YIKES! I Need To Get In Shape! 

I am the homeowner. Tom IS a great friend. And yes, Tom got the huge maple logs from my yard. Thanks again,Tom!

Very nice video, Tom. I watched it late yesterday on my TV. I loaded flatbed for years. Did not know that scissor ratchets were illegal in PA. Thanks for keeping your awesome content coming. It's always good stuff!!👍❤️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

Run your drill in reverse to get it started through the siding, it'll make a smooth hole instead of jagged

Tom, if you start drilling in reverse it will cut through the vinyl siding without wanting to tear the material. This usually works for that type of material.

All the wire in the conduit has to be rated for the highest voltage wire. Usually 600 volts for thhn or thwn . Of course homeowners do whatever they want so who cares. At least the telephone guy caught it

@concretewiththehauses run the hole saw in reverse in the vinyl siding it wont catch and tear it melts its way through, yes its harder on the bit but better than trying to replace siding.

i am 67 will be 68 in march, still doing construction

Good morning Tom, a little late catching up & watching this video…excellent work as always Have a day 😊

In case you want to turn the travel alarm off, till you decide you want to turn it back on......... You can do it in the CAT Monitor by going to: Service/Service Mode/"1234"/Machine/Installations/Travel Alarm......"OK" to disable the travel alarm. Same procedure will turn it back on for when you are in a location where it may be needed or helpful. Really wish the button to your right (the one you used getting off the trailer) would do this, would be safer in my opinion (mostly use my machine with no one else around). After-all, they did put this in there as an "option", a completely inconvenient option, but an option none the less, so it must be okay to use it during "appropriate" times......😂 Are you liking the 302CR, in comparison to your older 301.7? I am loving 302CR, I have 120 some hours on it at this point. Decided to get a hydraulic coupler for it from Hartford Attachments in the UK, called the Uni-lok hydraulic coupler (get it with the lifting eye, it's in a better position than the eye on the bucket link), I got mine from Dar @ Solaris Attachments. It was made to order so it took several weeks plus Fed-Ex ships it to you, which seems to take weeks to get out of any European airport.... It uses the same basic design as the CAT coupler, with the wedge locking the rear pin so it automatically adjusts to stay tight each time you engage it. Also it is setup as a single lock & unlock coupler, so the "safety" front pin lock opens and closes with the rear wedge (like it should...). It's not cheap but worth every penny, no more getting in and out of the cab unless you have hydraulic hoses for a tilt bucket or something. They can provide a full hydraulic fitting kit for it, or you can get the "Hydraulic quick coupler lines" from CAT and then the system works thru the monitor (what I went with and had CAT install it all as the initial setup of the machine), the line setup is available to order thru the parts department, at-least a year ago it was not available as an "option" on a new machine unless it was ordered from the parts department separately (not sure why....). I haven't figured out how to remove the floor mat to clean it easily..... I think you have to take the pedals off to get it out.......(REALLY CAT.....) Let me know if you figure out how to do that with the pedals in place! Have a good one!!👍

i trend to add a piece of cardboard over the top of that and drill it all at the same time which keeps the drill centered.

I don't know about Pittsburgh, but them plastic bags are illegal in Philly! Who would have ever thought 😮

Also use 2 45’ bends rather than a 90’ and your electric guy will love you.

Drill a hole in a board and put that board over the hole. It will act as a guide and make a nice hole. 😊

Nice little job ❤

Another great job you can do about everything i think and always does it right im sure your friend is happy too 👍🏻

Good morning Tom. Another nice project completed and done right 👍

❤️Tom! Your the 1st RU-vid person I’ve seen use a proper method (IMO), for glueing conduit! Only glueing the pipe and not the hub. Glueing the hub can make a ridge of glue inside the conduit making pulling wire difficult to say the least. Nice job!

Impressive job, Tom! You’re one heckuva great friend!! 😊

Tom i haven't seen anything you cannot do yet :) Great job, always good to help a neighbor, we use to have that happen more often than not, these days it has become rare to see it.. shame huh? Well there is still hope for America :) Keep up the good work sir. from SE Texas Bear :)

Good job....yrs ago[40-45] I'd do it by hand...to old of an electrician now!

I always use a small piece of plastic bag just big enough to fit the pipe. Tie a knot around it and go. If you have to pull it back it won’t tear loose.

Yet another "how to" project , that everyone can benefit from...good deal , Tom 👍💯

If you get the opportunity you should make a scraper blade to fit that small bucket. Easier to dig around lines without the teeth hooking things. 😊

Next time get a scrap of 1x4 cut a hole in it, then use that as a guide against the siding for your forstner bit. 😉👍

Tom the wood butcher, you got through it and you can’t see it from my house. You should stick to concrete. Just kidding your fine get an extra tube of caulk. Your a good friend Tom

You may have taught me something today , that vacuum trick may work cleaning the discharge line on my heat pump , if any slime buildup is inside it , Thank you Tom

A little caulk will make it good!

Nice Vid!

tom you should always run the machine at full throttle never low it puts too much of a strain on the pump

Hey Tom when pulling the wire through it’s not a bad idea to pull another run of string to leave in there for future use if any additional wire needs to be added.

Tom, try running the drill backwards at first. It is less aggressive, then go "Forward".

Good morning Tom

When vacuuming the bag through the pipe, start at the female end. Then the bag is sliding across the bell, not the sharp edges of the male portion of the pipes.

My boss had a couple electrical sub-contractors that used heat wrap blankets to bend sched 4o conduit .

Not bad for a concrete guy !!!

Do not worry the concrete will get you in shape! You only have to work until 67 and full social security retirement age.

Telephone man here. Communications lines can be in the same trech as power, but not the same conduit, that said, if you already had the 1 inch pipe on hand we can be in the same pipe as cable tv.

You don’t have to use the whole bag just a small piece will work, install the sweeps and risers it will pull through the sweeps real easy, 40 years as an electrician

Did you forget to put the pull string back in?

Was this the same place where you got a large log from?

Hole saws work much better, get pick the right size hole saw and use another one the size of the existing hole at the same time, slip it down the arbor as a drill guide until the hole is started FYI

That's a job for a holesaw, not a Forstner bit.

Fun fact Mr Haus, Chuck Norris can pee his name into concrete.

Where is the Warning tape?

IF YOU WERE PULLING THE WIRES WHAT DIFFERENCE WAS SIZE OF CONDUIT WAS USED?

ru-vid.coml31Y_nEb7Fc This will solve the issue with the whole saw next time.

Them saw bits like that It really hard to cut through anything when it's already a hole there them things want to walk all over

Next time if there is a next time use a piece of 2 by as a guide to drill thru.

Tom, good Sunday morning. Someday day you WILL learn to not help neighbors. Easy way to always be the mostest, bestest, most favorite neighbor in the hood. I never did, but you're more smarter than I ever was😢😢. I'm sure your neighbor friend appreciated your work. Good guy. Have a good Sunday. Who's your pick for the SB?? Hope 49ers win, but I took Taylor's team with points. I'm sorry, I meant the Chiefs😢😢
