Looks Great! Nice work. I love that you said "when you dig a hole...take pride in your hole". I feel like part of the problem with the world today is that there are a lot of people out there digging holes...but not many who dig them and take pride in them.
Looks fantastic and always feels good to fly the flag! You all did a great job and that’s coming from a 16 year old boy, great video! Thank you for your service🇺🇸
“When you dig a hole, take pride in your hole!” That could be a motivational poster and needs to be hanging in many households today. Thanks for recording your hard work and sharing the pride we all felt once you’re flags were raised and sailing. Stay safe, and Semper Fi!!!
Looks great but a lot of work. I have found that using Quickrete Fast-Setting Concrete Mix is much faster and simpler. You pour it in the hole like sand and hose it down. It dries in about 4 hours but, for me, it has always been solid much quicker. Still needs to set a day to dry thoroughly. But, It sure beats needing a mixer and wheelbarrow. I have used it on my privacy fence posts and my flagpole. I had my flagpole up for 7 years and is was doing fine until the pole snapped in a wind right before this Covid mess started. I finally got my new pole in today and will be putting it up this weekend although I may be moving it to another location as we have a tree (that the light company planted in the front yard to replace one they had to take down) that has died. We thought the flagpole would be better there than where I had it out by the mailbox. It will be easier to light now closer to the house. Gonna try solar first but will wire one if necessary.
Another patriotic video. I love it! And yeah, it's probably a good idea to make sure the flagpole is anchored down to the ground completely with concrete.
Good job. After the original video, I figured you be back out using concrete in the spring. I have the 30’ internal halyard version of this pole. I did a 50”x26” concrete foundation. I didn’t want the foundation to be the weak link.
What do you mean soil like other people? You bought a farm of course there was going to be rocks! :P Edit: Now Mom knows what it was like putting all the concrete in with you around the foundation of the last house!
Oh no. I put my flagpole up earlier this summer… I live in the Adirondack mountains, it hasn’t seen a winter yet, but what you said about it leaning makes me nervous, hopefully I did a professional enough job!
Excellent video and great step by step instruction. Where did you buy that pole? I have gone through 5 flagpoles in two years as they break or bend with the heavy winds. Looking for a solid 25ft pole for my flags. Any ideas will be appreciated. God Bless
I almost fell out of my chair laughing when he said “you put it in and I’ll ram it”,cause if I said that to my wife she would have thrown the shovel at me and went in the house 😂😂😂
Thank you. You are the only video I found that demonstrates how to place the ground sleeve in such a way that it remains plumb during the concrete placement. Well done.
A great video! I got my pole in the ground, now I have to take it out of the sleeve for repair Can you describe exactly how to do that? I can’t find any video showing how to remove the pole. The sand seems to have it locked in pretty tight. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you in advance. Jimmy
That lady is gonna scob his noggin ifn he don't talk nicer. Jus sayin. And, thank you for your service sir. God bless America and the men and women who serve and protect Her.
Gonna be honest. You’re a Saint for working on a project with the Wife. I love mine to the Moon and back but, I can’t stand working on projects with my Old Lady. Always ends up getting in the way, wanting to have conversations, asking if I’m doing it right! Every time I hand that woman a tool she either breaks something or hurts herself. It always end with “get in the house” but I sure love her, even though her brain be sigogglin.. Lol.
