The germans are really keen on compaction, hence so many reknown compaction equipment manufacturers from there. You are ahead of the curve by employing compaction where and when most would skip. You are a true professional excavation contractor. Just look at the autobahn and its duration to prove the concept.
Man, when I watch you operate, its so soothing. Its really hard to watch some other operators run equipment because of how hard they push it. There are only a few dirt works UA-camrs that I can tolerate watching, this is, without a doubt my favorite one.
That's a good job of saving some money by 'stepping' the clean rock and dirt backfill. Good seeing you on alert about saving needless wasted rock/aggregate. Well done!
You do such awesome work, Chris. You show your skills, abilities, and knowledge every time you work especially with construction like this. You are so much fun to watch. Thanks for sharing with us.
That is really shaping up nicely, one can see once the back fill job is complete how much easier it will be to get around on the site and approach the building itself. Thanks for the update, enjoyed watching.
Just goes to show, over dig makes more room for the base building and extra space to fill up when backfilling. Always have to be thinking ahead. Great example of the process of backfilling too.
At least Billy Bob Bealy is spending his $$$ keeping us all working - so many other multi-millionaires are hoarding cash and not helping America out! 😁
Well deserved Jeff not sure I spelled your name correctly if not my apologies. Are you still running your AV Business or have you sold it and moved on to something else ? Just curious. Great vids from both LD and BG.
The next Workday by the Operation Backfill by the Bealy Mansion. The filling with Gravel is make. This Day the Complete filling with Earth and Gravel and always with the Roller to make Firm that not Hole in the Earth. You make this filling Work, how You all Work make , always 100 % Perfect. Thanks for this Video Part. 💪👌
Chris you need to tell this person just what that little sheepsfoot roller weighs. I've used a slick double drum roller many times to roll our High School baseball field in the Spring before the season starts and the grass starts to grow. Really makes for a smooth field to play on. It always makes for some really true bounces if the ball is missed.
Chris, what your have done thus far on the Bealy farm is some great work, that you should be very proud of, and your professionalism shows in all that you do. Looks great so far and can't wait til the rest is all covered and finished all the way around, and get things more closed in and started on the first floor soon...
@@dirtfarmer7472 ok, guess he did make it look easy then….it’s basically the first task you ask any new equipment operator to do because it’s not hard…just don’t hit the foundation
He can not go back to customers property it is private property. If customer okays it then it is cool, but I doubt Chris wants to risk antagonizing a potential future customer. 🤔
And, Poof !! He Gone !! lolol... Geoff's house is coming on along slowly but, surely !! I know it's gonna be one Nice Big Ass House, when it is done with... lolol... Great as Always Chris, Have a Great Weekend, And Evening, And, On too the Next !!
Back in the 60's they called the compactor you are using as a goats feet compactor. I'm am originally from the cold state of Wisconsin It is really something how names change for the objects we use
don't know much about ICF foundation but doesn't seem the floor will be structural till its poured and locked into poured walls, even traditional poured walls we didn't backfill till 1st floor framing was complete?
So, filling in the trench with gravel. than laying down a waterproof mat over the gravel, than pushing dirt over it, than more gravel and finally more dirt. What good does the mat do ?
This is one episode I'd have like to be twice as long as it was. Given the shape of Geoff's house it's was intersection watching Chris doing the backfilling.
0:44 can you transport the trackloader on your new trailer? if to heavy is it because of gross weight legality or hardware constraint? it should approximately have 15.6tonns/34k lbs
If you watch many of these channels, you start to see common things, like how everybody is using Takeuchi skidsteers, Cat track loaders, Volvo haulers, Yanmar minis... there are reasons why. If you watched today's Camarata video, he was almost angry at the end about how much better his Takeuchi worked over the machine he had used in the video. These folks have their favorites for good reasons.
It's a padfoot roller, not sheepsfoot. They are completely different. A padfoot is designed for clay type soil. The pad is intended to shear the clay and mechanically break the Van der Vaals effect that electrostatically binds the soil particals together. The pad ends are angled to avoid kicking out the soil as the pad exits the hole it has made ( unlike a sheepsfoot) The father of vibratory compaction is generally regarded to be Dr Lars Forsblad (deceased) Sweden. He determined 1960/70 soil/rock 1800 vibrations per minute, asphaltic concrete 3000 vpm, Portland cement concrete 12,000 vpm. LD18 is top operator in not using vibe close to the walls. I would have with that small machine, but only on half vibration
What ever you do chris it's all ways perfection ❤️ like the comment from over folk has well thanks again what would we do with our a great 👍 excavator operator
@@genesispuredeaf2390 Colorado, California, Arizona. I've seen a foundation that was backfield with no soil testing and after a heavy rain the ground swallowed the a/c unit and the pad it was built on.

