    When we were kids my dad worked for the city and brought a dump-truck load of beautiful black sand home. Us kids played in it for weeks with our Tonkas and it was much later I learned it was dried sewage sludge from the disposal plant destined as fertilizer for the garden.

    Stan when you're digging down like this, start wide. For every 6" down you do, move 6" in and that will leave you a 1 to 1 slope on your sides when you're done and you won't have to come back and mess with it later. Used to dig pits with bulldozers and that's a nice trick. Good work. Love the videos

    Hey stan
    A trick to get the sand out from the top of the trailer is when its lifted all the way up tap as high as u can reach with a rubber mallet it will knock the sand lose so more material comes out without adding to the next load

    My parents yard is the same way. There's about 3" of top soil, then pure sand as far as you can dig. When we built the in-ground pool, it was still sand 8ft down. We had to keep spraying it down with water while we were coating the slope and bottom with vermiculite. Makes for a BIG water bill during the summer.

    My neighborhood here in southern ct actually has that exact same sand under it. When they built the neighborhood they sold all the topsoil and that’s the same color sand. Digging for pools is so easy and don’t even need to complete a perk test. Go down about another 10-15 ft in places and find very fine pea gravel.

    That almost reminds me of the sand around my parent's place in MN -- made for great sandbox sand growing up as it was about as fine as sugar. Didn't have quite the reddish color of what you're loading though. Also worked extremely well for leveling -- better than what I've usually seen being sold as mason sand in big box stores. ...we always called the sand on their property "sugar sand"

    Hi Stan,
    For this application moving the sand, The trailer I made would have worked perfectly. I was about a 3000 lb trailer that I made, and I put a 6000lb self dumping hopper on it.
    Loaded or empty it was easy and fast to dump by hand, and the steel was thick enough that it I hit it with a small excavator bucket it wouldn't self destruct. Also the cost was low.

    If you dig down anywhere from 3 to 30 feet in my area, you get this type of sand. Guys buy cheap land outside of town and make sand pits. We probably have 20+ sand pits within 20 miles or my property. Contractors will use the surge ponds as borrow pits to get the sand for grading and under pad work.

    • @dave_n8pu
      @dave_n8pu 4 роки тому +4

      I never worked where I had to drive anything with a trailer, 40 years in a machine shop. But one time while renting a U-Haul vehicle I happened to look in the glove box and they had instructions on backing a trailer. Most people, including me up until that time, will put your hand at the top of the wheel so you have to reverse your actions, want the trailer to go to your right, turn the wheel to the left. BUT the U-Haul instructions said to put your hand at the BOTTOM of the steering wheel, you want the trailer to go to your right, turn the wheel to the right. Later on when I was towing a trailer I tried that, SO MUCH easier. Why I shared that I don't know, but it helped me to back a trailer.

    Why was there sand on that property? Is it natural to the area or put there?

  • @pillaryclinton6187
    @pillaryclinton6187 4 роки тому

    I'm kinda confused as to what was so unique or advantageous of digging with this method. I mean basically your just taking small thin lifts instead of just a deep short hole. Which is really the way you would want to dig it since the trailer is in front of your hole and you've got to keep a path to load the trailer. So an army engineer had to tell you that if you just take a small little bite but stretch it out longer you can fill your bucket without digging a giant hole in your path to the trailer.?.? I'm impressed he could figure that out being an engineer he sounds like a bright guy, did you ask for any other awesome tips or tricks I'm sure he could teach someone a whole lot with his info. 😂😂
