35 years together. Your videos actually lower my blood pressure. I lived for the adrenaline every day we worked in our hard rock shale pit we drilled and blasted about 5k a year. Use to build lots of driveways out in the mountains to people's home sites and private logging roads to remove the timber. We had a D8 loaders .truck and transfer ,road grader roller and a 40 acre shale pita few sized excavators and a couple hoes clear down to the b20 backhoe I put 9 thousand hours in the seat on the b20 alone. We had a 4 bay shop wit 3 drive through bays. Actually use to rebuild stuff in the slow times the fourth bay was a full machine shop. Had several other old guys that just sat around the shop every day to work on there retirement projects they all shaped in and helped every time they could . Sure learned alot from them guys .

    I started with a company laying drain pipe right out of high school in 1976. My job was to go through the pipes as they were laid and wipe each joint with tar so what happened here would not happen. After 10 years I became a machine operator just like you are now. I'm 60 years old and I love running a Track-hoe best job ever.

    Safe !! I just started watching your videos last night, it was the one where the rental was buried in pond. A cubic yard of dirt can weigh over 3000 pounds. If you don’t know about soil safety, please don’t rent one of these and get yourself or your helper seriously injured from a trench collapse. He’s digging in class C soil, it’s been previously disturbed. You need competent person training before ever using any kind of excavator, or digging with a shovel if more than 4 feet deep.

    In and out in and out, chaining the pipe,,, I thought I was the only one who never had someone to hook up heaps of pipes, good exercise I guess, but at the end of the day very exhausting.

    To do the pipe lifting job with an excavator, you really need to have the touch of a midwife.

    It doesn't matter whether the bell or spigot are facing downstream - water will flow through the pipe if it's installed at the proper pitch. Re-installing the pipe at the same invert elevation accomplishes nothing. And since you're not putting stone bedding under the pipe it's going to settle out and end up back-pitched before too long.

    1 In Australia we use a swivel hook to lift items with a machine 2 Don't use this type of pipe we call it butt joint hard to get a good seal on the plpe we use a proper bell pipe the socket end is about the same thickness as the pipe it self It has a socket depth between 3" to 4" depending on the size of the pipe 3 Most of the pipes are now installed with a nylon sling 4 A bent bar is not a bad way to do the job when your by yourself the bar tends stay were you need it

    I have watched about twenty of your videos this past month in my pajamas in my comfy lounge-chair on my fancy widescreen Android phone.
    I am 57 year old male unemployed with poor health and few job skills
    I often have no earthly idea what you are doing,
    It is like watching a gymnast on the uneven-bars.
    It would be nice if you would tell more about the details of everything
    I plan to go back and watch more of your videos and other UA-camrs about machinery.
    I live in an inner-city ghetto apartment, so there are no "ponds" around here, unless that is a slang code-word for bongs or brothels.

    Thanks for the videos
    I still don't understand which way the water is supposed to flow.
    From the now empty pond and into the pipe?
    Or is the pipe filling the pond?
    Which way are these culverts supposed to be?
    How could someone not know before laying them in?