Looking great, foundation held up great during storm. Good drainage atributed to the hard work and planning you and Geoff implemented.
Can't wait to see once all the soil is up against the foundation, looks good so far.
What you are doing there is just fantastic, the compacting . leveling etc. It makes the side look so much better too. Greetings from Australia
This a pretty big moment for Geoff! I like it! 😊
Love that lil sheepsfoot!
Side layering stone & dirt = genius!
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Chris loves to see Mr. Bealy Good's number pop up on his phone....haha
One sack of cash per occurrence.
Custom ringtone of a cash register bell or slot machine jackpot
Looks good. Hope the rain stays away. Nice job Chris. Have a good weekend.
I tell you what YOU ARE THE MAN !!!!! You make that look so easy, great work
Backfilling started and starting to look good!! Going to make a huge difference for the workers and owner!!
nothing better than watching really good experienced operators love the videos hats of to you
Would love to see a snapshot of the house when it's done. Good job on the backfill Bill Poust 👍
Good to see your toys mucking in to help on this project bro. Each has it's own purpose in helping. Safe travels. Ken.
Good a From Australia always good to see a Little Dirt shufflin an some compaction goin on :)

I still can believe that that little roller is effective. Though I have watched since you bought it. :) Thank you and have a wonderful week.

That's a interesting, rough feature of that house that no one will think after its built

Excellent Job. Making it look easy.
What’s so hard about it?

The series with that huge pond, would love to see how it looks filled with water

If you're talking about that huge hole with the gigantic dam, you'll never see that one full of water.
@@dennis2376I think a customer would love to show off the finished product. I know I would
@@gerell89 But not everyone. :)
Coming along nicely Chris great job as usual 😊
Chris you may not win all the competitions but when it comes time to do a job and use ur own equipment you win hands down the smoothest operater
Chris and Jeff are no dummies. They know all about saving money when you can and spending it when you can't Looking good buddy.
Nice video Chris.
It`s coming along nicely Chris, no need to waste rock when fill dirt can work, be well my friend.
I would guess that you use that compacter at once every 10-15 years, nice to have on hand when you need it.
You can make a dirt pile water proof, that pile is packed tight!
Was thinking the same thing. The 953 was digging hard to get some good scoops!
Great job Chris thanks
Ascending towards the top of mount Backfill, Chris hopes there will be no leaks or else the offending puddles will be named after him.
And he hasn't even touched Mount BealyGood.
:)
That looking good Chris
Great title. You're going to have to dig another pond just to have enough dirt to back fill!
You forgot about Mount BealyGood.
Love your channel!

At ~ 16:20 there’s some serious drinking happening on the back of the mini. 😎
Finally Geoff's basement becomes a basement !!!!😉👌
I hope Mr Bealy gets a will on that property and houses so they stay in the family and out of the hands of greedy ex's and such ❤❤❤

Tell Geoff he needs to do a police call before you back fill anymore.

Everything I never needed to know about compaction!
You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear.. but you got close.
When will this house be built?
Jeff has plenty of scratch just fill it in with gavel. 😶
👍👍👍
That ought to keep chez Bealy, well enough French drained.
LetsFill18!
You can tell this project is getting stale and Chris is ready to move on. Not wasting any time or making unnecessary movements. Carpe Diem!
Good work Chris, this should keep Geoff from making any more foundation changes.
You under-estimate Geoff. :-)
@@JohnShalamskas Lady Bealy Good. :)
Shhh! Let him make all the change orders he can afford!
Should have placed some fabric before the dirt
Very nice as always.be safe.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Why doesn’t Volvo make a skid steer??
They do, though it was sold to Geely(China).
@@dansbrown1313 Volvo also is owned by a Chinese company now.
They do. But Takeuchi is better.

What ever you do chris it's all ways perfection ❤️ like the comment from over folk has well thanks again what would we do with our a great 👍 excavator operator

No soil compaction testing? Strange building codes you have down there.
Not for a residential house backfill
Why, he is not building in that area it is just future lawn.🤔
Where do they require soil compaction testing for residential backfill?
@@genesispuredeaf2390 Colorado, California, Arizona. I've seen a foundation that was backfield with no soil testing and after a heavy rain the ground swallowed the a/c unit and the pad it was built on.
