My back started to hurt just watching y'all screeding that concrete.
Capt killman on the job and no broken mirrors. Have a great and safe week.
that is because there were no unbroken mirrors on the equipment. ;)
⬆️ the cement truck drivers knew their mirrors where safe. They saw he was in the hole. 😜
Good morning Dirt Perfect let get the show rocking. Watching from Jamaica
Great to see he connects with people all around the world. Watching from Ontario.
Awesome guys
Hawai'i too 👍
@@corycourneyea6802 And a rainy gray boring Sweden too but DP makes it much easier to put up with.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Still love that footer system!!!!!!! Saved by Capt. Kleeman again!!
Lol thanks Toney
Kleeman’s on the job, now the party can begin!!
What a Great crew . Thanks for explaining about the forms y'all used . Another great Dirt Perfect video . And your Best Unpaid helper even brought you a Pepsi . Can't get better than that .
Turned out great, good to see the Captain working with you. Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Iam new around here but iam pretty sure my nephew just like captain! He could break or do about anything he wants cuz he shows up whenever you need him and even when your mad at him ya just have to laugh cuz he so animated. Having a guy like captain around is priceless,keeps you and crew in good spirits and that equals productivity. Lol. See what I did there,bust his nuggets and compliment him in same paragraph.😉. Keep er up captain, DP needs you more than you think. Keep up good content gentlemen. 💪✌
Love to work with a group of guys like you have. It can make the most boring job fun and also the day go faster. Oh nice footers too :-)
Can't imagine why the worker you expected didn't show up. Bet there are a dozen or more of your regular viewers who would love to spend a week of their vaction on a Dirt Perfect experience.
Innovative system to form and drain the footers. Keep teaching us neophytes
The relationship you have with the Captain reminds me of my time working in construction with my best friend. We need to see more of you two working together. You both have great channels, but you are even better together!
Been watching your channel for a while I'm an old 76 year old farmer - - drainage contractor - Township Trustee- workaholic I'm laid up right now can't do much but I love watching your Channel yes I have poured my share of concrete and it's typically work especially if you don't have enough help I put in millions of feet Farm drainage custom work and on my own Farms behind a trencher first and now we do most of it with a drainage plow but ten years ago I bought my first mini excavator and I love it to death I didn't buy one until I should have been retired but I would take that over a boat or a set of golf clubs any day I use it all the time and help the neighbors out with it I got a big brush cutter that I put on it and I can cut off about 4 inch rims in a couple seconds I should be completely retired but I just wish I had more work for my mini excavator cuz that is my plaything I wish I was young enough to be back in the heat of bad one like you but I didn't realize that back then take care
Thanks Jerry glade you enjoy the channel
Been watching your videos on dirt moving, truck fixing, excavator fixing, etc. Was thinking just another good old boy doing good. Then on this one saw for the first time the Form-A Drain stuff, and a disertation on siesmic requirements for stuctures. Appreciate the information, and Merry Christmas.
Thanks appreciate that
Once again you did it, you Sr. Explained what, how and why, nice job again Dirt Perfect.
Nice job and HEY, this RADON stuff is serious. Where I live, don't think about selling your house without having a RADON test done FIRST. THEN any adjustments must be made and tested again. Often time it results in drilling a hole in the concrete floor to expel the gas. Fine but if you're sitting on a high water table, that hole now receives water. Quite the mess and I think hats off to you for bringing it up. Good job cuz it's serious stuff! Good job crew! Sonny (CT)
"A pallet full of mirrors." That cracked me up.
Ya, the look on CK's face about two seconds after DP said that.... Priceless.
Good crew and got er done
Great video. I haven't seen a basement job in about 35 years. No basements here in Hawaii, one hurricane and it would become a pool or water tank. Lol
The last concrete job I was on was a 5 floor parking structure, that was a project. I think it used 2 million cubic feet of concrete in the foundation mono-floor, columns, deck floors, walls, buttresses, structure beams, bridge supports, skyway, and staircase structures. The columns and beams used a multi- layer 3, 4, 5, 7 rebar combination with all post tension cable floor suspension systems with 60,000 psi pulls and triple locking cones. The concrete was a dry slump 15,000 psi something or other specialty mix that had to have 12 core samples per truck batch to monitor consistency throughout the entire project for seismic/ unstable ground requirements. Nothing complicated, just a footing that took 2 and a half years to complete and you could not remove the forms from a section until the cores were cured 28 days then tested 14 days later and finally certified. Of course each section took about 2 week longer than certification, so once the first sections were certified things moved right along, except one section that had cable failure and had to be redone. I learned a lot on that job, wow.
Captain comes to the rescue, Nice save Cap !
There was a time when it was difficult to find people to do good work. Now it's difficult to find people to show up.
Sad and very true
How can someone contact you about helping on a job site?
I like the details on how the different components work. Thanks guys and Merry Christmas.
