Abbott and Costello’s humor lives on through Aaron and Mike’s daily adventures. I can’t believe that this video didn’t end with Aaron up on Mikes shoulders and both of them falling into the lake 😆
It's amazing that customers with grand visions and plans always seem to find you. They can't take their $$$ with them so let's call Dirt Perfect! He can make anything happen! Your life is 1 challenge after another! From shattered poles to straps too high, at least Aaron didn't end up among the lilly pads!! Lots of fun, worth watching over again! Thanks guys, went great with my morning coffee!
I was going to comment, that the 50-year carpenter in me, desperately wanted to get out my chalk line and a circular saw to straighten out those ends before they stuck it in the water! But you beat me to it.
I love this channel, at the end there, with all my experience working with boilermakers, 2 monkeys and a football came to mind. I'll be a fan 'till the end, y'all even make me miss going to work sometimes.
What a great day for me! I have time to watch and enjoy the fun and skill of this team that can handle anything that comes their way! Setting, drinking coffee and enjoying an awesome video 🎉❤🎉❤
I’m pretty sure this video was heavily edited when that pole blew up. I’m sure there was a more than a few choice words spoken in the cab…lol! Thanks for sharing DP!
Instead of Shorty shooting his mouth off about Let’s digit, he should have cleaned the tracks on the 120 before you went running down the highway. Oh another thing I noticed is that the auction number on the drivers side window still.
Murphy’s Law , guarantee those small in and out jobs that we think should be a quick buck says not today. I’m in the same boat usually. I in joyed watching your struggle if it makes you feel better while sitting in a nice cool dark house with 97 degree weather outside.
Hey, we have limestone in Florida sometimes when we're putting in putting in a pond dock are old trick is to take a piece of pipe conduit can we hook up a like an inch and a quarter like gas powered water pump from the lake or pond we've run the pipe all the way down the to the bottom of the thing and we put a we just flattened with the hammer so it makes a jet end and all we do is we put a we're running along the pipe couple of pipe straps just loosely and then hook it up to the water pump use as a jet drill and then once you get your pipe down in there you just slide the conduit out go on to the next one it works
The piling guys around me all seem to use a much shorter chain sling and then use the bucket curl to have a lot of control on the pile entry angle. They also use a slip hook on the pile side choke and a grab hook on the bucket side (to tweek the length of the sling by changing the size of the bucket side eye). They are able to make the choke relax and slide down some, and seem to be able to get it to come tight again by adjusting the bucket curl. Might be worth experimenting some....they make it look so easy (it isn't, they too are gifted and practiced operators).
Wowza. At least the rotten pole wasn't rotten all the way. Nice job getting it done, but yeah, you both were on the struggle bus there. Thanks for sharing, Mike.
Just might be the last time we see the super stick on the 120. 😢 There is a very high probability that a replacement has already got DP hooked! That being said, the super stick just might need some future modifications to work on the NEW excavator. And possibly some universal modifications so it works for ALL excavators. Despite the struggles, the job was a success. Just glad that one pole held up enough to be driven deep enough! Now the question is, how long will it last before it has to be replaced?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. That struggle at the end getting the strap down made things whole for me. I was left pondering just how you were getting the strap down after the third pole. I’m guessing the excavator was used from the discussion on the fourth. 😂 Wishing you and your family the best.
Mike and Aaron,could you build a tube hammer to attach to the bucket or as far out as possible,that could be used to hammer the poles down and maybe a concrete weight inside the bucket ?extra weight will help get poles down and having a tube battering attachment would give you more control ! Another workshop project. Im sure you will have more jobs like this one . Are there any plastic pontoons that you could use to sit the excavator on , instead of logs ,you know the ones that are floating docks for boats ,rhe only addition would be plywood on top so the machine dont slide . Light ro haul and handle
Simple jobs tend to be so difficult because there tends to be fewer things that cooperate with the endeavor. I expect those simple jobs to have such problems, so I bring along the horses to ensure that cooperation. Take care everyone and do you best as you always do. Cheers!
Dp's marine division at work again, have an idea you could make your own post hammer that could fit on the end of your diggers, would save your buckets. 👍
What you call simple is not what my book say simple is🤔 But then you are Dirt Perfect! Although you had me laughing out loud at the end with that silly strap!😂😂😂😂 You two are the best!!
I reckon the way Aaron handled that sling getting it down the pole, he got that skill from rotating a skipping rope for the girls at school in his younger days.
