    My experience working with telecomm companies for over 40 years, is that a backhoe is the best tool for locating underground utilities. My favorite was when MCI dug up an 800-pair cable IN THEIR OWN PARKING LOT while training new employees... Maybe training them on what NOT to do....

    Hi Chris,
    May I ask when you sleep?? Or do you have a mattress in the back of your truck.
    From working the full time job, having the farm, and all the side jobs I don't know how you do it.
    Everyone in the state wants you since you are one hell of an operator and you also have an extended knowledge of this buisness. There are not to many that know all the facets of this buisness but you are well versed in all of them.
    Keep up the great work and all the awesome videos you create.
    Everything that you've earned is rightfully yours and you deserve everything you've received at such a young age.
    Have a great week coming up and can't wait to see what video is next.

    I've replaced a lot of culverts with 57 stone bedding. If there is a large difference between the upstream water surface and the downstream water surface, water will flow through the 57 stone and drag the fine soil around the pipe out and then water will run under the culvert instead of through it. I have pictures of culverts that didn't wash completely out, but there is a tunnel from one end to the other. The water went down before the culvert washed out. Well graded material should be used for bedding, not open graded 57 stone.

Also, why was it necessary to remove the lifting U bolts/chain hooks from the pipe ?