I like that footing set up . No dirty form boards 👍
Thanks
doing a great job, all the while having a great time doing a JOB. Love watching someone else do concrete work, I always hated to do it. Love your channel and all the people that appear. Keep up the good work. OH and a Merry Christmas to you all.
Must be great working with that Chris guy. Dude has an awesome personality.
Good Job, properly installed basement makes a great space.
Looks like hard work. I was so happy to see The Captain with his big smile , I dont know what you would do without him :-)
Lol and a pallet full of mirrors. Too funny 😂
Hard work demands laughter and a good time. Nice job on the footers. That’s a big basement
Bruce from Mason Michigan
Perfect concrete pour!!! Another fun video!!!
Quality work and fun added in for good measure......can't beat that :-))
Nice Job
Thanks
This looks easy. Just straight edges
and almost no corners. A dream job.
Lol
Definitely got to do what it takes to get the job done and collect the $$$ . Good video with excellent job description!
formadrain is pretty slick
Yes it is
Nice of capt to show up
Love those Form-A-Drain beams for the footers, if I can ever afford it, those will definitely be used on my home along with ICF for the basement/first floor (depending on where the build is LOL)!
Must have missed this one good job on the basement slot of corners on this house
Great team work.
You guys do nice work and have fun.
Thanks
That beat wood forms and drain tile for sure.
Yes sir
Lots of corners. Good video.
Thanks buddy
Can't imagine why the worker you expected didn't show up. Bet there are a dozen or more of your regular viewers who would love to spend a week of their vaction on a Dirt Perfect experience.

watch one other youtuber ,reviewing some Buckets ..ua-cam.com/video/hISrZt-wzBo/v-deo.html
That's a day of grafting looks good 👍
Man Captains face when u said my fav employee then hit him with the mirrors. That was Hilarious.
Those form-a-drain are the cat’s meow! No perforated pipe afterwards, don’t have to remove them, lug around form boards, allows for radon to be vented etc. Gosh, wish that I would have known about them 30 years ago! A bargain at twice the price!
Cutting edge technology brought to you by Mr DP and it’s free.
Like the looks of that form-a-drain. Radon is radioactive, which is why it is a problem if not vented properly, it can cause an increase in cancer. Enjoyed this build.
Food for thought. Years ago we furnish concrete for a couple bothers. When they pure the footing they would turn a 2 x 4 on it edge and put a V in the center of the footing that where they stuck the vertical Re bar in the center of the V. I ask what this was for? He said that this help block water from entering into the house basement floor. Just thought you would be interesting in some old ways of doing footing and walls..
Or floor goes on top of the footer
Good video again The basement is looking good my friend that is going to be a big house but what do you expect dirt perfect on the job always going to be good work Y’all must not have a water problem there if you Doug a hole like That at my house it would already have a bunch of water in it Captain it’s always funny to watch tell him what’s up y’all be safe
The basement is on the top of a hill. The drains will slope out of the side of the hill. Any water will naturally drain away.
Awesome work DP
Thanks
I love the music 🎶
Thanks
At least you’ve got Mr Millennial and Kleeman showed up free of charge for part of the day haha. I’m about a week or so from finished for the year landscaping, wouldn’t be a far drive to Derby for some winter work for me. You guys remind me of the landscaper I used to work for before going out on my own, that was a joking, fun bunch to work with.
Lol yup kinda
You should get a go pro mount for your hat or like a chest mount so we could watch you work with both hands!
I love seeing the concrete work!
Thanks 👍
Awesome Job!!
Thanks
The elephant trunk we call a Tremie pipe and the filler rock you mention we call a regulating course. Looking good!!
👍
Interesting to see how things are so different in different parts of the country. Down here you'd spend a couple days clearing and building up a pad for the foundation to set on, build your forms out and then wait three years for the county to show up to do an inspection before you could pour the foundation.
Looking good Mike. At least Kleeman showed up and even brought you a Pepsi. Take care and MERRY CHRISTMAS
Thanks billy
..good one, stay safe and have a great Christmas..
tilt grading bucket on our Yanmar would be my weapon of choice for smoothin out the bottom
Nothing wrong with getting free concrete.
We got 37 yds one day that we were not quite ready for.
But everyone kicked it in and made it happen.
Form-a-drain is great stuff.
Lol it was not free at all 😳🙄
Mr. Mileniel. The man behind the beard.
Lol
Nice work. No one uses that system around my area I suggest it to contractors all the time.
Nice concrete project. From canada my friends :)
Thanks
Take you any day as a basement/crawlspace contractor take a drain to daylight! I know or hope the form a drain isn't tied to the sump or floor drain of/for the basement and it goes to daylight as well. My contractor said no sump just a P trap drain said yes I will take responsibility for any issues and a sump just another place for the boys to pee in we won't go into that discussion. Back filled system entirely with pea stone 2 outer perimeter tile ,1 inner ,basement floor P drain and 2 floor garage drains all schedule 35 to daylight with rat traps on the ends since Nov 98 no issues ever with water to date none expected. Good work guys shows you care about you workmanship !
