I will say you always stay busy my friend and you did a excellent job and quick with your equipment, you have about just as much John Deere shirts as me 😁
Good call on using the trencher. It was much faster and easier than the backhoe, and the backfill dirt was better to pack in around the pipe, compared to big bucket clods. Good to see you making progress, can't wait for more!
Yeah, that whole process was a lot smoother than I was expecting and I think the key was using the trencher. Like you said, it just made it a cleaner process Thanks for following along
That was a cool little project and that trencher worked out great. 👍👍 I think initially you were worried about water going around the pipe underground if the trench was too wide. I've seen people will take a few bags of concrete on the pond side of the pipe and create a concrete collar to prevent that. I don't think you'll have that problem though. Take care.
Good job Brock! That skid steer is getting a lot of use. I don't know why I was amazed you had a transit. Maybe because a few years ago they were pretty; I'm not sure what they cost today but in that line of work they are a very handy tool.
I believe it cost $500 for the transit level but I probably saved $5000 by doing the grading work on the Quonset Hut instead of hiring it out so a transit level and a plate compactor made sense
Personally Brock, I think running that 6” trench blade side by side worked quite well! Back when I worked in Hollywood we called that “Learn while you earn!” (Trying something new) - but I don’t think you earned anything. LOL. Oh well! Something learned! --J.Andre.
Brock might not have earned in this job…. But he sure saved on it by doing it himself. My grandparents always said… it’s not how much you make… it’s about how much you save. ( they were newlyweds during the “Great Depression”.
I really fell like you need something to do. You just seem to have sooo much free time on your hands. If you could just somehow find a task or chore that needs to be done. JK. Don't know how u do it. Thanks for the vid.

I think you nailed it. That overflow pipe will work so long as it dont get blocked up with big chunks of debris.. Looks good.
I like how it turned out!!! But if it doesn't work , just like everything else in life, work on it till it does what you want!!!
Sounds right
Thanks for watching

Something about that logo
That worked out really nice. Can't wait to see the bridge put into place.

Thanks for sharing
Awesome work man! I'm gonna be doing the same on my pond here shortly.
Another great video! Now I have to get busy myself. I've got a lot of firewood to process and it's not going to process itself.
I hear you. Always a job calling us out
Good 👍
Thanks

No seep collar on the pipe? What are you going to do if water leaks around the pipe?
Awesome job,,,
Thank you
Thank you
Great video
Thanks

Yeah, when I went outside with the camera I have no idea how I was going to dig it but that worked great

@@rgd2598 - that’s an awesome quote. I love it.
Makes sense to me. Looks like it would work great! But where was your work double? lol
Good stuff. Forgot to ask on the last vid...what are you using all that hay for? Just selling?
Yes, the people who bail it Buy it from us
Any concern of the pipe clogging?
What would an 8” blade cost. You would have it for other jobs if needed.
Hope you don't have beavers in the 'hood. They love running water.

I do try to stay busy. I appreciate you giving me a hard time about it
