It looks great. I did agree with you that there was no need to dig out the garage. Leave the center in and thatscless fill need to go back in and less clean rock to have to be put in also. That looks like some good material to do the backfill when the time comes.
You know the grounds is hard when you have to drag through the ground four times to get a half bucket of spoils!!! How are those new teeth holding up? I dug out a small stump today. A 5 minute job took 25! My daughter in Florida has already had 7” of rain… expecting a foot by morning. They’ve pumped their pool twice already. I told her to text me a couple of inches of rain! I liked the overhead shots… it really showed where the plot sat.
I have almost worn the teeth out in 35 hours 🤦🏼♂️ wait until fridays video of trying to dig the basement. Wow that’s a lot of rain hope they fair the storm well. Keep me posted
Nice work! I've seen crawl spaces like this with a heavily insulated concrete floor, and insulated foundation walls used as a plenum for the Heating and AC of the structure above, no duct work required. I always thought it was very efficent.
Slick! We really liked those top down shots at the end. I had to chuckle over the paper towel comment because that's just the kind of thing I do as well. I'm paranoid about scratching my stuff too, LOL! I did find some very thin silicone rubber sheet that's about 1mm thick with 3M adhesive on one side that works nice. It's thin enough not to interfere with the magnet and thick enough to protect the metal when you put it on the magnet and attach the magnet to a metal surface. It has a high operating temperature range, too.
Thank you! Oh that’s a good idea. Lol yeah I like the receiver but hate using it on there because it can scratch 🤦🏼♂️🤣 I don’t like scratches. I’ll have to try some of that. Appreciate you watching
Could u uncurl the bucket all the way and then Ud just have to worry about the boom being at a 90 , (long as your not pushing the teeth/cutting edge into the ground real hard I guess)n not the bucket and the boom ?? Keep on keepin on brother 👌👌🤘🤘🤘
You could that’s how I use to do it but you it only checks the grade at the teeth or cutting edge. Using the bottom of the bucket gives you more surface area to check. Appreciate you watching
The whole idea of mounting a laser on a machine is something I have thought about in the past, but I always imagined it falling off. I could not catch your video earlier as my power was off and although I have a generator, there was no internet. The hurricane had minimal impact here but farther northwest of me it is like a war zone. Considering how rocky the ground is there, what you left behind makes sense. Great job as always!
They are really strong magnets but you can still knock them off if you really jar the arm. Glad to hear you are doing well that looked like quite the storm
It's always nice to have plenty of room to work
Yes it is
the man knows what he is doing, have to work smarter not harder! 👍👍
I try too once in awhile lol
The laser receiver sure saves crawling in and out. Nice work...
Yes it does. Big time saver

Nicely done Brandon.
Thank you!
That’s some hard ground!
Some of the hardest I’ve dug so far
I bought one of those sensors after I saw Dirtboss's. I mostly use it on my load arms when I grad off a building pad. It works great for that too.
Yeah it’s a really handy laser
You’re in Joplin??? Come fix my pond dam in Miami, OK!
I am, I could definitely do that 👍🏻
Can you please make a video on how to set it up the Lazer. Like bring your camera out with you. Please👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yeah I can do that
Cool
Thanks!
Been trying to find one of those laser receivers - they are out of stock everywhere.
It took me 5 months to get this one. It’s amazing no one has them

Brandon, how much extra time do you estimate a job when digging in these rocky conditions?
I usually figure a few extra days. The basement area will probably take me 3 days. It’s really rocky