I wouldn't trowel a footing (footer as you call it) 'baby bum smooth'. If you just give it a rough hand float to make it level for the forms, when you pour the wall the base of the wall gets a bit more grip on the footing making it even less likely to move. Being able to smile and joke after the pour is done is a very good day in concrete.
You make it look easy
Thanks
Great job guys,turn out fine 👍
Thanks
love that plastic tube - shut no big splat around cool thing
Merry Christmas.
Thanks
Those trucks front tires are britty massiv
Landscaping mighty slow in the winter, wish you were closer. I'd love to work on my off days at the powerhouse just to get away from the pandemic which has caused my house to be full of wife and kids during the week. I want my daytime during the week time off back! I cant listen to another "What are you doin now?"
Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs during the decomposition of natural uranium or thorium in the ground. Not a big deal outside - but inside is a different story. Interesting story is that a mine worker discovered his house had radon when he kept setting off the geiger counter at work and ended up bringing one home.
As always great Video 💯🔥
Thanks
“The Derby Crew”
Captain Kleeman named off everyone except himself. Part of what makes him the best employee that you don’t pay. When you said that you could see the gears turning as he tried to come up with a comeback. Either he failed or it wasn’t a PG retort. 😁
Looks great ! Gotta have some fun while workin bustin ass ! Lol
"A couple more like him and a pallet full of mirrors." Might should add a dozen extra Go-Pro's to that. 🤣 For you and him both!
Somebody musta stayed up late, watching horror movies, to dream up that layout. Maybe it will make more sense when there's a house built on it?
Informative video! Thanks
I was hoping for the ERICSON skycrane , helicopter, to drop in dozier ,lol,, but ramp is ok, formers look cool, like the work, I will be operating a E85 bobcat excavator for first time , wish me luck.. HAVE a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Lol that would be cool for sure
good video
Thanks
Look good
Thanks
I'll say that you run a pretty good operation.
Thanks
To bad your not in Texas, I would help you out.
watching from netherlands
Awesome
Good morning fella's!,,,,Look's cold there...time here 10:56pm monday here in South Australia Take care guy's! 🦘🦘🦘
One handed concrete pour baby
That’s what’s up
10:48 Radon is radioactive. Long term exposure may cause some cancers.
You gotta fill the windshield washer fluid when you do the walk around.
👍😁
Hello guys, form a drain looks good.
I tried to contact form a drain people's, but they didn't reply. Usually form a drain is leveled straight with leveled footing to be poured in it. How water moves in form a drain. As Inside of form a drain also have straight divider.
Unless we decline the form a drain. Which we don't, we level the form a drain to get leveled footing.
Please reply. I am going to start my home build in next two months.
clean up bucket is cheaper than a crane or helicopter or skidsteer, like those front unloading ready mix
Thanks and have one
WOW use to dig basements of that size and bigger in 1 day with a 955L by itself
Awesome
Great work. How about replicating your grade control system, add a couple of output channels, some geometry software and control the bucket on the excavator or extra wide blade for laser grading a basement? It might help less skilled operators to whisk through the work.
i knew the cast would come to the rescue .lol
Have you seen one of those Struck mini-dozers, they've got tracks, even a 3-point option on the back, and a Kubota diesel.
Yes
How long ago do you remember front dump cement trucks? I know when I see rear dumping cement trucks there is a Union workers.
When I went to the city in 1987 to build homes there were very few rear dump cement trucks. They built the front dump trucks in the area we were building homes.
glad to see a drain going outside the basement, is the homeowner getting a basement door by chance this time
Thanks and no sir
Train the new guy to buy Pepsi, so he can get a promotion to assistant Pepsi boy. Lol
Lol
Requirements of employment: show up on time, bring boss a Pepsi!
Nailed it 😁
Or chocolate milk😂
How did you get captain out of the equipment and dow on his knees????
It's fun to see your professional skills in your work
I have the same profession, yes I know that people I am crazy who look at you in my spare time.
One piece of advice only: use cheap work gloves and throw them away after you have finished the concrete job for the day. the concrete corrodes hands and wounds.
If you have time, a link to the sock you put on the concrete truck.
Thanks buddy
Good of you to keep all of the ner do wells in the county gainfully employed.
That gravel under the footer would be a big no up here. Along with a day lighted drain. You can build a house on top of a ridge here and they still require a sump and pump. Why? I do not know.
I do like that form a drain stuff but shouldn't the slots be on the bottom of it? Just my thought.
Good video thank you. Merry Christmas and best regards from Boone county.
Crazy
Good job always doing something a little different
Thanks
